spice

red chilli pepper

Dried red chillies smell of sun-dried fruit and a little smoke, with a sweet red-pepper note and a green sharpness that recalls the bell pepper, a close relative. Capsaicin, the source of the burn, barely evaporates, so a chilli note conveys fire as colour and a dry, reddish bite, most often as a flash in the top of spicy woods and ambers.

How this is calculated

Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.

Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
