Understanding perfumes and Olfactive families
Unlocking the art of fragrance
What is perfume?
A perfume is a delicate composition of natural essences, synthetic compounds, and organic ingredients that come together to create sensations for the sense of smell. Each ingredient contributes to a complex and evolving aromatic experience, expressed in phases: the fresh and fleeting top notes, the rich and defining heart notes, and the deep, lasting base notes. Together, these elements form a balanced and harmonious fragrance.
How perfume and Olfactive families connect
To truly appreciate a perfume, it helps to understand its olfactive family. Olfactive families categorize fragrances by their dominant characteristics, simplifying the exploration of the vast world of scents. Each family represents a distinct personality and mood, making it easier to find the perfect fragrance for any preference or occasion.
