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.
