Parfum 1:
History Repeats
Thank you for participating in the Parfum 1: History Repeats masterclass. Together with our Skins Experts, you have dived into the history of perfume, got to know different perfume houses, and we told you more about perfume families with unique ingredients. With fifteen extraordinary perfumes, you experienced different scents on the blotter and skin.
Fragrances are divided into olfactory families. A fragrance family is a group of fragrances categorised together because of their similarities and complementary differences. There are four leading olfactory families with one noticeable scent, and within them, a series of olfactory families in which that prominent scent blends with other scents. The scent wheel below shows which families there are and how they are structured.
Cologne & Citrus
Citrus fragrances are known for their vibrant character. Ingredients like lime, bergamot and neroli add a sparkling facet to each fragrance composition. Do you like perfumes with a fresh touch? Then this is a lovely fragrance family to explore. During the masterclass, we discovered the following fragrances in this family.
Floral
Perfumes from the floral fragrance family remind you of a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Think of rose, iris, jasmine, tuberose or magnolia. The possibilities with flowers in perfumes are endless. Which of the three fragrances from this family is your favourite?
Fougère
Fougere is aromatic and a perfume from this family contains lavender, oakmoss, coumarin and a woody note. The word Fougere literally means 'fern', so the perfume almost always contains green, mossy and clean notes.
Incense
Resin and incense have a magical effect in perfumes. Resin gives a fragrance more depth and character, while incense is a beautiful addition. Those who love warm and mystical scents will also appreciate creations with resin and incense.
Ambery
This blend of ingredients comes together in a warm, spicy and mysterious scent. Vanilla and the resins benzoin and oppoponax form the basis for the amber facet, which is often used to give perfumes a rich, sensual and warm feeling. Check out the ambery fragrances we discussed in this masterclass.
