A story of your own.
01 / DISCOVER YOUR PALETTE
Follow your curiosity.
Choose a family on the wheel.
Explore its notes on the right.
Neighbouring families share qualities. Explore across the wheel, too—contrast can be part of your idea.
Positions are a guide: a note can span stages. An accord describes a blended impression; an aroma material is a named perfumery ingredient. Notes may appear in more than one family.
02 / MAKE IT YOURS
Your fragrance direction 0 / 12
Choose what leads and what lingers. Main, Supporting and Accent describe your intended emphasis.
A LITTLE INSPIRATION
Where could this go?
Instant suggestions from curated note pairings.
03 / FROM NOTES TO NARRATIVE
Your story begins with a note.
Choose a few notes to see the direction they suggest.
An illustrative fragrance brief. Materials, proportions and trials determine the finished scent; this is not a mixing formula.
A few useful things to know
Families are styles.
The wheel helps you explore relationships between fragrance styles. Our note suggestions are an educational interpretation; a note can support several families.
The pyramid is a guide.
Top notes shape the first impression, heart notes develop the character, and base notes support the lingering impression. These stages overlap.
Notes are a shared language.
Rose, leather or pear describe a smell. A perfumer may use several materials to create that impression. Your choices form a brief for further development.
Less can be enough.
You can choose up to 12 notes, but you do not need to use every slot. A clear main theme with a few supporting ideas can be a useful place to start.
THE FINISHING TOUCH
Your inspiration. Refined by SKD.
Use this interactive wheel to experiment with fragrance notes and explore how they can complement one another. Your selections are a creative starting point, not a finished formula. During development, SKD refines and balances the blend, smoothing the transitions between notes to create a rounded, harmonious scent.
