What characterizes floral and fruity fragrance notes?

Floral fragrances are often described as floral, soft, elegant, powdery, green, or romantic. Fruity fragrances, on the other hand, feel livelier, brighter, juicier, or spicier. Together, they create a friendly fragrance world that feels less heavy than resinous, very spicy, or intense fragrance families.

These fragrance notes are particularly well suited for people who like fragrance to be pleasant and present, but not too dark or heavy. Depending on the combination, they can feel modern, playful, natural, elegant, or summery.
