Identify your favourite scent families
There are five fragrance families to know about before you begin your research. Floral scents include romantic notes like jasmine, freesia and lily of the valley, while fresh scents include lighter notes, for example, lavender, lemon and bergamot. If you want something warmer, try the amber family (think labdanum, coumarin and nutmeg) or more woody scents with notes of sandalwood, myrrh and patchouli. If you like sweet smells, go for gourmand (which can include cocoa, coffee and vanilla to name a few). Not sure where to start? Think about bath and beauty products you love. Are you a fan of vanilla? Or do you dream about fresh roses? Identifying which notes you like the most can help you figure out what to look for in a fragrance.
