How And Why Perfumes Are Clustered Addicted To Fragrance Families

August 18th, 2009

As daunting as exploring perfumes and fragrances may seem, any newcomer can pick up a basic knowledge of the categorization of perfumes, which will help her pick the one that best suits her.
Every person’s taste in fragrance varies. As a young woman matures into a woman, her tastes in fragrance will likely adult as well. A young woman who is passionate about the sparkling smell of floral perfumes may gradually grow to like the more powerful, deeper scent of woody or even musk perfumes.

Floral or sweet fragrances are the most popular category of fragrance. Floral fragrances have a light, playful quality to them, and are for a woman who likes to have a lighthearted air. Some noteworthy examples of floral fragrance are Chanel No. 22, Estee Lauder Pleasures and White Lineny, L’Air Du Temps by Nina Ricci, and Joy by Jean Patou.
Sporty or clean fragrances are named for their freshness, a class that generally akin to the smell of a warm shower or a good soap. Some classic sporty fragrances are Estee Lauder Alliage, Lily Chic by Escada, Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren Polo for Women and Tommy Girl.

The natural or green perfume family is so named for the homey, natural smells it provides. Examples of natural perfumes are Burrberry London, Calvin Klein Truth for Women, Poison by Christian Diro, and True Star by Tommy Hilfiger.
Musk fragrances are strongly suggestive and sexy. Musk fragrances give off the strongest aroma of all the fragrance families. Common musk perfumes are O Oui by Lancome, Shalimar by Guerlain, L’Aminant by Coty, and Dolce & Gabbana for Women.
Chypre or woody perfumes are sometimes also referred to as earthy. This family is made up of fragrances which contain bergamot, jasmine and oakmoss. Popular examples of chypre and woody perfumes are Chanel No. 19; Envy Me by Gucci, Paloma Picasso Perfume, and Romance by Ralph Lauren.

Oriental or spicy is used to describe the last perfume family. Some popular perfumes that are in the oriental family are Emeraude by Coty, Estee Lauder Youth Dew, Lancome’s Magic Noir and Tresor, and Opium by Yves Saint Laurent.
Now you know the essentials of how fragrances are categorized. Armed with this knowledge of the perfume families, head on down to the fragrance shop nearest you. Perfume oils, or the “juice” of fragrance composition, are diluted with a suitable solvent to make the cologne more usable. Dilutions of the fragrance oil can be done using solvents such as jojoba, fractionated coconut oil, and wax. The most regular solvents for fragrance oil dilution is ethanol or a mixture of ethanol and water.

The percent of perfume oil by volume in a perfume is listed as follows:

Perfume: 20%-40% Fragrance compounds
Eau de parfum (EDP) : 10-30% Fragrance compounds
Eau de toilette (EDT) : 5-20% Fragrance compounds
Eau de cologne (EDC) : 2-3% Fragrance compounds.
As the percentage of fragrance compounds decreases, the intensity and longevity of the scent decrease. It should be noted that different perfumeries or perfume houses assign different amounts of oils to each of their fragrances. As such, although the oil concentration of a fragrance in eau de parfum (EDP) dilution will necessarily be higher than the same fragrance in eau de toilette (EDT) form, the same trends may not necessarily apply to different parfume compositions with different perfume houses.

To further complicate things, some fragrances with the similar product name but having a different concentration name may not only differ in their formulas, but actually use different perfume oil mixtures altogether. In some cases, words such as “extreme” or “concentrate” appended to fragrance names might indicate completely different fragrances that relate only because of a like fragrance content.
