you should try fragrances that include notes of that flower.
Oriental fragrances are rich, bold and overall exotic. Notes like amber and vanilla are often present in the oriental group. This family leans toward the “heavier” side and are more sensual fragrances, ideal for romantic occasions.
Woods or Chypre fragrances are usually masculine in nature with aromatic woods and moss notes. Think sandalwood, cedar wood and the most coveted Oud (Asian Agarwood). Woody scents may also hint of Patchouli, vetiver and pine.
FRAGRANCE TRENDS
Consumers have not tired of niche fragrances, so expect indie brands to continue to dominate. Artisanal quality and originality are the main drivers of this trend. Often tailormade, niche fragrances set themselves apart from the mainstream and let consumers stand out from the crowd.
As we cultivate a greener, healthier lifestyle, natural fragrances such as essential oils have found favour with both consumers and manufacturers. In addition to being an environmentally conscious choice, many natural fragrances are also sought-after for their stress relieving properties.
