Feminine and sophisticated, these can take on different characteristics according to whether they derive from an individual note or from a floral bouquet. In any case, this is a large family in which various types can be distinguished:
fresh: these derive from typically spring-like flowers such as Lily of the Valley, Freesia or certain varieties of slightly fruity Rose;
green: Violet is a distinctive example, but in general these can be traced back to the “buds” of the flower, with a scent which therefore reminds us of elements nearer to the earth such as leaves or grass.
intense: these can be traced back to flowers which are typical of regions with particularly hot climates: Jasmine, Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Narcissus. These notes often contain accentuated nuances which are balsamic, spiced or of animal origin.
“hybrid”: this refers to all those floral notes which are characterised by a “mix” of olfactory nuances. For example the Hyacinth has a scent which is both fresh and intense at the same time, in the same way that the violet could be considered slightly woody and not only green.
