Choosing a perfume is much more than just a question of smelling nice. It’s a way of expressing your personality, your mood or even a season of your life. Yet, faced with the multitude of fragrances available, it’s easy to get lost. That’s where olfactory families come in: they structure the world of perfume and help you to better identify what attracts you. Whether you’re drawn to woody, floral or oriental scents, understanding olfactory families is a step towards finding the fragrance that really suits you.
The main olfactory families and their characteristics
Here’s an overview of the major olfactory families and what they evoke:
Floral: the most popular. It features floral scents (rose, jasmine, lily…). Perfect for a feminine, soft or romantic touch.
Woody: warm and elegant, with notes of cedar, sandalwood and vetiver. Ideal for lovers of depth and character.
Oriental: bewitching and sensual, often composed of vanilla, incense, amber or musk. Perfect for evening parties and assertive personalities.
Fougère: highly prized in men’s fragrances, it blends lavender, oakmoss and wood. A fresh, virile signature.
Hespéridée (or Citrus): fresh and dynamic, it revolves around citrus fruits such as lemon, bergamot and orange. Ideal for summer or a lively energy.
Aromatic: herbaceous and green, this family includes lavender, rosemary, thyme and others. Often found in fresh, invigorating fragrances.
Chypre: sophisticated and complex, often based on accords of oakmoss, patchouli, bergamot and rose.
Knowing these families helps you refine your choices and understand why certain fragrances appeal to you… or repel you.
Finding your olfactory family means discovering a world that speaks to you, that inspires you and accompanies you every day. Feel free to explore, test and, above all, listen to your emotions: the right fragrance will recognize you as much as you recognize it.
