Profile role
How it can shape the fingerprint
In the NOSE model, floral signals soften the profile and add perfumed or blossom-like character. They often appear as a secondary layer rather than the entire profile.
Important boundary
What the family does not tell you
Floral language is comparative and familiar, not a promise that the jar will smell like a single named flower.
