How to Choose a Fragrance Body Butter by Scent Family

Buying scented body care online is easier when you stop trying to imagine every individual note and first decide which broad fragrance family you actually like.

Fresh and clean

Look for citrus, tea, ginger, aromatic notes and clean woods. These profiles usually feel bright, crisp and easy to wear. In McKellar House, start with Fresh & Clean Fragrance Body Butters.

Warm and gourmand

Vanilla, coffee, praline, amber, spice and coconut push a scent warmer and sweeter. Browse the Warm, Sweet & Gourmand collection.

Floral and fruity

Rose, jasmine, magnolia, lychee and other bright fruit or flower notes can range from airy to romantic to creamy. Browse Floral & Fruity.

Woody and musky

Woods and musk often make a scent feel smoother, drier and closer to skin. They are also flexible layering bases because they can sit under citrus, florals, amber or sweeter fragrances.

Still undecided?

A discovery set is the easiest way to compare scent families on your own skin. The McKellar House Discovery Set includes eight different profiles for side-by-side testing.
