Types of perfumes: Osmotic families
All perfumes are different. However, many of them have common features. For this reason, different types of perfumes are usually grouped into olfactory families. Thus they indicate the general characteristics of the perfumes that compose them.
The classification into perfume families is based on the dominant fragrances of the perfume. It's not an exact science, it varies depending on who does it.
Flowers
Most women's fragrances contain floral notes, and many men's fragrances also contain a floral touch. When flowers are the dominant fragrance, we say that the fragrance belongs to the flower family, the most popular in the world of perfumes. Flowers are easy to recognize just by smelling them.
The aromas of rose and jasmine are almost always present in a floral fragrance. Many times the fragrance also contains notes of other flowers, such as peony, gardenia, tuberose, lily of the valley, freesia, magnolia, geranium or mimosa.
The flower family is extensive and has many "subfamilies". There are fragrances in which a flower provides the dominant aroma and others in which many are mixed. Some contain a hint of fruit or spice and most complement the floral aroma with notes of wood, musk, amber or vanilla.
Fruity
Fruity scents have become very popular in recent years. In its composition, the notes of ripe fruits can be distinguished. Mango, ripe fig, peach, pear, apple, raspberry and other summer delicacies. These are usually complemented by floral scents and shades of wood, musk, amber or vanilla.
They are natural and bright and evoke youth, joy and appetite for life.
Green
It is the only family of perfumes associated with one color. When you smell a green scent, you can see almost freshly cut grass, dew-covered plant stems, crisp leaves, pine needles in the forest air. Some women consider green to be masculine. In harmony with woody and floral notes, they can also become a favorite for a woman looking for a fresh, optimistic and unobstructed scent.
The green aromas evoke a bright, energetic optimistic and irreverent character. They usually contain notes of pine, grass, petitgrain, mint, lily of the valley and especially galvanic, which brings freshness and also amazing depth.
Aromatic
Most of the perfumes of this family are male. The main chords focus on aromatic herbs. Lavender, geranium, basil, cumin, rosemary and sage. They are often complemented by woody notes. They sometimes include shades of moss, patchouli and balsamic notes, which add warmth to the composition.

Fougère family perfumes are very popular with men, although the first perfumes of this type were created for women. Most often, a Fougère contains lavender and oak moss. They also tend to have notes of geranium, vetiver, bergamot and coumarin.

Citrus
Citrus scents are usually suitable as unisex. Suitable for both men and women. Their compositions are based on lemon, orange, bergamot, grapefruit and mandarin and may also contain aromatic, floral and woody notes.
