Floral Fragrance - Nowadays, penned notes may be a dying art, but fragrance is still an effective way to express your personality, and the most popular choice by far have always been florals. "Whether they're soft or powerful, floral perfumes exude femininity," says Pascal Gaurin, a senior perfumer at International Flavors & Fragrances. "That's a huge part of their appeal." Plus, we have more intimate associations with flowers than with sunny citrus or exotic oriental notes.

Sillage - The Scent Trail - Sillage is the product of evaporation, aided and tweaked by alchemical wizardry. ... "It's a complex chemistry involving a lot of different molecules and how they interact with on another," explains Pascal Gaurin, a senior perfumer at New York scent-industry giant International Flavors & Fragrances, whose creations include Harajuku Lovers Love and Michael Kors Very Hollywood.

I spent summers with my grandparents in the country, in the Creuse area. I'd spend time in the forest to entertain myself. It was dark with lots of smells — the damp soil, mushrooms and flowers. I didn't realize it at the time, but those rich smells became a fundamental part of my makeup.

Many perfumers do have a chemistry background, but we're somewhat like architects, who have a mix of technical and creative skills. ... But the work is not simply empirical; it's also imaginative. In my mind, I have an olfactory vision.
