Olfactive families

Olfactive families are the top-level taxonomy of the fragrance world — categories like Floral, Oriental, Woody, and Fresh that group perfumes by their dominant character. WikiParfum provides a structured family hierarchy that powers navigation, filtering, and visual categorization across the platform.
