"Heavy" on your spirits, to another woman may begin to sound easily and charmingly. Perfumes must be chosen individually. After all, each of us has its unique chemistry of the skin. What wonderful smells on others, not necessarily for you and will be as fragrant!
Classification of fragrances
First you have to determine the type of perfume that you most likable.
There are several classifications of flavors. Acquaintance with them can be extremely helpful when choosing perfume! Often without realizing it
report, we choose the perfume in the same tone.
French perfume Committee ("Le Comite Francais du Parfum") in 1990 proposed a classification:
1.Tsitrusovye
Citrus flavors include oil fruits such as lemon, mandarin, bergamot, orange, grapefruit, etc. Aromas of this group of extremely light and fresh, such as212 On Ice by Carolina Herrera, Aqua Allegoria Lemon Fresca by Guerlain and Armani Emporio White by Giorgio Armani.
2.Tsvetochnye
Of all the categories, namely flower group is the most popular. These scents predominantly female. The family of floral perfume groups, which are the main note of the flowers: rose, carnation, lily, narcissus, violet, lily of the valley, jasmine, tuberose, etc. Flower family is represented in the market perfumes fragrances such as5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden, Champs Elysees by Guerlain, Very Irresistible by Givenchy.
3.Paporotniki (glasses)
"La fougère" translated from French as "fern". The name of this family has no relation to the ferns, which, incidentally, have no smell at all! The name of this family came from established in 1882 perfume Fougere Royale, the foundation of which was laid
artificially synthesized substance coumarin (odorless mown hay). In addition to the coumarin, fern fragrance sound notes of lavender, wood, oak moss, bergamot, geranium. Perfumes this line have a tart flavor of vegetable such as, for example,
CK be from Calvin Klein, Safari by Ralph Lauren, Drakkar Noir by Guy Laroche.
4.Shipry
In 1917, François Coty released in its original sound scent - the smell of moss on the oak, so that he was struck in Cyprus (hence the name of this family). This type consists of aromas with notes of oak moss, labdanum-ladanika, patchouli, resin, sage, bergamot.
Obvious examples are the chypre fragrances such as
Mitsouko by Guerlain, Ysatis by Givenchy, Knowing by Estee Lauder, Miss Dior by Christian Dior.
5.Drevesnye
This family of fragrances sounds sonorous notes of sandalwood and patchouli, cedar and vetiver, rose bush, and the myrtle, musk and blue iris. This line of fragrances presented perfumeCashmere Mist by Donna Karan, Trussardi Fresh from Trussardi and Truth by Calvin Klein.
6.Ambrovye
Amber perfume also called "eastern" or "oriental". This family includes fragrances with powdery, vanilla, bright notes of animals, as well as spicy notes of cinnamon and spices. Aromas of this group are best suited for the evening.
The representatives of this category of perfumes:
Shalimar by Guerlain, Casmir by Chopard and Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
7.Kozhanye
Perfumes this category fragrant juniper and birch bark tar. This family of fragrances sounds dry notes of smoke, burnt wood and tobacco. Perfumes this category more often male, such as the Life Essence by Fendi, Bel Ami by Hermes, Derby by Guerlain. Women also leather aromas, usually rare:Cuir de Russie by Chanel, Scandal by Lanvin, Tabac Blond by Caron.
Each of these categories has its subclasses.
For example, the family is divided into flower:
• One flower (or monozapah);
• Flower lavender;
• Flower bouquet;
• Flower-green;
• Flower-aldehyde;
• Flower-wood;
• Flower and fruit trees.
Perfumers emit fragrances and other areas that are not included in this classification. For example, the "aldehyde" perfumes are fragrances synthetically created using pure chemical compounds.
Aldehydes reinforce other notes in perfumes. Outstanding representatives of aldehydes are legendaryChanel № 5(These spirits were the first in the history of the aldehyde perfume!)White Linen by Estee Lauder and First by Van Cleef & Arpels.
Separately isolated as fruit, green, eastern / oriental, marine / ozone / ocean, spicy flavors of the family.
Such a division is quite arbitrary: the boundaries between families of scents are highly diffuse. However, knowledge of the intricacies of perfume can help determine the purchase of spirits.
