Welcome to the fascinating world of perfumes! Today, we'll explore the different olfactory families and give you tips on how to better appreciate them. Whether you're a perfume enthusiast or simply curious, this post is for you.
Olfactory Families: A Captivating Diversity
The world of perfumes is a veritable kaleidoscope of scents, each unique and captivating. The main olfactory families include floral, woody, fruity, oriental, and gourmand. Each family has its own characteristics and evokes different emotions.
Floral fragrances, for example, transport us to a blooming garden, with notes of rose, jasmine, or orange blossom. Woody fragrances, on the other hand, immerse us in a lush forest, with notes of cedar, sandalwood, or vetiver. Oriental fragrances, as their name suggests, take us on a journey to an oriental bazaar, with notes of cinnamon, pepper, ginger, or even oud.
How to Appreciate Different Olfactory Families?
To better appreciate fragrances, it's important to take the time to discover them. Start by smelling each olfactory family separately to grasp its nuances. Note the top, middle, and base notes, which reveal themselves over time.
Olfactory family blends are also very popular in perfumery! Combine notes from different olfactory families to create unique accords. For example, a floral fragrance with a woody touch or an oriental fragrance enhanced with a fruity note, like Oud Maison, inspired by Oud Maracuja from Maison Crivelli, a fruity oriental fragrance with Oud and Passion Fruit as its main notes.
