In a previous article, we discussed the Fragrance Wheel and Scent Families and we learnt that a floral fragrance, also called a floral scent, is one of the scent family categories.
Floral scents are primarily used for women’s fragrances. In this article we go more into depth on floral scents, and provide more insight on this scent type.
What Are Floral Scents:
Floral scents are - as its name says - scents that come from flowers. They’re composed of all the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or aroma compounds, that are given off from floral tissue (e.g. flower petals). They usually smell like fresh-cut flowers or have a powdery note to them. Floral scents are perfect for the spring and summertime.
As previously mentioned, floral scents are mostly used when producing women's fragrances, but can be occasionally used for men's fragrances.
Floral Scent Subfamilies:
Fruity: Sweet, edible and tropical like a peach, pear, or apple.
Floral: Smells like fresh-cut flowers — imagine roses or lilies.
Soft Floral: Soft, powdery and sweet with a hint of cream.
Floral Oriental: Florals with subtle notes of spice.
Common Floral Family Notes:
Rose.
Jasmine.
Orange blossoms.
