Study Notes

Fragrance Matching

Perfume Families

  • Fragrances are categorized into families based on their scent profiles
  • The main perfume families are:
    • Floral (e.g., rose, jasmine)
    • Oriental (e.g., amber, vanilla)
    • Woody (e.g., cedarwood, sandalwood)
    • Fresh (e.g., citrus, green)
    • Fruity (e.g., strawberry, orange)
    • Chypre (e.g., bergamot, oakmoss)

Fragrance Wheels

  • A fragrance wheel is a circular diagram that displays the relationships between different fragrance families
  • The wheel is divided into six sections, each representing a perfume family
  • Fragrances are plotted on the wheel based on their scent profiles, with similar scents grouped together
  • The fragrance wheel is a tool used in fragrance matching to help identify compatible fragrances

Scent Profiles

  • A scent profile is the unique combination of top notes, middle notes, and base notes that characterize a fragrance
  • Top notes: the initial scent impression, often citrus or green
  • Middle notes: the main body of the fragrance, often floral or spicy
  • Base notes: the longest-lasting scent, often woody or oriental
  • Scent profiles are used in fragrance matching to identify compatible fragrances and predict how a fragrance will smell on an individual.
