When you discover a scent, it inevitably evokes a feeling or reminds you of someone. A perfume evokes moments, places, people, or so many sensations that it's impossible to describe what it suggests to you.
That's why today we're starting to explain our olfactory families and which fragrances belong to each one. So, the next time you choose a perfume, you'll have a very clear idea of the feeling you want to leave on whoever catches your scent.
The classification of perfumes by fragrance family was proposed by perfumers in the 20th century, with the aim of classifying (or at least attempting to classify) the vast array of aromas that exist in the world of perfumery. This makes it much easier to get an idea of what a perfume smells like and which ones might be similar to it, something incredibly useful for the user. Today, there isn't a single, universally accepted classification, as this world is full of nuances and it's often very difficult to categorize a fragrance within a single family. However, it is a very valuable and approximate guide.
