Best floral fragrances

Rose, jasmine, iris, tuberose and peony — the largest and most varied family, running from soap-clean and powdery through to full opulent bouquet.

Floral covers an enormous range, so the useful distinction is weight. Powdery iris and clean muguet compositions sit close to the skin and suit offices and heat; big white-floral bouquets built on tuberose and orange blossom project hard and belong to evenings and cool weather. Both are on this list, and each entry says which it is.
