READING THE COMPOSITION
Understand this fragrance.
The bouquet starts before the heart
Cassie absolute belongs to the opening here, alongside bergamot and galbanum. That detail changes how the pyramid can be read: the floral theme does not necessarily begin in its middle tier. During a sample, describe how an idea of blossom meets a vegetal or citrus impression. This question helps reveal a construction instead of encouraging you to wait for every listed name to arrive separately, as though the perfume were an inventory.
Different flowers, different textures
Tuberose absolute and jasmine absolute provide two entry points, answered by ylang-ylang, orange blossom, iris butter and rose. Organize your reading around floral volume, outline or powder without assigning these impressions to a known dosage. The sandalwood, oakmoss and musk base offers a second framework: consider whether your description becomes woodier, more vegetal or more enveloping during the sample. Distinguishing texture from the number of flowers makes the comparison more informative.
From tuberose towards iris
Do Son eau de parfum narrows the comparison around tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine, accompanied by amberwood. Iris Poudre shifts the documentary centre towards iris, with rose, violet, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, musk and tonka bean. These detours help choose a subject: a white floral bouquet, or the relationships between iris and woods. Number One’s particular interest lies in bringing both routes into the same pyramid while allowing each to remain a separate question.
