Abstract
The goal of this paper is to identify and describe the synchronic models found in women’s perfumes. Ninety names of women’s perfumes and perfumed waters excerpted from the website of the Notino cosmetic shop were analysed. The modelling approach led to the creation of the A1 model, which maps the chrematonymic attributes of social relationships, which are reflected in the basic and the auxiliary functional elements with onymic value. In the sample, the basic functional element, that is, explicit information that the product is perfume or perfumed water, was found only three times. The semantic attribute of quality has been identified as the most frequently occurring auxiliary functional element; it is related to figurativeness, symbolism, and metaphors. This semantic attribute was dominant in the most frequent perfumonym model. As a standalone auxiliary functional element, it was identified in almost half of the cases. Further semantic attributes identified include directedness, trademark, place affiliation, temporal affiliation, numerical characteristics, and honorification characteristics.
