When shopping online, reading the description sometimes just isn't enough, especially when it comes to fragrance. So we thought what better way to help you when choosing one of our products, than to create a page which breaks down the four main scent families.
​
You will notice that some of our scents overlap categories, this is because each family consists of a prominent scent, while subfamilies are blended versions of these fragrances.
This fragrance classification system was developed by expert Michael Edwards.
Oriental
Warm, rich and even a little spicy. This luxurious scent family is full of opulent and heady notes usually softened with Amber and sweeter notes. Scents in this family can vary from floral oriental to woody oriental.
Woody
Warm with a mysterious and captivating scent. You will find these scents tend to include Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Vetiver sometimes mixed with softer fresh or floral notes like Patchouli and Rose.
Fresh
Vibrant and refreshing, this family encompasses clean bright fragrances of citrus, fruity, water and green notes. Aromatic, tart notes are also often found mixed with zesty or fruity scents.
Floral
​
These can range from light and delicate to more complex and intense scents. This family is one of the most popular in the fragrance world. Notes that are usually found amongst them are Rose, Jasmine, Neroli and Lily.
