What are Floral Perfumes?

Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords.

Floral:


Floral fragrances are the most beloved and widely used in perfumery, celebrated for their ability to evoke feelings of elegance, romance, and freshness. Within this family, both single floral notes (soliflores) and complex floral bouquets can be found, each offering its own unique aromatic experience.

When you inhale a tuberose note, you're immediately enveloped in its rich, creamy sweetness. It’s heady, almost intoxicating, with a voluptuous, white floral character that feels full-bodied and deeply fragrant. The scent has a waxy, slightly spicy edge, making it both sensual and mysterious, often evoking warm summer nights. It’s a fragrance that feels indulgent and captivating, with a velvety texture that leaves a lasting impression.

Hyacinth offers a striking contrast, as its scent is fresh, green, and bright, with a slightly sweet, watery undertone. It's like a breath of spring air, filled with the scent of newly bloomed flowers and dewy grass. The aroma has a delicate, yet vibrant character, with a clean floral note that’s both uplifting and energizing.
