Fragrance Families
All fragrances are classified into olfactory families. These families are widely used in perfumery, aromatherapy and herbal medicine. Perfumes rarely belong to a single family, sometimes two or three family names are combined e.g oriental woody, floral fruity, floral aquatic. All of our fragrances are listed below in their respective olfactory family classification, each family is sorted by bestseller.
Becoming acquainted with a few familiar fragrances in each family will give you a much better understanding of:
- How fragrances are scientifically categorized
- What your fragrance types are (and possibly why)
