Yes, there is a fragrance wheel, which is just like a color wheel, except it's for scents and not colors. The fragrance wheel is a super helpful tool because not only can it help you niche down on scents you like, but it can also help easily demystify the world of fragrances.

There are so many different ways you can use the fragrance wheel, so let's break it down. Here's everything you need to know about the fragrance wheel. 

What is the fragrance wheel? 

According to AlphaAromatics.com, although it is most commonly known as the fragrance wheel, it is also sometimes called the aroma wheel, fragrance circle, and perfume wheel. This fragrance wheel is similar to a color wheel, but instead of colors, the former helps you figure out the similarities and differences between olfactory categories. Perfumers use it to experiment with scents, and you can also use it to figure out what you like. 

The wheel is divided into four main fragrance families: amber, floral, woody, and fresh. It also features the subcategories of scents. So you can niche down when it comes to exactly what you love. 

How can I use the fragrance wheel? 

The fragrance wheel can help you determine which scents pair well together, which is great for adding scents throughout your home. You can also use it to determine what scents are worth layering or mixing together.

Here are a few ways you can use this wheel to help you figure out what scents to pick up:

The Triangle Fragrance Technique

According to BeautyBase.com, this technique involves choosing three fragrance subcategories shaped like triangles on the wheel. This technique can help you discover scents that complement each other and be more specific in your scent selections. For example, if you're a fan of woodsy and fresh fragrances, you might find a floral amber scent to like. 

Opposites Attract 

Another way you can use the fragrance wheel, similar to the color wheel, is to combine scents that are opposite of each other. So, look at your favorite subfamily and see what is on the opposite side of it for a fun and interesting combination. 

Side By Side

Think of it like how side-by-side colors look good together; it is the same way when it comes to scents. So, if you're super into floral ambers, you'll probably also enjoy soft floral scents. It's really that easy.
