Perfumes - A Quick Guide to Oriental Fragrances
By Jayne Fairclough

Oriental perfumes are a combination of rich, spicy, yet sweet notes usually with a base in amber or vanilla and perfect for an autumn night. The mere word oriental makes us think of the mysterious east with exotically veiled women, sensual, but sweet. This type of perfume is more suitable to be used in the evening and generally liked by both men and women for their heady fragrance of musk, spices and resins.

Some of the more famous and popular oriental perfumes are Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, Poison by Christian Dior and Shalimar by Guerlain preferred by women for their mysterious and alluring qualities. These scents in particular are instantly recognizable on the wearer.

Spicy perfumes with their strong scented blends and rich musky flowers also fall into the Oriental category and include some very fragrant and rich scents that can be worn by a woman with any time of the day.
