Fresh & Citrus

The volatile top of a fragrance: peel, air, cold and shimmer

fresh 4 facets 771 materials 348 notes

What holds it together

Four facets that share a direction rather than a material. They all move upward and outward, and they all leave first. Citrus and Aldehydic are things you can smell. Aquatic and Cooling are closer to sensations. Together they are what makes a fragrance read as clean, open and awake.

Smells most like

ice - and in the same register, limonene, eucalyptus.

Notes strongest in Fresh & Citrus

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.
