FAQ's
What is a spicy scent?
A spicy scent is characterised by warm, aromatic and slightly pungent notes that resemble the aroma of traditional spices and dried herbs. These scents can range from sweet and aromatic (like Cinnamon or Nutmeg) to sharp and invigorating (like Black Pepper or Ginger). Spicy aromas often add depth and richness to fragrance blends, making them popular in candles, soaps and seasonal diffuser creations.
What are some spicy essential oils?
Spicy essential oils are typically derived from the seeds, roots and leaves of aromatic plants and spices. Common examples include:
- Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil — Deep, woody and warmly spiced with sweet undertones.
- Clove Leaf Essential Oil — Strong, dry-spice aroma with a bold character.
- Ginger Essential Oil — Earthy, zesty and subtly warming.
- Black Pepper Essential Oil — Sharp and peppery with a dry, woody complexity.
- Nutmeg Essential Oil — Sweet, smooth spice with a soft, creamy finish.
- Aniseed Essential Oil — Distinctly sweet-spice fragrance reminiscent of licorice.
- Fennel Seed Essential Oil — Gentle, herbal spice with a mild sweetness.
These oils can be used individually or blended with citrus, woody or resinous oils.

Which essential oil has a smoky smell?
Several essential oils can have smoky or earthy undertones, though not all fall strictly within the “spicy” category. Among the spicy group, Clove Leaf and Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oils can carry a subtle smoky scent due to their naturally warm and woody composition.
Beyond this family, oils like Vetiver, Cedarwood and Frankincense are known for their smoky or resinous aromas, often used to add character and grounding depth to aromatic blends.
