Fresh, floral and woody: a guide to scent families
A simple map of fragrance
Scent families provide a simple map of a perfume collection. Fresh, floral and woody describe broad impressions, with many fragrances moving between them. The combination matters: a floral perfume with wood can feel quite different from one paired with vanilla.
Fresh and floral directions
Aqua 26 combines citrus with an aquatic direction and woody musk. LOC offers a marine and airy profile with a linen impression. For a floral comparison, G5 pairs rose with wood, while V5.2 brings together vanilla, floral notes and lemongrass.
Exploring warmer woods
Woody profiles introduce another dimension, from dry wood impressions to warmer combinations. OS-26 places oud alongside vanilla and musk. Identifying a favourite note and a less appealing one helps turn these broad families into a personal shortlist, making a conversation about fragrance more precise.
