A. A variety of spices are used in perfume, broadly divided into two types: hot spices and cold spices.

Hot Spices

Hot spices, also called warm spices, are spices that evoke an enveloping warmth. They include black pepper, clove, nutmeg (in Japanese), cinnamon, anise, and cumin.

Cold Spices

Cold spices are spices that evoke coolness or freshness. They include pink pepper, saffron, cardamom, ginger, coriander, and caraway.
These spices go well with leather and citrus scents.

Understand Spices to Find Your Fragrance

You may like spicy scents, only to discover that it is actually the spiciness of cold spices you enjoy. Once you identify the materials or fragrance families that your favorite perfumes have in common, learning more about them can make your own preferences clearer.
