While there is endless variety when it comes to our available fragrances, many scents have so much history behind them that they are part of a tradition. Here are some of the most common families of scents.
Common Types of Fragrances | ||
|---|---|---|
Woody | Citrus | Fruity |
| Woody scents are some of the most common for men. In addition to woods like sandalwood and cedar, this family covers colognes that feature moss, leaves and other notes that are reminiscent of a quiet stroll through the forest. They are often complex enough to serve during the day or night, and are equally well-suited for formal or casual situations. | Citrus is featured in many unisex scents that are equally appealing on men or women. While this family can be enticing all year round, citrus colognes are especially pleasing during the spring and summer months. A bright, cheerful citrus scent is perfect for the daytime, while a more complex scent can replace it during the evenings. | Fruity scents are more common to women’s perfumes, but may appear as interesting notes in Men’s colognes. As opposed to citrus scents, fruity scents focus on sweetness without the sour notes. The fruits featured in these scents include Apple, Plum, Blackberry, Melon and Dragon Fruit. |
Ocean | Floral | Green |
| Colognes that call out to the ocean are relatively young compared to other families. The theme is created with salty notes mixed with refreshing mints, juniper and other scents reminiscent of a day at the beach. They are often subtle, and match perfectly to a laid-back style. | While floral scents are generally associated with women’s perfumes, men’s fragrances make use of flowery scents in many interesting ways. Flowers are most often featured in formal colognes that are a perfect match to black-tie evenings, weddings and other events that demand a respect for traditions. | Green colognes are another fine option for summer and daytime. These men’s fragrances feature scents that call to mind fresh-cut grasses and flowering trees, but are often brighter and less complex than woody scents. They are an excellent choice for casual and sports use. |
These common types are only the beginning. Cologne designers like Penhaligon’s are constantly pushing the limits to discover new and exciting aromas. Find an exciting assortment of these and many more in our online shop or at our fragrance store in Vancouver.
