Immortelle is a yellow-floral note with a dry, herbaceous character and warm, honeyed sweetness. Its hay-like, slightly curry-like facet gives perfume an earthy, bittersweet edge, while a soft balsamic quality adds richness as it develops. In men’s fragrances, it provides personality without the overtly fresh effect of citrus or the weight of dense woods. It is commonly used through the heart and into the dry-down, where its warmth remains noticeable.
Perfumers pair immortelle with cedar, sandalwood, leather, amber, vanilla and spices to create different effects: dry and woody, smoky and leathery, or rounded and gourmand. Look here if you enjoy men’s scents with an aromatic floral core, warm texture and a more unusual alternative to straightforward sweetness.
