Descriptions such as woody, aromatic, amber or floral group impressions into familiar categories. Individual perfumes can sit comfortably across several categories.

A profile cannot reliably convey strength, personal suitability or exact wear time. Two fragrances both described as woody may feel almost unrelated.

Use the profile to choose what to sample, then make your decision from the complete composition and the specific product information.

Treat a fragrance guide as a useful starting point. The experience of a finished product, your own preferences and its label information remain more important than broad descriptions. XASIS currently presents its Signature Five as fragrance design concepts in development; final notes, formula details and availability are confirmed only for finished products.
