Fresh, floral, woody or sensual and warm? Every fragrance has its own character. Fragrance families help to make sense of the diversity of perfumery and to discover new favourite scents.
Some compositions are reminiscent of a blossoming garden, others of clear sea air or a warm evening. What matters is the interplay of the individual notes. Fragrance families describe the direction a composition takes – without reducing its individuality to a single category.
Floral – flowery and multifaceted
Rose, jasmine, peony and orange blossom are among the classics of floral perfumes. Depending on the combination, they can feel light and playful, modern and clear, or opulent and expressive.
Fresh – full of lightness
Citrus fruits, green accords and aquatic notes stand for a fresh character. Bergamot, aromatic herbs or marine nuances give many compositions a lively, easy-going radiance.
Woody – elegant with depth
Sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli give fragrances structure and warmth. Woody compositions can be dry and striking or soft and creamy – regardless of the gender they are marketed for.
Amber – warm and sensual
Vanilla, resins, spices and amber accords often create an intense, soft effect. Combined with floral or woody facets, they result in multi-layered compositions.
Gourmand – inspired by moments of indulgence
Coffee, caramel, praline or vanilla evoke familiar moments of indulgence. Gourmand fragrances can be sweet and playful, but also surprisingly restrained and elegant.
One fragrance, many facets
Not every perfume clearly belongs to one family. Floral and woody notes can complement each other just as fresh and warm accords can. It is precisely these transitions that make modern fragrance creations so exciting.
