Warm & Spicy
What notes are spicy?
Spicy notes are aromas that titillate the nose, creating a warm and inviting aura. Many spicy fragrances feature notes of delicious cooking spices such as pepper, star anise, and cumin. In contrast, other spicy notes like sandalwood and patchouli have much earthier origins.
What are warm vs. cold scents?
While warm scents featuring spicy notes help to create sensually balmy aromas, cold scents are fresh and crisp. Cold scents like menthol, peppermint, and eucalyptus lend themselves to reinvigorating fragrances that unlock the senses. Warmer notes fair better in colder seasons like fall and winter.
What can they be paired with?
Spicy notes are often paired with woody, gourmand, or citrus notes to create a well-balanced fragrance. If you’re searching for an intense perfume or cologne that will leave its mark wherever you go, consider a fragrance that pairs spicy notes with earthy, woody aromas. If you’re after an airy fragrance, consider spicy notes fused with a light citrus bouquet.
