Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords. In this guide I will briefly discuss the Floral theme. Please view all the other guides on the Fragrance Families I have written.

Floral , the most popular in perfumery, includes both single floral scents and floral bouquets,. Floral scents can be either rich or light and airy in character. Single florals, also called soliflore, would be tuberose, hyacinth, lilac, honeysuckle, and gardenia, lily of the valley, orange blossom, jasmine, violet, carnation, rose and jasmine. Floral bouquets weave scents together to form a unified scent. There are subdivisions of classifications in this family and they are: single flower, lavender single flower, floral bouquet, floral chypre citrus, floral green, floral aldehydic, floral woody, floral fruity woody, floral amber fougere, floral chypre, floral spicy amber, floral woody amber, and floral leather.
