Soft spicy perfumes

The soft spicy accord shows the sweeter, creamier and gentler side of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, saffron and pink pepper, rather than their sharp, fiery edge. It presents spice in a smooth, rounded way.

Saffron, cardamom, mild cinnamon, nutmeg, tonka and a touch of clove are typical materials, often softened with vanilla and musk. These notes appear in the heart and carry their warmth into the base. Soft spices pair often with powdery notes, vanilla, amber, rose and woods. Because they give a noticeable but not heavy warmth, soft spicy fragrances suit autumn and winter days, office wear and dinners out.

The Soft spicy accord appears in 13,014 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
