Description of Oriental accords

In Oriental accords, Amber notes dominate. But Oriental perfumes represent a separate family because of their accentuated warmth and sensuality. Their character comes from a composition of 'opposites' such as vanilla and agarwood or sandalwood. They also include the classic Amber ingredients like vanilla and resins like frankincense, myrrh, opoponax and most of the time contain Rose Damascus. This family is the source of intoxicating and musky perfumes. Oriental perfumes are divided in the following categories:
​

• Floral Oriental (also called 'Floriental'): Sweet, warm, powdery base is typical of this group and marries with flowers like gardenia, tuberose, tiare or with a spicy note of carnation.
• Fougere Oriental: The harmony of oriental components (warm woody and spicy notes) is refreshed with aromatic lavender, rosemary, coumarin and oak moss.
• Spicy Oriental: Hot and sensual spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg are united with oriental materials, such as woods and resins.
• Vanilla Oriental: This group unites sweet perfumes, built on harmony of oriental notes (wood, resins, flowers and spices) and sweet components such as caramel, vanilla, chocolate, almonds, honey
• Woody Oriental: Traditional oriental ingredients are enriched with woody accords of warm sandalwood or with drier notes of cedar or vetiver.
