The different categories of perfumes
A fragrance can be thought of as an invisible imprint, a unique olfactory trace that influences our emotions and interactions with the world around us. Thus, choosing a fragrance is an individual and intimate matter. That is why there is a wide range of fragrance categories that cater to multiple needs and preferences. In this article, we will explore the four main fragrance categories: floral fragrances, woody fragrances, oriental fragrances, and fresh fragrances.
Floral fragrances
Floral perfumes are one of the most popular types because they evoke romance and elegance. They are often composed of notes like rose, jasmine, or orange blossom. These perfumes are ideal for those who appreciate the softness and femininity of flowers in general.
Woody fragrances
Woody fragrances, like Parfums de Grasse , are known for their robust, earthy notes, such as patchouli, cedar, or sandalwood. They evoke a dense, serene forest. For those who enjoy natural and slightly mystical scents, woody fragrances are a great option.
Oriental perfumes
Oriental fragrances are typically rich and bold, combining warm and spicy notes like amber, musk, vanilla and patchouli. These luxurious and intoxicating scents can be perfect for evenings or special occasions.
Fresh fragrances
Finally, fresh fragrances are often associated with citrus, mint or fresh herbal scents. They evoke cleanliness, energy and liveliness. This is the ideal choice for those who prefer a light and invigorating fragrance.
Whether you are a fan of romantic floral notes, woody depths, spicy warmth or invigorating freshness, there is certainly a fragrance designed especially for you. Take the time to explore these different categories, test them out, and find your unique olfactory signature.

Description of the scent
Imagine the first morning mist delicately settling on the leaves of a tea plant. This sweet and fresh fragrance is our Biodegradable Green Tea Perfume Extract .

How to choose the right perfume
Choosing the right perfume can seem like a daunting task. With so many variations available on the market, it can quickly become overwhelming. However, once you have a clear understanding of your preferences and what ‘fragrance notes’ mean, the process becomes much easier and more enjoyable.
Identifying your preferences
Before you venture into the enchanting world of fragrances, it’s essential to identify what you like. Each of us has unique preferences when it comes to fragrances. Some may lean toward fresh, invigorating scents, while others may prefer softer, more subtle scents. Here are a few things to consider:
- Perfumes you previously loved or hated.
- The perfumes that your friends or family members wear and that you like.
- The scents of nature or your daily environment that attract you.
Skin test
Never, ever, ever decide on a fragrance based on just smelling it from the bottle or a scent strip. Your skin has its own unique chemistry and reacts differently to each fragrance. What may smell good on someone else may not necessarily smell the same on you. Remember to:
- Apply the perfume to your wrist or the inner part of your elbow where the skin is thinner and warmer.
- Let the fragrance sit for about an hour to see how it evolves on your skin.
- Do not rub the perfume, as this can alter the molecules and change the scent of the perfume.
Understanding Perfume Notes
Knowledge of 'perfume notes' is essential to decoding the complex world of perfumes. A perfume is generally made up of three types of notes:
- Top notes: These are the first to be perceived after the perfume is sprayed. They are generally fresh and light.
- Heart notes: These appear when the top notes begin to dissipate. They are generally richer and define the character of the perfume.
- Base notes: These are the last to appear and give depth to the fragrance.
With these points in mind, you'll be well equipped to navigate the world of fragrances and find the perfect scent that's right for you.
How to store your perfumes
The fragrance you wear can say a lot about you and can even become your personal signature. That's why it's crucial to know how to store your perfumes to maintain their freshness and intensity. In this section, we'll explain how to store your perfumes properly and how to determine their shelf life.
Storage location
Where you store your perfumes is of great importance to their longevity. Here are some great tips to help you keep your perfumes in perfect condition:
- Avoid humid places : Perfumes do not like humidity. So avoid storing them in your bathroom. Instead, choose a dry place like your bedroom.
- Protect from light : Light, especially direct sunlight, can alter the composition of your perfume, so it is best to keep them in their original boxes or in a dark drawer.
- Store at room temperature : Large temperature variations can affect the quality of your perfume. It is therefore advisable to store them at a stable temperature, away from heat sources.
“A well-preserved perfume is a perfume that stays with you longer.”
Shelf life
The shelf life of a perfume depends on many factors, including the quality of its ingredients, its packaging, and storage conditions. In general, a well-preserved perfume can retain its original fragrance for 3 to 5 years. However, it is important to note that changes in color or odor can be a sign that a perfume is degrading.
Also, remember to close the bottle tightly after each use to prevent evaporation and oxidation. By following these tips, you will ensure your perfumes have a maximum lifespan, while preserving their very special scent.
In short, preserving your perfumes only requires a few simple precautions. By taking the time to store them correctly, you can extend their life and enjoy their unique fragrance for years to come.
