How many of you have not experienced the fragrant effect of a scent in a blooming garden. Especially when lilies of the valley, jasmine, roses, lilies, levkoy are blooming ... Is it possible to enumerate the beautiful flowers, the aroma of which spreads in the air like a wave of a gentle breeze. It seems to you that you are bathing in this fragrance, you breathe in it and cannot breathe, your soul melts with admiration.

Language is powerless here - and how to find words
For these bright colors, ...

Whoever was lucky enough to visit the vicinity of Grasse, when the gardens are in bloom, certainly felt the breath of flower plantations long before approaching the city. The scent of the bloom is so strong that it permeates the air for miles around. And every hour more and more flowers bloom, and one scent is replaced by another.

But soon, very soon, the scent and beauty of flowers will become a thing of the past, if not for the art of perfumers, which can prolong flowering and give us their fragrance for a longer period.

The time has passed, and the roses have faded.
People have extracted their scent from roses,
For roses, the bottle is a glass prison:
It's summer in it, even if winter is coming.

Only flowers do not so easily give their fragrant essence into the hands of a person. And only a perfumer, a true artist and composer, brings us closer to the perfection of aromas.

This family is, one might say, the most important, uniting perfumes, the main theme of which is the flower.
Floral fragrances are one of the largest families. Almost no composition can do without them. This is a family that can be classified into subgroups:
1. One flower
2. Flower bouquet
3. Lavender flower
4. Floral green
5. Floral-aldehyde
6. Floral-woody
7. Floral-fruity

Subgroup - one flower, in it the leading theme is one flower. This is the same as in a piece of music there is a main part, for example, jasmine - Jasmin De Corse from Coty, tuberose - Chloe from Lagerfeld, lily of the valley - Diorissimo, created by the French perfumer Edmond Roudnitska for the House of Dior, where "... lilies of the valley smell like this only in paradise."

Flower bouquet - this subgroup is the most numerous, because even in a perfume in which a part of one flower sounds, a whole bouquet still gathers around it, and sometimes a harmony of aromas is created in which the sound is so beautiful, although it does not resemble the fragrance of any one flower - for example , Cerruti Pour Homme from Cerruti, Macassar from Roche. Or the time-tested Quelques Fleurs (“Several Flowers”), created in 1913 and then released again in 1985 under the name Quelques Fleurs I'Original, combines a harmony of flowers from rose, jasmine, lilac, orchid, violet and creates a truly dizzying effect that makes you remember this smell for a long time.

There are floral scents in which lavender is the protagonist.
For example Donna Karan Essence Lavender. Lavender is a fragrance from the Donna Karan Essence series. The perfume is dedicated to lavender. This is a classic lavender scent, soothing and calm, it is always appropriate for any occasion. As soon as you inhale this aroma, you will feel like on the endless plantations of Grasse.

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours. This composition is also built around a lavender note. The lavender perfume can be enumerated endlessly, not to mention the fact that most English perfumers have a weakness for lavender.

Floral green theme - Touch For Woman by Burberry, Manifesto by Isabella Rossellini, floral-aldehyde - Infini by Karon, Dazziling Silver by Este Lauder. There is also a floral-fruity - 212 from Aqua Di Gio from Armani, Boss Woman from Hugo Boss.

Eau de parfum Lady Gaga Fame, Lady Gaga. This is a colorful symphony of floral and fruity components, bright and intense.

Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf. It is indeed an incredible explosion of flowers and citrus fruits: bergamot and orange, rose and jasmine, freesia, orchid and sweet tuberose, tea and musk, which create a single aromatic harmony.

Floral woody - CK Be from Calvin Klein, Lacoste Pour Femme from Lacoste, sometimes even distinguish a subgroup of floral-woody-musky - Blv from Bulgari, Noa from Kasharel, Ke Feu Light from Issei Miyake.

Today, fragrances have such a complex structure that they include substances of almost all groups and it can be difficult to determine which group it belongs to. But the most important thing is that you like the scent and that it be in tune with your soul.
