Fragrance Families

Fragrance Families

Fragrance families are a way of categorizing different types of perfumes based on their dominant scent characteristics. There are five primary fragrance families:

  • Floral: feature the scents of freshly picked flowers, including rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley. These fragrances are often considered light and feminine, and are popular choices for daytime wear.

  • Oriental: warm, rich, and spicy, often featuring notes of vanilla, musk, and amber. They are considered more exotic and sensual than other fragrance families, and are often worn for evening occasions.

  • Woody: earthy and natural, featuring scents like sandalwood, cedar, and oakmoss. These fragrances are often considered unisex, and are a popular choice for both men and women.

  • Fresh: light and airy, featuring scents like citrus, green tea, and ocean breezes. These fragrances are often associated with a clean, refreshing feeling, and are popular choices for daytime wear.

  • Fougère: a combination of fresh and woody scents, featuring notes of lavender, citrus, and oakmoss. These fragrances are often considered classic and timeless, and are popular choices for men's cologne.
