Oriental perfumes: a guide to the olfactive family
An oriental perfume is built on warm, enveloping notes: amber, vanilla, incense, resins, spices. It leaves a rich, sensual trail. At Scentissime, this family brings together niche creations for women, for men and unisex.
Which notes make an oriental perfume?
Amber and vanilla bring warmth and softness. Incense and resins add depth. Spices (cinnamon, saffron, cardamom) lift the whole. Wood, musk or patchouli extend the trail.
Does an oriental perfume suit men?
Yes. For men, amber or incense is often paired with wood, leather or spices. The trail is warm and structured.
When to wear an oriental perfume
It comes into its own in autumn, in winter and in the evening. These compositions are often concentrated: a few sprays are enough.
