Citrus, woody and herbal descriptions can help you choose a direction to explore in a catalogue. Use them as preference tags in your own notes. The word "citrus" does not identify a bottle's ingredients, botanical species or suitable method of use.
Make a short personal tag list
Start with three groups: citrus associations, woody associations and herbal associations. Conifer-like impressions can sit within the broader woody group for this worksheet. Keep several tags when a scent reminds you of more than one group.
This organizes a personal list. Our public eoASSIST checks covered name search and product categories. This article does not promise a built-in filter for these three scent tags.

Turn an association into a lookup
| Your tag | Next action |
|---|---|
| Citrus | Copy specific names from the description, then check plant identity and part |
| Woody or conifer-like | Keep the exact product name instead of choosing any bottle with a tree picture |
| Herbal | Identify the particular plant or blend being described |
| Several groups | Keep all useful tags, with the ingredient list recorded separately |
Put scent words and ingredients in different fields. A perfumery note can describe an impression without naming a material literally present. "Woody scent" therefore does not replace an ingredient list.
Find a specific entry
Open the eoASSIST oil catalogue. Take one exact name from your list and find the corresponding entry. Compare its complete name and category with the package. Use the checked search walkthrough if a query returns several candidates.
Keep the entry link alongside your tag. You can return to a particular reference instead of trying to reconstruct its name from a remembered smell.
Read the classification in context
Oriflame's guide describes fragrance families as groupings by overall scent character. Checked on 11 November 2026. Our shorter worksheet is an editorial choice, rather than a mandatory classification for all essential oils. It does not infer a medical effect from a scent family.
