Vanilla, fresh mulled cider, a pepper mill, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger are some of your favorite aromas. Oriental fragrances are usually perceived as sexy and powerful because of the high doses of intriguing and pungent ingredients they contain (such as musk, sandalwood, and caramel).

Word to the wearer:
Oriental fragrances are forces to be reckoned with. While they're great for evening, during the day spray the scent only on your back, advises Cathleen Montrose of the fragrance-development company Firmenich, "As your back heats up against your chair, the fragrance will be released subtly."
