Floral Scents: How can you identify a light floral scent?

This may seem a little strange to you, but in fact, all floral scents have a strong enough sensation.
The truth is that, as perfumers, we do not measure the strength or product of a fragrance, rather the effect or sensation it provides. Hence the ambiguous term “light” actually means fresh. Yes, you can say “delicate” or “delicate” but in no case can we mean that light flowers have a light feel or a weak scent. In fact, one of the strongest essential oils you can find is Rose Garden which is classified as light floral.

 

Some bright examples of light floral scents are rose, peony, geranium, and tuberose (by the way, these are the so-called “rose flowers”), as well as violets, lilies, hyacinths, bluebells, and lilacs (“lily flowers”).

So, next time you read the term “light floral” try to imagine a fresh, playful, invigorating spring-like and slightly green scent.

Floral Scents: How can you identify heavy floral ?

Intoxicating, intoxicating, narcotic In these terms we can define the feeling that heavy smells will give you
A real example of heavy scents is jasmine, and if you’re used to its very stimulating scent, you’ll have no problem recognizing the rest of the family like gardenia, frangipani, orchid, and ylang-ylang.

In general, heavy floral scents evoke feelings of sensuality and opulence, which is why it goes without saying that they suit oriental blends best.
