To make the search for your perfect perfume easier, we have divided our perfume into fragrance families. A fragrance family is a group in which you will find fragrances with similar characteristics. This can be in terms of fragrance notes or structure.

We classify perfumes into the following "families."

Chypre, Fruity, Aquatic and Chypre are separate fragrance groups blended into 1 numerical range. Chypre fragrances are warm and dry. They are often constructed with fragrance notes such as bergamot, oakmoss and patchouli. Their base is often woody/mossy. Fragrances that fall into the fruity category are overtly fruity.
