Hi there, I am here to tell you that fragrance families categorize scents based on their dominant characteristics. There are several main fragrance families, including Floral, Woody, Oriental and Fresh. Each family has its different characteristics and ingredients that make them unique.
For example- the floral family includes scents like rose, jasmine, and lily, giving off a fresh and feminine vibe. Oriental fragrances are rich and exotic, often containing notes like vanilla, amber and spices. Woody fragrances are warm and earthy with sandalwood, cedar and patchouli.
Fresh fragrances are clean and invigorating featuring citrus, green and aquatic notes. And, several other families include mix of fresh and woody, typically lavender, Okemos, and coumarin.
You can always choose a fragrance based on the preferred family with your own unique blend of ingredients.
