Perfumes with Cognac

Cognac smells warm and boozy with dried fruit, caramel and light oak nuances, the scent of grape brandy aged in barrels, giving a fragrance a mature, indulgent depth.

Perfumers have a material called cognac oil, distilled from wine lees, which smells green, oily and fruity; the cognac note itself is usually an accord built from this oil, esters and vanillic materials. It evokes raisins, plums and oak. Cognac is used in the top and heart of a fragrance. It pairs with tobacco, vanilla, cinnamon, leather, tonka and woods.

Cognac appears in 787 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
