Oriental Perfume Family

The Oriental perfume family is known for its rich and intense scent profile, filled with spices, resins, and herbs that are characteristic of Eastern cultures. Even if you cannot identify the specific notes in this family, you can often recognize them through the familiar and comforting sensations they evoke. Oriental fragrances are commonly described as alluring, exotic, and luxurious, with a strong sense of richness and attraction.

The Oriental family can be divided into the following subfamilies:

• Soft Oriental: This is the lightest and least intense subfamily within Oriental fragrances. It blends floral notes with gentle spices and resins, creating a smooth, warm scent that often resembles incense. These fragrances are commonly found in perfumes that combine floral notes with spices or resins as supporting elements.

• Oriental: This subfamily is built primarily around classic Oriental notes, presenting warm and comforting aromas such as vanilla and cinnamon. These notes create a musky effect and naturally evoke the familiar atmosphere of Eastern regions.

• Woody Oriental: This subfamily combines the warmth of woody notes with the sweetness of Oriental spices, resulting in a deeply attractive and sensual scent. Common examples include myrrh, sandalwood, and pine.
