12 emblematic spices essences to smell.

Spices are an invitation to both an olfactory voyage and to time travel. Humanity’s first currency, they inspired lust and greed in the age of the great sea-going expeditions. Like nuggets of olfactory gold, they have always been prized in perfumery, from ancient times to the present. Warm or cool, hot or sweet, spices can have starring roles in olfactory compositions, but are more often used sparingly, for a touch of texture or personality in fragrant creations. Combining subtle elegance, fresh vibrations and enveloping warmth, spices generate a broad palette of sensations that won’t leave anyone indifferent.
