Fragrance Families

Fragrance Families

Experts usually describe fragrances by the key ingredients that are noticed when you smell the fragrance on the skin. The fragrance families below explain what makes a fragrance fit as well as what you're telling the world when you wear your fragrance.

Floral / Single Floral

These fragrances are constructed with a particular flower, or are a mixture of floral scents. Have you ever smelled someone and felt like you were in a rose garden? That's a perfect example of someone wearing a floral fragrance. When you wear a floral fragrance, you tell the world you're innocent, friendly and sweet. Florals are great for getting together with family and friends; they're also good for job interviews. Shopping for a gift for a teen? The florals provide a safe, appropriate choice. Lavender, rose and lilac are sweet, simple fragrances that will make a girl think she is lost in a beautiful garden. Giving her a floral fragrance is like giving her a fairy tale that she can be part of whenever she wants. 

Amber-y

These fragrances feature scents of vanilla and certain animal scents. They smell warm, inviting and exotic - perfect for a night out on the town or even on a date when you want to seem mysterious. Amber-y scents reach deep and often have a lot going on with different fragrances meshing into one overall fragrance. An amber-y scent says "there's more to me than meets the eye.” Feeling mysterious? An amber-y fragrance will let your inner diva run wild.

Woodsy

Fragrances may feature woods, such as cedar, sandalwood and more exotic types, like oud and ebony. The woodsy scents are described as "crisp" and “natural.” Perfect for school or the office, woodsy scents smell great without creating a distraction.

Leather

Leather fragrances are created with ingredients like honey, tobacco and resinous materials. The deep smell tells people you’re smart, deep and sexy. It's a powerful fragrance for powerful minds.

Chypre

Fragrances featuring bergamot, oak moss, patchouli and labdanum embody your sexy side, and should be worn with care. If you wear it out, be prepared to get asked for your number all night. Wear it on a date with your guy or a night out with the girls. Chypre scents are for sultry, bold women who embrace life.
