Description

The fragrance wheel is an essential reference tool for natural perfumers, helping you understand scent families and develop a precise, confident scent vocabulary.

Designed as a working tool for students and artisan perfumers, it maps the main natural aromatic families on one side and pairs them with expressive vocabulary on the other. Keep it beside you while you blend, write formulas, or evaluate raw materials so you can move quickly from “this smells nice” to precise, confident scent language.

Use it to:

  • locate a material’s family at a glance

  • find related notes when building or adjusting a formula

  • expand your perfume vocabulary when writing descriptions or briefs

  • train your nose by spinning, sniffing, and naming what you smell

How to Use the Fragrance Wheel in Your Practice

The Fragrance & Vocabulary Wheel is meant to be used actively, not stored away. Keep it beside you during your blending sessions and move between scent families as you evaluate each material. If you’re learning to smell more intentionally, try spinning the wheel and challenging yourself to describe a note using the vocabulary suggested on the reverse side. Over time, this helps build the creative and analytical muscles that natural perfumers rely on.

The wheel is also particularly helpful when you’re writing: whether you’re drafting a perfume brief, documenting a formula, or preparing notes for clients or coursework, the vocabulary prompts make it easier to express what you smell in clear, evocative language.

Teachers and workshop facilitators often use this wheel to introduce beginners to the concept of aromatic families. It provides a visual anchor that makes natural materials easier to understand, compare, and remember.

Why This Wheel Matters

Natural perfumery has its own rhythm, demands, and language, very different from mainstream fragrance training. This wheel was created inside the Natural Perfume Academy as a practical way to help students and perfumers become fluent in describing what they smell. It is grounded in real studio practice and reflects the way natural materials behave, evolve, and harmonise.

The vocabulary side is especially valuable for anyone who hesitates when trying to describe scent. Instead of relying on vague impressions, the wheel helps you develop a confident, descriptive voice that supports your formulas, your storytelling, and your creative vision.

Designed and printed in Ireland, the wheel reflects over sixteen years of teaching natural perfumery to students around the world. It’s a simple tool, but one that opens up a much wider understanding of scent.

FAQ
