Glossary of the Top, Middle and Base Notes for Midnight Reserve

Description:

Citrus, floral, spicy, dry, aldehydic, fruity

Olfactive Profile:

With its citrus, green, floral, and solar notes, Bergamot is reminiscent of the warm Mediterranean sun. Aromatic floral tones enrich the energizing citrus freshness of Bergamot and brings a sweet freshness to a fragrance.

Facts:

The fruit is a cross between the pear lemon and the Seville orange or grapefruit. While Bergamot is a key ingredient in modern perfumery, growers still respect ancestral methods, and harvesting is done by hand. The name is derived from the city of Bergamot in Lombardy, Italy, where the oil was first sold.

Description:

Aromatic, bright, citrus, lemon, lime, green, vetiver, patchouli

Olfactive Profile:

Strong, earthy, herbaceous and green that can be very tenacious

Facts:

Hemp has the strongest and longest plant fiber in existence, and is one of the fast growing biomasses in the world. It can be grown without the use of pesticides, captures large amounts of carbon, and is adept at removing toxins from the soil its planted in. It’s no wonder that hemp has been grown for at least 8,000 years!

Description:

Spicy, fresh, smoky, woody

Olfactive Profile:

Peppercorn is spicy, smoky, and woody. It brings fresh, zingy tones to fragrances and is a great way to add interest to floral or fruity compositions.

Facts:

Peppercorns are the fruit of a vine that belongs to the Piperaceae family. Green peppercorns are unripe, while black peppercorns are cooked and dried. White peppercorns come from mature fruit with the skin removed. Red peppercorns are rare and come from fully mature fruit.

Description:

Gourmand, woody, liquorous, fruity

Olfactive Profile:

Woody and ambery, rum brings a charismatic alcohol note with fruity, oak wood, and bourbon vanilla accents.

Facts:

Rum is a spirit obtained from sugar cane fermentation and is believed to have first appeared either in India or China.

Description:

woody, camphorated, green, earthy, mossy, balsamic, powdery

Olfactive Profile:

Patchouli’s aroma is woody, earthy, and slightly sweet with powdery undertones.

Facts:

Patchouli is native to tropical Asia, where it is widely cultivated and has been used for centuries for its essential oil.

Description:

Woody, creamy, sweet, balsamic, cedar, warm, spicy

Olfactive Profile:

Sandalwood has a rich wood tonality with soft, creamy, and sweet accents. Its creamy and woody character brings roundness and sensuality to fragrance blends.

Facts:

The earliest records of sandalwood in Ayurvedic texts are estimated to date back as far as 500 BCE, making sandalwood oil one of the most ancient fragrance ingredients still used today.

Description:

Woody, earthy, aromatic, natural, smoky, velvety

Olfactive Profile:

Leather has a smoky, velvety, and woody scent that adds a warm “second skin” effect to fragrances.

Facts:

We can actually attribute many qualities of leather’s scent to the perfumery materials used during the tanning process. Woods like cedar and birch, smoky resins like styrax and labdanum, and patchouli and vetiver were often used to turn the unpleasant scent of freshly tanned natural leather into a more agreeable aroma.
