As I organize my archives, I would like to bring to your attention another series of articles, this time on fragrance notes and perfume terms. This group of posts is available under the general topic of Perfume Notes as well as on the left side bar.
Benzoin, Styrax, Tolu and Other Oriental Balsams
Carnation: Classical Spicy Floral
Damascone: Rose-Fruity Ingredient
Indole: Misunderstood Floral Note
Lily of the Valley: Fresh Floral
Musk: Salt and Butter of Perfumery
Patchouli: Exotic and Familiar
More Fragrance Notes and Perfume Terms Articles

I really appreciate these articles, especially the recent ones on amber and ambergris which are the clearest on these notes that I have ever read.
Just to let you know that, currently, clicking the Ambergris link, whether in this article or on the sidebar list under Fragrance Note Series, takes one to the article on Benzoin, Styrax, Tolu, etc. rather than the article on Ambergris. (Clicking on the Benzoin, Styrax, Tolu, etc. link takes one to the Benzoin article as expected.)
Thanks so much for all the excellent info on your site. I've been learning a great deal from roving through the archives.

Thanks for correcting the link -- the ambergris article is really worth the read, as are your other Fragrance Note posts.
