When you discover a scent, it is inevitable that it provokes some sensation or reminds you of someone. A fragrance evokes moments, places, people, or so many sensations that it is impossible for you to describe what it suggests to you.
That is why today we start explaining which are our olfactory families and which fragrances belong to each of them. So, the next time you choose a fragrance, you will have a very clear idea of what sensation you want to leave on whoever senses your essence.
What are olfactory families?
The classification of fragrances by olfactory family was proposed by perfumers in the 20th century, with the aim of being able to classify (or at least try) the great multitude of aromas that exist in the world of perfumery. Thus, it is much easier to get an idea of what a fragrance smells like and which ones may be similar to it, something tremendously useful for the user.
Nowadays there is no single universally accepted classification, since this world is full of nuances and often it is very complicated to classify a fragrance within a single family, but it is indeed a very valuable and approximate guide.
