Spice perfumes
The spice accord is a general scent family describing the warm, sharp and aromatic impression created by several spices together, rather than any single one, much like the mixed smell of a spice shop. It adds liveliness, warmth and character.
Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, ginger and cumin are typical materials, and whether the effect reads fresh or warm depends on which spices lead. Spices usually show in the top and heart. They pair often with woody, amber, citrus, vanilla and oud accords. Light, peppery versions work in the daytime, while dense blends suit autumn and winter evenings.
The Spice accord appears in 8 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
