Use Plain Words Instead of Perfume Scores
Plain words can make fragrance notes more useful than a number whose meaning changes each day. The aim is to remember an impression clearly enough to compare it later.
Read the note ↓
NOTE 01
Identify the samples
Choose one properly identified finished product and a suitable paper sample. Write the source, date, and observation time before describing it, keeping verified product information in a separate area of the page.
NOTE 02
Observe separately
Write three ordinary words that fit your own perception. Avoid choosing words just because they appear in the maker’s description. If a word is vague, add a short example of what you mean.
NOTE 03
Compare deliberately
Add one sentence about your preference, such as wanting to revisit the sample or preferring it alone. Leave room for a later observation rather than trying to compress every response into a score.
NOTE 04
Record a conclusion
Review the note after a break and keep what remains understandable. Subjective language is not an ingredient declaration or a promise about safety, popularity, quality, or how a scent performs on skin.
Before you go.
What is the most useful detail to remember?
A short explanatory sentence can be more memorable than a numerical rating.
What should I establish before starting?
Choose one properly identified finished product and a suitable paper sample. Write the source, date, and observation time before describing it, keeping verified product information in a separate area of the page.
