Warm spicy perfumes

The warm spicy accord is the hot, sweetish and slightly fiery smell of spices such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and allspice. It brings the kind of warmth you associate with winter baking or mulled drinks.

Cinnamon bark, clove bud, nutmeg, allspice and saffron are its usual materials, with eugenol from clove and cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon doing much of the work. These notes tend to sit in the heart and stretch into the base. Warm spices pair readily with amber, vanilla, woods, oud and tobacco. Because they have a strong presence, warm spicy fragrances are most often chosen for autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions.

The Warm spicy accord appears in 46,119 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
