Classifications of Perfume

Perfumes are those scented liquid that we either spray or apply in our body to smell good to other people. Perfumes can be divided into several broad types, as indicated below. Many perfumes, however, are combinations of one or more types.

Floral perfumes are either single scented, with the smell that resembles to that of a single type of flower, or a floral bouquet, with the smell of several flowers. Floral perfumes are usually gentle and delicately scented, saccharine perfumes.

Fruit perfumes are rarely used on their own but fruit fragrances are often found as accents to floral bouquets. Fruits commonly used as sources of fragrances include apricots, berries, and other citrus fruits.

Wood or forest perfumes are redolent of the outdoors. They are usually nimble perfumes.

Spice perfumes are tangy and often fairly heavy. The most commonly used spice fragrances are clove and vanilla. Spices are also used in floral and oriental perfumes.

Orient perfumes are the most intense and most exotic type of perfumes. They are overpowering and have a tendency to recluse some of the lighter perfumes.

Modern scents are fancy perfumes usually containing synthetic aromatics. They are not directly compatible to perfumes made with natural materials. Most of the modern scents have accents of the other perfume types, such as floral. These are the type of perfume that is highly available in the market.
