There’s been some confusion about the download process for this ebook. There’s a “suggested price” section on the download page that reads 1.99 USD, but you can change that by typing in a different price. The lowest purchase price is 0.99 USD. Follow the prompts to complete the secure transaction. Lemon Squeazy makes it easy, lol.

What are Perfume Families and Why Should I Care?
Perfume families, also known as fragrance families and olfactory families, are perfume categories based on a fragrance’s most prominent scents.
Knowing how to categorize your fragrances will help you to more easily shop for perfumes you’ll love, spend less time looking for a perfume you’ll love, and prevent you from wearing the wrong perfume at the wrong time.
By knowing a perfume’s olfactory family, you’ll know which perfume family smells best on you, which family you like the best, and which family to wear according to season.
If you have a fragrance that smells great on you, learning which perfume family it belongs to will help you find more perfumes that will smell great on you.
Weather Affects My Perfume’s Smell?
Yes, it does. Have you ever bought a new glorious-smelling perfume for a summer holiday and received loads of compliments, but those compliments stopped coming when you wore the same perfume in autumn? It’s because you wore a perfume that belonged to a fragrance family designed for warm-weather use.
Are You Easily Data-Overwhelmed?
Perfume-family classification is a complex topic. Its complexity is enhanced by the fact that professional perfumers often disagree on which family to place a fragrance. Just to make it more confusing, there are not only families but subfamilies and sub-subfamilies and more.
