Metallic perfumes

Metallic perfumes

The metallic accord gives a cool, sharp and slightly mineral impression, like cold steel, coins, iron or a metal key held in the hand. It brings a modern, abstract and slightly detached feel to a fragrance.

Since metal itself does not smell, the effect is built with aldehydes, ozonic molecules, rose oxide, certain nitriles and ketones, and cool spices such as pink pepper and ginger. Metallic notes are usually felt in the top and heart. They pair often with iris, aldehydic, ozonic, aquatic and woody accords. Thanks to their cool, understated character, metallic fragrances suit spring and autumn days, city life and minimal, modern styles.

The Metallic accord appears in 2,632 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
