What is the difference between a fragrance note and a fragrance family?
A fragrance family describes the overall character of a perfume, such as fresh, floral, woody or oriental. A note is one element such as rose, amber, vanilla or apple. A perfume can contain several notes and still have a very different overall impression.
Why is a perfume shown under more than one note?
Many compositions combine several notes. A perfume may therefore contain both vanilla and musk, for example. This helps you explore the facets you enjoy.
Which perfumes will you find on a fragrance-note page?
You will find perfumes that include the selected fragrance note in their top, heart or base notes. This makes it easy to search for one note and see how differently it can work across a variety of compositions.
