Choosing your natural perfume: understanding olfactory families

Not everyone can be a master perfumer. Even if you have a good nose, it's difficult to navigate the heady, fragrant essences that perfumeries produce. However, it is possible to distinguish between scents to guide your choice based on olfactory families. E

Between the acidity of citrus fruits, the freshness of floral waters, or the sweetness of fruity fragrances, my heart is torn... Each family corresponds to a personality trait that takes precedence over your inner self. Zoom in on these olfactory families.

Fresh and dynamic: I opt for aromatic fragrances

Each season, aromatic fragrances breathe a breath of fresh air onto your skin. Used since the dawn of time, herbs have conquered our plates and our beauty routines in green territory.

Sage, thyme, rosemary or basil , the aromatic notes tickle our nostrils with tonic, vegetal and aniseed nuances. Aromatic perfumes cultivate soft, fresh and invigorating fragrances , ideal for escaping with a spritz into a wild garden exulting in spring scents. With aromatic heart notes composed of lemon, menthol, anise and slightly camphor and more spicy base notes, these essences can surprise and titillate your sense of smell.

These captivating and natural fragrances infuse your ritual with sensuality. They're especially recommended for dynamic women and working girls who want to clear their minds at home. Adopting aromatic fragrances means escaping to summer time in any circumstance. What else?

Light and sparkling: I rely on citrus fragrances

Head for the citrus orchards in Berber lands... The opportunity to travel to the foot of the mountains of Morocco and awaken our senses with tangy scents that cultivate lemon peel, grapefruit or even bergamot .

In this family that smells of citrus fruits, we distinguish:

• chypre floral citrus with floral heart notes such as jasmine, honeysuckle or lily of the valley, and rather woody base notes;
• aromatic citrus fruits with lavender, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and even mint;
• woody citrus notes with a more present woody or powdery base note, with sandalwood, oak, patchouli or mimosa.
• More recently, the waves have conquered these perfumes with aquatic citrus fruits which give your skin a living water effect.

This olfactory family brightens up your routine with just a few spritzes, bringing a touch of freshness, dynamism, and joie de vivre. Calling all femme fatales who oscillate between lightness and fiery temperament, these fragrances are for you.

Elegant and assertive: I adopt oriental perfumes

Behind this little-known olfactory family, fragrances that stand out and challenge... Voluptuous and captivating, they leave an intoxicating veil in their wake. Originally, oriental perfume was composed of a certain number of ingredients: patchouli, oakmoss, cistus-labdanum, a touch of bergamot to which fruitier and more aromatic scents were added to make them more accessible. These particularly elegant and unique fragrances are aimed at those with a strong temperament. For all those who are not afraid to embrace their femininity and sensuality, chypre perfumes are made for you.

On the other hand, discreet personalities should put down the bottle and opt for more intimate fragrances. Opt for floral orientals that have softer notes like rose, violet, or vanilla, combined with attractive scents like musk or sandalwood.

Sensitive and feminine: I choose the floral fragrance

The star of fragrances, flowers are undoubtedly the star ingredient of floral perfumes. These plant-based waters reconnect with nature and draw their inspiration from budding scents.

These perfumes come in two main families:

• soliflores, which have only a floral note, and
• floral bouquets, which harmonize several.

To enjoy its scents as much as possible and to ensure they don't evaporate after a few minutes, they are often incorporated as a heart note, with sandalwood as a base note to make them last. Among these exceptional perfumes that reconnect with flowering gardens, we find a soft and fresh floral base like the rose-violet duo but also lily of the valley , jasmine or even tuberose .

Natural and grounded: I match woody scents

You might think this family is aimed at men. Not so! Women should also give in to these characterful, raw, and elegant fragrances. Woody notes are often used in all perfumes, as a base note to structure the scent. But in woody perfumes, it is highlighted to dominate the olfactory ensemble. Wood then becomes more than ever the centerpiece of the perfume and gives it a strong and powerful power. Cedar, patchouli, and sandalwood rub shoulders with aromas in explosive and warm fragrances. While woody perfumes are not suitable for all women, they are perfect for those who want to play the Amazon and stand out. They bring a romantic touch, while remaining sophisticated.
