have compositions containing aromatic herbs such as lavender, rosemary, thyme, eucalyptus, and mint. The aromatic family includes most men's fragrances.

have very pronounced powdery, vanilla, animal compositions. Aromatic-Fougère: the perfume is adorned with woody notes, hints of lavender… in short, scents that are reminiscent of a walk in the forest.
