FRAGRANCE KNOWLEDGE
Fragrance Discovery & Guidance
Start with the person, the setting and the business brief. These guides support discovery; they do not prescribe a fragrance for a particular age, gender or region.
SCENT CHARACTER
Explore the Scent Families
Scent families offer a useful vocabulary for describing fragrances. Compositions can span several profiles; typical notes illustrate a family rather than describe every fragrance in it.
WOODY · AMBER
Woody & Amber Fragrances
Warm, rounded profiles combining woods with ambered or resinous impressions.

Climate & occasions
Explore for customers seeking a distinctive statement or evening fragrance. Preferences for intensity should be tested rather than assumed from the destination.
For business buyers
Discuss familiarity with oud, desired projection and the intended occasion. Include a range of strengths when evaluating the category.
WHITE FLORAL · CITRUS
White Floral & Citrus Fragrances
Luminous floral profiles balanced by bright citrus or soft musky impressions.
Typical notesNeroliOrange BlossomWhite Musk
View scent guidanceClose scent guidanceClimate · Occasions · Buying advice
Climate & occasions
Explore transparent expressions for offices, daytime appointments and warm destinations; assess richer floral compositions separately.
For business buyers
Ask customers whether they prefer fresh, clean, creamy or more expressive floral qualities to guide a business assortment.
SELECTION CONTEXT
Climate & Region
Begin with the specific destination and season. For a brief in a warm and humid city such as Hong Kong or Shenzhen, discuss time spent outdoors, air-conditioned interiors and the desired level of intensity.
Fresh citrus, transparent florals, clean musks and gentle woods are useful starting points for that conversation. Richer amber, gourmand or woody profiles can be explored for evening occasions and indoor settings. Evaluate the individual fragrance in context; a family name alone does not establish suitability.
PEOPLE & PREFERENCES
Audience Preferences
Ask customers which fragrances, notes and levels of intensity they enjoy. Familiarity with perfume, lifestyle, personal expression and buying purpose can be more useful than a demographic label.
Age and gender can be considered when discussing a target audience, but they are not rules for who may enjoy a fragrance. Offer opportunities to explore floral, woody, fresh and amber profiles across labels, and use the customer’s own response to guide the next step.
MOMENTS THAT MATTER
Occasions & Use
For everyday wear and professional appointments, discuss a comfortable intensity and the shared spaces in which the fragrance will be worn. For evenings and formal events, explore whether the customer wants a softer presence or a more expressive composition.
For corporate gifts, weddings, hospitality and VIP occasions, consider the recipient group, fragrance familiarity, presentation requirements and quantity. A versatile profile is a starting point for evaluation, not a guarantee that every recipient will prefer it.
SCENT FAMILY SPOTLIGHT
Tea-Inspired Fragrances
Tea-inspired compositions can be explored through fresh green, citrus, floral or soft woody impressions. The overall scent and dry-down matter more than a single tea note.
Discuss whether customers prefer a crisp, airy profile or a smoother, more enveloping interpretation. For business assortments, evaluate the fragrance alongside the intended climate, use occasion and existing selection.
