What holds it together

The split is water. Green is a plant that has just been cut: bitter, wet, sharp. Aromatic is a plant that has dried in the sun: resinous, warm, calm. Almost every classic masculine fragrance is built on the second.

Smells most like

grass - and in the same register, birch leaf, thistle.

Notes strongest in Green & Aromatic

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
