Fragrances are a contained universe, to talk
about them is far more intricate than to say something smells good or bad. As
with many other things the fragrance universe has rules, categories, and many
other things to take into consideration when choosing aromas.
We have discussed a lot about the importance of
smell in our lives, this is why choosing a fragrance is an important activity,
and it’s one of the factors that we use to decide if we like someone or not
when we first meet them.
A fragrance wheel is a tool that groups the
main notes in which aromas are divided according to similarities and
differences between them. There are four standard families: Floral, oriental,
woody and fresh these divide into three sub-groups each. The sub-groups are:
1. Floral: this group includes aromas of
fresh-cut flowers.
2. Soft floral: we can find aldehyde and
powdery notes in this group.
3. Floral Oriental: Main notes include orange
blossom and sweet spices.
4. Soft Oriental: Incense and amber are the
main notes.
5.Oriental: Resins such as frankincense, and
vanilla fall into this category.
6. Woody Oriental: Sandalwood and patchouli are
the main examples of this group's notes.
7. Woods:
Aromatic woods such as pine and vetiver form this group.
8. Mossy Woods: This category is the
combination of the woody and oriental families, main notes include oakmoss and
amber.
9. Dry Woods: Main notes include dry woods and leather.
10. Aromatic Fougère: This group is universal
because it includes elements from all families, main notes include lavender and
aromatic herbs.
11. Citrus: Main notes include bergamot and
other citrus oils.
12. Fruity: Main notes include berries and
other non-citrus fruits.
13. Green: Green notes are the star of this
group.
14. Water: This family includes marine and
aquatic scents.
As you can see, fragrances are an interesting
topic for friendly gatherings as not many people are familiar with the many
types and categories of aromas that exist and their effect in our mood.
