Scent & character
A useful reference for the overlap between floral and citrus impressions. The natural grade cited here has orange-like, rosy and slightly waxy facets. A material name alone does not tell you whether the supplied grade is naturally derived or synthetic.
STUDY PROMPT
Compare linalool, linalyl acetate and lavender separately before combining them. Use the same recorded evaluation dilution so that you can describe differences without guessing at concentration.
Materials to compare
Use these as starting points for separate blotter comparisons and small, documented studies. A pairing is a question to explore, not a finished formula.
Record the exact material
Record the exact supplier product, grade, batch, and stock strength. Materials with similar names can have different composition and performance. Read the supplier documentation for your actual material before handling or using it.
Note placement describes a useful study role, not a precise evaporation clock. Dilution, the surrounding formula, and your own perception affect what you notice.
