MOSSY: odors of different kinds of tree mosses (especially oak moss) play an important part in nearly all perfume types. They are of special significance in the chypre notes. Mossy nuances are very complex and can have, besides the basic moss element, algae-like, leathery, woody and other characteristics.

Their especially good fixing qualities, as well as their ability to give fragrances substance and depth, make them indispensable.

MASCULINE: as well as feminine, in the perfume sense, are subjective fragrance impressions. Normally, the term "masculine" is applied to fragrance favored by men. These contain dry notes of tobacco, spices, mosses and woods. They are generally less floral than feminine perfumes, and often contain a high percentage of fresh ingredients.

In the past few years, masculine and feminine notes have come closer and closer together.

HEAVY: Fragrances in which the least-volatile ingredients such as mosses and animal notes dominate are called heavy perfumes. Since these ingredients are part of the top note, a heavy perfume can be identified as such at first impact. Heavy substances are used predominantly in chypre notes.

DRY: is the term for the odor-effect, the reverse of "sweet" or "warm", achieved through the use of ingredients such as woods, mosses, herbs and so on. Dry notes are used mainly in masculine perfumes and are particularly useful as fresh, day time fragrances.
