For example, lemon 'notes' from different sources such as lemon EO, lemon petitgrain, litsea, lemon myrtle, even frankincense etc. This would mean lemony smells in top, middle and base notes. Sort of like modulating chords. Or florals modulating from light fresh through intense and sensual and even, perhaps, 'basey.' I also often think of perfume and music as having many similarities, enjoyed your post Adam. Elise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
