Finding a fragrance that feels unmistakably yours or perfectly captures the essence of someone you wish to gift is a delicate pursuit. Without the opportunity to experience the scent firsthand, shopping for perfume online can feel daunting. Continue reading to discover four carefully considered tips for navigating fragrance discovery online in the comfort of your own space, uncovering how olfactive discovery can happen anytime, anywhere with complimentary benefits.

When it comes to finding a new perfume online, fragrance families can act as a unique guiding light. The House of Creed categorises its olfactive creations into four categories: Fresh, Floral, Amber and Woody. Although these may intertwine, with each fragrance family housing scents with a varying array of nuances, understanding the olfactive profile of each family can help to refine your selection.

Each family offers its own distinctive charm, from the uplifting citrus and herbs that define a fresh fragrance, to the radiant blooms and dew-kissed petals that bring a floral creation to life. You may be drawn to the alluring spices and comforting resins of an amber accord or to the earthy richness and grounding warmth of refined woods. Consider which fragrance family resonates with your personal aura, and which inspires you the most.

Even without experiencing a perfume’s physical presence, you can draw inspiration from your existing collection, or fragrances you already love. Do they belong to the same fragrance family or are there any notes they each share? You may find yourself naturally drawn to amber perfumes with sumptuous vanilla nuances or particularly enchanted by fresh scents inspired by aquatic breezes. Alternatively, you may be yearning for an entirely new expression or want to consider this beyond of the art of perfumery. Is there a scent that holds the power to instantly evoke a memory, one you would like to capture in your new perfume? Explore The House of Creed’s portfolio and discover the exquisite natural ingredients carefully sourced from around the world and artfully blended into each creation.
