4 -Oud
One of the most expensive perfume ingredients that you may come across is Oud or better known as liquid gold. Oud as an ingredient can either be loved passionately or hated profusely. It is a very strong scent with both bittersweet and woody layers. Found in the Agar tree, it is the resin that is produced as a reaction after the tree is infected by mold. The intense smell profile of Oud is why any perfumer must make cautious use of this perfume ingredient especially in perfumes for men wherein it is most commonly found.
5 – Musk
Naturally harvested from the glands of the majestic musk deer, the musk perfume ingredient is made from a mix of synthetic and natural ingredients. Musk can be regarded as the most tricky fragrance in perfumery because it is pungent, sexy, and sensual. It is also one of the most long-lasting perfume ingredients which are also what makes LeFlorentine’s Classic Woman perfume a tricky one with the base notes of amber, musk, mahogany and redwood.
6 – Patchouli
Another woody smell from an exotic Indian bush is – Patchouli. Patchouli tends to smell more earthy, dark, and green. The extraction of Patchouli is very intricate and skilled, when rightly extracted, a single drop can deliver earthy and herbaceous smells lasting over a month. It harmonizes perfectly with fruity tones and suits a wedding trousseau perfectly.

Similar to the musky ingredients in perfumes, leathery ingredients have a strong raw, synthetic, and nostalgic smell. It is not usually a natural scent and is artificially created using a mixture of flowers, birch tar, juniper and other aldehydes and synthetics. They usually take the face of smoky, burnt, tobacco shades and skin type of scent which is pleasant and rich.
