This chart is an estimate, not a measurement. It is modelled from the volatility of the notes; the real development shifts with temperature, skin and concentration.
CHARACTER
The same ruler as the notes below, so the two can be read side by side. A blend always sits milder than what it is made of: no perfume reaches as far out as a single note can.
- between cool and warm
- between velvety and sharp
- faintly clean
- faintly airborne
NOTES
NEIGHBOURS
The one in the middle is this perfume. Closeness is similarity: the nearer it sits, the more alike it is. Height is depth in the space — those above the ring sit deeper, those below sit closer to the surface. It is the difference the flat map cannot show.
