Fragrance Sub-family
A fragrance sub-family is a narrower category within a fragrance family that names its second defining facet. For example "floral fruity", "woody aromatic" or "ambery spicy".
Two fragrances in the same family can feel very different: a powdery floral and a green floral share a family but not much else. The sub-family captures that difference by pairing the main family with the facet that most shapes the scent.
