Choosing perfume when you dislike a note

For an olfactory preference, you can exclude pages listing the note you dislike. Its absence from the pyramid does not, however, certify an ingredient’s absence. This method concerns taste rather than formula verification.

Prices and availability observed in the catalogue on . Check current values on the product page before ordering.

Write exactly what you exclude

I prefer to avoid a rose note is addressed through the pyramid; I need to verify an ingredient requires labelling and appropriate product information. Keep these requests separate. Do not complete pages from a name or family either.

Add a positive preference to an exclusion

After an olfactory exclusion, add a preference such as citrus or lavender to narrow the options. Read the examples’ notes instead of inferring a guaranteed absence. If the request concerns an ingredient, the pyramid alone does not answer it.
