Oriental fragrances are those that change the most throughout the day. At two hours, at the moment of greatest intensity, and at night, when resins and woods have merged with the skin: they are three different fragrances from the same bottle. That is what makes them unique, and also what generates the strongest loyalty that exists in perfumery.
What an oriental fragrance contains
Orientals are built on a warm and dense base: amber, resins like benzoin or incense, woods like oud and sandalwood, spices like cinnamon, cardamom or black pepper. On that base, different hearts are built: floral (jasmine, rose, iris), spiced (ginger, clove), woody (vetiver, patchouli) or gourmand (vanilla, tonka).
The most sought-after subfamilies for women
Floral orientals are the most accessible: amber envelops a jasmine or iris heart without becoming heavy. Spicy orientals add pepper or cardamom to gain vibrancy and character. Woody orientals, with oud and sandalwood, are the most intense and those with the greatest projection. Gourmand orientals, with vanilla and caramel mixed in resins, are the favourites for autumn and winter.
When to wear an oriental
Orientals shine in the cold months and nocturnal contexts: a dinner, an evening out, an occasion where you want to leave a lasting impression. Body temperature activates the resins and amplifies the projection naturally.
