THE LANGUAGE OF MATERIALS

THE OLFACTORY ENCYCLOPAEDIA

Perfume is never merely a list of ingredients. Explore the notes, materials and accords that shape the olfactory world of Anomalia Paris.

An olfactory note does not necessarily mean that the named natural ingredient is present in a formula. Some impressions are created by accords. This is an olfactory glossary, not a disclosure of proprietary formulas or a substitute for the INCI label.
