Popular Women's Fragrances - Oriental Notes
The Fragrance Wheel is a popular way to classify fragrances. The wheel divides fragrances into four major categories: Oriental, Floral, Fresh and Woody notes. Generally, fragrances will share qualities, so the notes often blend between categories. This guide will examine Women's Oriental Fragrances, which can be sub-divided into four additional categories. They are woody oriental, oriental, soft oriental and floral oriental.
There are plenty of oriental fragrances on the market. Oriental fragrances often last longer than the other note categories. They are marked by intense ingredients that exude warmth and sensuality. This guide will examine a variety of perfumes within each of the Oriental sub-categories.
