An olfactory pyramid is a description of a perfume's notes: head, heart, and base organize how it is read. It can help you choose, without replacing direct experience and without functioning as a formula for the ingredients.
Three levels for guidance
The head notes tell of the opening, the heart notes the central character, and the base notes the structure that supports the composition. In a room fragrance, the description is a map: not a stopwatch that determines exactly when you will smell each note.
A concrete reading: Notturno
The product page for Notturno indicates lemon and ginger in the head, orange blossom and date in the heart, and cedar, amber, and sandalwood in the base. You can read a path between freshness, softness, and woods. This does not mean that the fragrance is reduced to the sum of these names: their encounter also matters.
Comparing, without looking for the right answer
Take two compositions with a common element. Sandalo Bergamotto and Notturno share citrus and woody references, but develop different hearts. Note which combination intrigues you: more aromatic, sweeter, more floral. Your own words are useful even if they do not match those on the product page.
From the story of the masterclasses to a personal gesture
In its blog, Millefiori presents masterclasses as opportunities to explore families and notes through olfactory listening. From this theme, we take a simple invitation: dedicate attention to the choice. This article does not announce a calendar of KŌDŌ events.
To continue, you can use the guide to olfactory families and visit the brand's history. In the KŌDŌ selection in Turin and online, the pyramids on the product pages allow for a comparison before purchasing.
