Asphault perfumes

The asphalt accord is a scent family that evokes the dark, tarry, smoky and slightly mineral smell of freshly laid road on a hot day or wet tarmac after rain. It appears in urban, experimental perfumes. It adds a tough, city-bred character.

The effect is usually built with birch tar, cade oil, smoky molecules, mineral notes and dry woody materials, and wet-asphalt interpretations often add petrichor-like rain notes. Asphalt notes are mostly felt in the heart and base. They pair often with smoky, leather, mineral, metallic and woody accords. Asphalt fragrances suit autumn, city life and evening wear.

The Asphault accord appears in 27 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
