6. ? ? Patchouli. This is not your Phish-on-tour burnt patchouli scent. Think of it as a note in an elegant fragrance symphony. Loren explains its appeal: “It’s for men or women and has a rich woody quality that lingers forever in your memory.” One to try: Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere Black?($88), donnakaran.com

7. ? ? Vetiver. It’s easy to find this refined yet bold note in men’s fragrances, but it’s especially sensual in women’s. It’s a bold, charismatic statement that drips with sophisticated style. One to try: The Blend 02 Grassy Vetiver?($25), sephora.com

8. ? ? Muscenone. Musk is the quickest way to give the bare-skin vibe without actually taking off your clothes, and it’s timelessly sexy. One to try: C.O. Bigelow Perfume Oil in Musk ($15), bigelowchemists.com

9. Leather. Leather is inherently sexy. It’s the red lipstick of materials to drape yourself in, and the high heels of scent. One to try: Demeter Russian Leather ($20), demeterfragrance.com

10. ?Olibanum. “This incense conjures the night and the mystery of what might happen.” This resin is harvested from a specific tree and is related to the frankincense family of scents. It’s rich and deep, like your love should be. One to try: Lacoste Eau de Lacoste Pure White?$72, lacoste.com
