Learning about fragrance families helps us understand what draws us to the scents we like. If you want to grow your perfume collection, becoming familiar with the fragrance families you gravitate most towards can simplify the process. Here is our handy breakdown of the four main fragrance families:
Floral Scents
The most popular fragrance family, Floral scents are romantic and charming, encompassing ingredients derived from flowers such as jasmine, roses, and peonies. This fragrance family is incredibly versatile, with the scent profile ranging anywhere between fresh and delicate to rich and musky, great for the warmer months.
Oriental Fragrances
Otherwise known as Amber, Oriental fragrances are known for their warm and alluring characteristics. Oriental perfumes often include ingredients such as musk, vanilla, and spices, which melt together to create a truly irresistible scent profile. Choose Oriental fragrances to add a level of depth to Winter soirées or as the finishing touch for any evening ensemble.
Woody Perfumes
Grounding and comforting, Woody fragrances are defined by a warm and earthy olfactory profile. They often contain ingredients found in trees, moss, and resins, giving off a smoky and engaging scent, perfect for Autumn.
Fresh Notes
An incredibly bright and uplifting fragrance family, Fresh fragrances are characterised by ingredients such as citrus fruits and herbs. Their zesty aroma makes them ideal for daytime events in Spring and Summer.
