{"title":"Perfumes with spices","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe spices note covers the dried bark, buds, seeds and berries that give a perfume its warm, dry sparkle: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, coriander, cumin and the peppers. Used in small doses, they add grain and heat to flowers, woods and amber. These are the perfumes in our collection that list spices among their notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes into a spice accord\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfumery borrows its spices from the kitchen cupboard, but what reaches the bottle is an oil, an extract or a rebuilt accord rather than the ground spice. Cinnamon comes from bark and is sweet, warm and slightly woody. Clove comes from dried flower buds and has a dry, sweet-sharp intensity; its main aroma compound, eugenol, is shared with the carnation. Nutmeg is the seed of a tropical tree, creamy and a little woody. Coriander seed is lemony and sharp, cumin earthy with a hint of skin, black pepper dry and biting. Pink pepper is not a true pepper but a berry, used for a rosy, airy crackle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow spices behave in a composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oils are strong, so perfumers dose them lightly. Pepper, coriander and nutmeg are volatile and tend to open a perfume, while cinnamon and clove are heavier and often move into the heart. Spices rarely lead alone. They give flowers a dry edge, make woods warmer and keep sweet notes from turning flat. Clove beside rose is a classic pairing; cinnamon beside vanilla or amber feels cosy rather than sugary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfumes with spices in the pyramid\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/zoologist-moth-extrait-de-parfum-60ml\"\u003eZoologist Moth\u003c\/a\u003e opens with black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cumin, nutmeg and saffron, over a floral heart and a smoky base. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/zoologist\"\u003eZoologist\u003c\/a\u003e sums it up as Dusty Honeyed Florals + Spicy Smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/frederic-malle-portrait-of-a-lady-eau-de-parfum-50ml\"\u003eFrederic Malle Portrait of a Lady\u003c\/a\u003e keeps clove in the heart, beside blackcurrant and raspberry, under a rose top and above patchouli, sandalwood and frankincense. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/frederic-malle\"\u003eFrederic Malle\u003c\/a\u003e files it as Floral Chypre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fragrance-du-bois-oud-bleu-intense-parfum-100ml\"\u003eFragrance Du Bois Oud Bleu Intense\u003c\/a\u003e starts with cardamom, nutmeg and mandarin and ends in resinoids, styrax, benzoin and vintage oud. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fragrance-du-bois\"\u003eFragrance Du Bois\u003c\/a\u003e calls it Fresh Woody.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/maison-crivelli-papyrus-moleculaire-eau-de-parfum-100ml\"\u003eMaison Crivelli Papyrus Moléculaire\u003c\/a\u003e gives no tiers: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/maison-crivelli\"\u003eMaison Crivelli\u003c\/a\u003e lists coriander, papyrus, sandalwood and black pepper essential oils with tonka bean, tobacco absolute and leather accord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/lorenzo-pazzaglia-dream-sea-extrait-de-parfum-50ml\"\u003eLorenzo Pazzaglia Dream Sea\u003c\/a\u003e writes Spices as a single heart entry beside white flowers, Bulgarian rose and ylang-ylang, with pink and black pepper above.

The brand lets tobacco leaf and pink pepper stand for the cigars and vanilla for the drinks, and by this stage the two read as one atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvenings are what this scent was made for: bars, dinners, a night out with music. It is warm rather than loud, so it carries well through the cooler months. Two or three sprays on the chest and wrists are enough for an eau de toilette, as rum and tobacco bloom with skin warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who enjoy dark, boozy scents with tobacco and vanilla, and who want atmosphere rather than clean freshness. It is listed as unisex. Think of late dinners, winter nights and cocktail bars more than a bright office morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand tells this memory with ingredients you can follow one by one: rum and vanilla bean for the drinks, tobacco leaf and pink pepper for the cigars. It also sets the scene somewhere specific, as the Replica idea asks. It came out in 2013, composed by Aliénor Massenet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it smell strongly of rum?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRum absolute sits at the centre of the heart, so it is a clear part of the scent, but lemon, vetiver, tobacco and vanilla surround it. The effect is a warm, boozy sweetness rather than a single drink note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a smoky scent?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA little. The smoke comes from tobacco leaf and styrax resin in the base, and the pepper adds a dry edge. It is a soft, cigar-lounge kind of smoke, rounded off by the vanilla bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat concentration is it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEau de toilette, which sits below a parfum in strength, in a 100 ml size. The resin and tobacco base still give it body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I wear it in summer?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt leans warm, so autumn and winter evenings suit it best. On a mild summer night indoors, in a bar or restaurant, it can still work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Margiela","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658635739288,"sku":"MMA-REPLICA-JAZZ-CLUB-EDT-100ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/1157\/8520\/files\/maison-margiela-replica-jazz-club-eau-de-toilette-100ml.webp?v=1791393121"}],"url":"https:\/\/nichegems.eu\/collections\/note-spices.oembed?page=3","provider":"NicheGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
