Fragrance notes: finding the right perfume by fragrance notes

Fragrance notes refer to individual fragrance components of perfumes. In this way, feminine and masculine fragrances for instance can be categorised accordingly. However, unisex perfumes are also being classified in corresponding fragrance families more and more. Often, the ingredients of unisex perfumes simply differ in the composition of the individual fragrance notes and the quantities used, so that these perfumes can be worn by all genders.

Classic perfumes for women are feminine fragrance compositions that are created specifically for women. These are often flowery, sweet and warm. This is in contrast to the masculine fragrance note, which is generally wooden, rough and leathery.
