Fragrance Families Explained: How to Choose the Perfect Perfume for Every Mood
Perfume is more than a scent. It is an invisible accessory that reflects mood, personality, and emotion. Understanding fragrance families helps you choose the perfume that feels like you. At Alberto Cortes Cosmetics & Perfumes, we celebrate the diversity of scent by offering designer perfumes, exclusive fragrances, and limited edition perfumes that capture every style and season.
Whether you love the freshness of citrus, the warmth of wood, or the romance of florals, discovering your ideal fragrance family begins with knowing how each one makes you feel.
Floral: Timeless and Feminine
Floral fragrances are among the most beloved in perfumery. They express softness, romance, and elegance, often built around rose, jasmine, peony, or orange blossom. These perfumes are ideal for anyone who enjoys classic sophistication.
At Alberto Cortes Cosmetics & Perfumes, you can explore floral perfume collections such as Dior J’adore Eau de Parfum, with its luminous bouquet of jasmine and ylang-ylang, or Parfums de Marly Delina, a modern floral masterpiece known for its vibrant trio of Turkish rose, peony, and lychee. For those who prefer something bolder, Tom Ford Café Rose adds a smoky undertone that transforms a traditional floral into something unforgettable.
