An accord evoking benzoin may feel vanillic, balsamic or powdery. It can contribute warmth without turning the perfume into a straightforward dessert scent.

Resinous notes are often used to round sharper woods or support an amber-style base. Their effect depends on the whole composition.

Notice whether the resulting fragrance feels soft, smoky or sweet. Only the actual ingredient declaration can tell you what a finished product contains.

A named material or scent impression does not guarantee any particular ingredient is present. Explore the character of the whole fragrance rather than making assumptions from one note. XASIS currently presents its Signature Five as fragrance design concepts in development; final notes, formula details and availability are confirmed only for finished products.
