Vanilla, resigns such as myrrh, frankincense, warm and powdery notes make up the comforting oriental family. This base note family is sweet, powdery and warm. It’s almost gourmand like and the most sensual note of them all, but it should not be confused with the edible family which borrows much more from the smell of cake and sugar. With a heavily eastern influence, it’s composition hasn’t shifted much since the days of its first creation. Oriental fragrances tend to be worn as evening fragrances due to their long-lasting, dark and seductive qualities.
