Certain perfume materials are very good at one thing, that is, reminding of sex. They smell of nakedness, they smell musky like warm skin, they smell raw like adrenaline.
Although the genuine animalic notes (castoreum, deer musk, civet) are no longer in the perfumer’s palette (with an exception of ambergris and exotic hyraceum) there are close synthetic alternatives which still do the job. Frankincense can easily be worked into being warm and naughty. Finally there are heady flowers rich in indoles, the ultimate chemical when it comes to naughtiness.
