These spices and vegetable notes will sweep the perfume industry

Lucas Sieuzac, senior perfumer of global perfume company Eurofragrance, predicted that the two types of fragrances, vegetables and fresh spices, will set off a wave in the perfume industry in the next few years, creating a coveted and brisk atmosphere for wearers.

Sieuzac said that spices have been used in perfumes for hundreds of years and have been highly prized, with a history dating back to the mysterious period of ancient Egypt. In the modern perfume industry, spices have also appeared in many classic perfumes, such as the "Old Spice" which mainly featured nutmeg, bell pepper and cinnamon in 1937, and the "Opium" which used cloves and cinnamon in 1977. , 2006 "Terre d'Hermès" male fragrance with black, pink pepper and cinnamon. These perfumes became famous in their respective eras and are still very popular today.

Sieuzac believes that in the years to come, spices will continue to play an important role in the modern perfume industry.

"The trend now is that spices are going to be, or are already a trend. So, companies and perfumers are creating new spices, which you should see in two years."

Regarding how perfumers use spices, Sieuzac revealed that they divide spices into two families: fresh and warm. The family of fresh spices includes black, white, pink pepper, turmeric, ginger and cardamom, while the family of warm spices includes nutmeg, cinnamon, saffron and clove. With the upgrading of extraction technology, these fragrances can be applied to perfumes in a "near-nature" complete way.

When asked how this spice trend will evolve in the perfume industry in the next few years, Sieuzac said that the future of perfume blending will revolve around the family of fresh fragrances in spices.

"In my opinion, freshness is the key... freshness brought by cardamom, pepper, pepper, and ginger." He pointed out that modern craftsmanship and technology can cleanly extract these spices, thus bringing a kind of fragrance to the finished perfume "New freshness".

 Sieuzac showed four simple fragrance formulas that took three years to create. In addition to leather, sandalwood and turmeric, each one contains fresh and spicy notes. "I want to create something that is really easy to understand, super artistic and conceptual... I want something that is very obvious."

 In addition to the fresh spices, Sieuzac is also devoted to the study of vegetable fragrances and plans to use them in perfumes for the next few years.

 "Vegetables will become a trend in the next few years because we use fruits, flowers, spices and wood, but we have never used vegetables in perfumes in large quantities. The crisp, mouth-watering sensory characteristics of vegetables are very special ."
