Wine

Wine in fragrance captures the extraordinary sensory complexity of aged wine: the fruit (berries, dried fruit, grape), the terroir (mineral, earthy, slightly fermented), the oak (vanilla, wood, smoke), and the alcohol (warmth, radiance, slight acidity). It is an accord that sits between the fruity and oriental families, with elements of earthiness and sophistication that make it distinctively interesting.

Wine note fragrances have been explored by perfumers from CK (Euphoria) to Juliette Has a Gun (Lady Vengeance), appreciating how the complexity of actual wine translates into surprisingly wearable perfume territory. Red wine accords tend toward rich, dark, berry-laden depth. White wine accords lean crispier and more mineral. Rose wine in fragrance is floral, fruity, and contemporary.

Wine accord pairs well with fruity, rose, earthy, and tobacco notes. Fans of wine fragrances often love tobacco, rum, fruity, and oriental accord families.
