Sillage - This is a term that is used to describe to the trail of the perfume scents that are left behind when a perfume is applied. Fragrances that have a minimal amount of sillage are regarded as capable of remaining close to the skin.

Tilleul - This is a French word that is used to describe Linden. Also known as lime blossom, this is a flower that comes from the Linden tree.
Tolu - This is also regarded as the Balsam of Tolu. It is a tree resin that comes from South America. When it is dried, this tree resin is said to produce a strong aroma that has elements both of cinnamon and vanilla. Tolu is also used sometimes to make cough syrup. It is closely related in terms of tree species to the Balsam of Peru as well.
Tonka Bean - This is a pod the size of a thumb that comes from a plant that is native to Brazil. The Tonka bean is said to have a scent that resembles vanilla though it also has strong hints of almonds, cloves and cinnamon. Tonka bean pods are cheaper in general than vanilla pods, and so sometimes they are used as a substitute for Vanilla, especially outside of the United States. You can reference Coumarin for more information.
Vanilla - This is derived from a seed pod that comes from the vanilla orchid. The vanilla orchid is a type of flowering vine that is originally from Mexico, however most of today's modern day vanilla is actually sourced from Madagascar. The vanilla orchid's actual flower has no scent at all. There is a lot of hand processing that is required in order to create true vanilla, and so vanilla tends to be quite expensive in turn.
Vetiver - This is a grass that has heavy and fibrous roots that can be used to distill an oil with a rich, dense and earthy scent that features woody perfume scents. This grass is known to be used for erosion control in many countries as well.
Yuzu - This is a type of citrus fruit that is grown in Japan, appears like a smallish grapefruit and has a flavor that resembles the combination between a mandarin orange and a grapefruit.
