The World’s Most Beloved Fragrance Notes – Part 2: Culture, Significance, and Highlights
A perfume is much more than a mere scent. It is a story resonating in every nuance and note—a narrative of cultures, memories, and sensuality. These stories are often inseparably connected with the fragrance notes used, their meanings deeply rooted in history. Georg R. Wuchsa, the founder and heart of scent amor, knows: every ingredient, be it vanilla, amber, patchouli, or rose, carries not just its scent but its legend and emotion.
The Significance of the Rose: Queen of Flowers, Symbol of Love
Few flowers are as rich in symbolism as the rose. For centuries, it has stood for love, beauty, and sensuality. Its soft elegance is a symbol of hospitality and spiritual purity in many cultures. This universal language is also spoken by the fragrance Delina by Parfums de Marly, blending the classic beauty of the rose with a modern fruity-floral accord. Each drop of this perfume tells a story of grace and seduction.
Jasmine: The Queen of Night Flowers
Jasmine unfolds its seductive intensity especially at night. Its scent, representing purity, sensuality, and passion in many cultures, gives perfumes a lush, almost hypnotic aura. In compositions like Riad Jasmine by Azman Perfumes, the magic of jasmine is captured—a fragrance that brings the mystery of the night flower to the skin.
Patchouli: Earthy Depth and Mystical Charm
Patchouli, with its distinctive earthy and mossy depth, was once a hallmark of luxury and later a symbol of the counterculture of the 1960s. Yet this scent has long proven its timelessness. In Patchouli Nosy Be by Perris Monte Carlo, earthy patchouli aromas blend with soft sandalwood and sweet amber into a modern, powerful statement.

Amber: The Golden Resin of Sensuality
Amber is a composition of warm resins, vanilla, musk, and oriental spices—a symbol of depth and opulent warmth. AMBRÉ by Kintsugi Perfumes combines these elements into a fragrance that envelops the skin like liquid sunshine, conveying a feeling of luxury and comfort.
Sandalwood: The Sacred Wood of Calm
Sandalwood is a symbol of calm and meditative depth in perfumery. Its creamy-soft aroma with a slightly sweet note soothes the senses and lends fragrances a gentle elegance. SANTAL by Kintsugi Perfumes reinterprets this precious note by blending the warm softness of sandalwood with spicy accents like cardamom and leather.
