Family
Floral
Flowers, split by weight rather than by species
What holds it together
The three facets here are not three kinds of flower so much as three registers. Floral is transparent, White Floral is heavy and indolic, Powdery is dry and cosmetic. A single flower moves between them: rose is floral, rose absolute leans powdery, and jasmine is never anything but white.
Smells most like
lilac - and in the same register, violet, wild jasmine.
Notes strongest in Floral
Strongest first. A note's family value is the highest of its member facets, not their average - averaging would let a note that is emphatically one thing and nothing else read as weak, which is the opposite of what the family is for.

The facets in it
The facets are the coordinate system; the family is how it is read. Every one of these is measured separately, and a note carries a value on all of them at once.
The other families
Every other family gathers the same 34 facets a different way.
