Choosing a fragrance for yourself or a loved one can be a confusing and slightly overwhelming experience. The range of scents, variations can lead to a perplexing and daunting task of deciding.

This guide is written to streamline and ease the process of finding a scent that you or your dear one will truly love and appreciate.

It is important to note that perfume is very personal and how it sits on the skin is unique as each and everyone of us. Testing on the skin is recommended before purchasing a full-size vessel.

The Fragrance Wheel is divided into Citrus, Floral, Woody & Amber, sitting within each of these are facets, combinations of the anchor scent and an accompanying note of either, Marine, Green, Fruity, Chypre or Fougere for example.

Deciding the Fragrance family first and then choosing the facet that you prefer is a good starting point, then comparing a couple of perfumes within this range is an ideal way to fine tune your selection.

Floris has a comprehensive selection of artfully crafted scents.
