What does a floral perfume smell like?

Like flowers, but rarely like one flower alone. Rose, jasmine and orange blossom are the most common, usually softened with musk or fruit and grounded on wood or amber so the bouquet has somewhere to sit.

Which floral perfumes are best for spring?

Lighter florals over musk and citrus — pear, peony, freesia and lily of the valley compositions — feel right in mild weather. Heavy tuberose and rose-oud blends are better saved for cool evenings.

Are floral perfumes only for women?

No. Rose and orange blossom appear in a great many men's fragrances, particularly in Middle Eastern perfumery where rose-and-oud is a classic masculine pairing.

What is the difference between floral and floral-fruity?

Floral-fruity adds pear, peach, berry or lychee to the bouquet, which makes it read younger and sweeter. A straight floral keeps the flowers in front without the sugar.
