A bouquet can take different shapes

The floral family stretches from fresh rose to expansive white bouquets, with green and powdery impressions in between. To find a direction, identify the texture you want before selecting a flower. Luminous jasmine and a more enveloping jasmine do not provide the same experience, even when both appear under the same note name.

Compare the flower with its surroundings

Notice the woods, musks or fruity accents around the bouquet. They can change its softness, definition and development. Try references separately to keep your impressions clear, then choose the complete composition you enjoy; loving a flower in nature does not mean you must enjoy every perfume interpretation built around that flower.
