These divisions correspond to different intensities of the dominant fragrance notes associated with each Family. Think of these intensities like the differences between Soprano (Fresh), Alto (Crisp), Tenor (Classical), and Bass (Rich). Weil for Men is in the Crisp subdivision of the Dry Woods Family.

There are three segments that make up a fragrance's life, which are labeled Top Notes, Middle Notes, and Base Notes.
