There's something incredibly personal and powerful about fragrance. Scent has the power to evoke memories and feelings in a way that our other senses can't.
Plus, in this writer's opinion, there's no better compliment than being told that you smell amazing. That said, because scent is so intimate, it can be difficult to choose a fragrance. And that's where this breakdown comes in. In the fragrance world, perfume can be divided into seven different categories. If you know what type of fragrance you like, choosing one becomes a much easier task. Here, we explain the seven major types of fragrances, plus share our fave products in each category.
Store fragrances in a cool, dark place away from air conditioning or heating units to keep them from going bad prematurely. Reminiscent of a walk among the California redwoods or sitting around a campfire, woody scents are characterized by smelling like the great outdoors—but they can honestly be very sultry. If you like the smell of wet asphalt which is called petrichor , you'll probably enjoy a woody scent.
Also recommended for people who enjoy hiking 14ers, camping , and various other outdoor activities—or those who simply want to give off the illusion that they enjoy those things. All the ingredients in this fragrance were ethically sourced in California. Extract from redwood leaves is paired with notes of blond tobacco and chamomile. A cult-favorite creamy, woody scent with notes of violet accord, cardamom, iris, cedarwood, leather, and sandalwood.
Citrus scents are crisp and clean, usually characterized by notes like lemon, grapefruit, orange, and bergamot. As long as it's this one, which balances the floral side of things with spices and woods that ground it in a smokier, darker place. Seriously: You can wear a rose cologne. You're looking right at it. Inspired by a specific s-era cafe in Paris called The Orpheon, this deep fragrance blends notes of tobacco and burnished wood to create a warmth that feels old, but like in a good way.
Wearing it is the perfect balance between fresh, herbal and woody vibes. Perfumers use amber to add warmth and depth to colognes and this one has a lot of it.
But unlike other amber-forward scents, which can sometimes be heavy, this one also has a lot of citrus in the mix along with other notes of cinnamon, ginger and neroli.
If you think patchouli should be kept to Phish concerts and food co-ops, this cologne will change your mind. At first spray, the pomelo and pepper top note of this cologne gives you a punch of citrus—pretty standard for a fresh, summery scent like this.
But what complicates things is the heart note of pungent, slightly-herbal cannabis which dries down to reveal palo santo and vetiver. The mix is slightly familiar, slightly unexpected—ideal for a poolside party or a summer road trip.

It's almost like you're saying you kind of smell. Could you maybe improve it? Even if you spent a lot of money, it might give the wrong impression.
So, no, not for me. For no one other than my mom. Maria: Have you received perfume as a gift? Rory: I give it to myself every year because that's how long it seems to last. But no one else is actually giving me perfume recently as a gift.
I tend to get things like books, for example, Maria: Would you like to receive perfume as a gift? Rory: Oh, well, if it was a kind I liked then yes. Although, some people aren't very good at picking out things that I like in the sense of like fashion and things like that. So if they knew me then yes. But if they don't know me so well then probably no. Did you like this episode? Our Instagram: bit. Buy Rory a new black shirt! Energy drinks, protein bars, and YOUR help make this podcast possible!
