What characterizes floral and fruity fragrance notes?
Floral scents are often described as flowery, soft, elegant, powdery, green, or romantic. Fruity scents, on the other hand, appear more vibrant, brighter, juicier, or more sparkling. 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 a pleasant and present, but not too dark or heavy, scent. Depending on the combination, they can appear modern, playful, natural, elegant, or summery.
