What are fragrance oils?

As we mentioned before, some “nose” experts consider four basic categories of fragrances for women - FRESH - with citrus, green leaves, or marine notes scents - FLORAL - has Jasmine, Rose, and white flowers scents - ORIENTAL - with spice scents, vanilla, and Patchouli - WOODY -with warm woods, citrus, and moss – derived from their respective fragrance oils.

Men fragrances do not have floral or oriental tones (or at least they are not called such), and the categories are FRESH (same tones like women's), AROMATIC (citrus, lavender, geranium), and WOODY (Vetiver, Agarwood, Cedar).

Other experts use a broader spectrum of base scents – Floral, Chypre, Fougere, Marine, Oriental, Citrus, and Green. Let’s see what they mean.

Floral fragrance oils cover the vast majority of perfumes. They vary from pure, specific flower scent – to multi bouquets with various ingredients. Most used scents are jasmine, gardenia, rose, lilies, lilac and lavender. Brand names like White Shoulders, White Diamonds, Chloe, J’Adore – are some of the most popular. We can further break down the floral fragrances in even more targeted categories:

Floral Green – with tones of freshly cut grass, leaves, lavender, and chamomile present in names like Chanel 19, Green Tea, Jessica McClintock, Tommy Girl, and Cabotine.

Floral Fresh – with tones of fresh spring orange blossom and lilies, citrus and bergamot evident in Anais Anais, So Pretty, Cashmere Mist, Destiny, Noa, and So De La Renta.
