IFRA standards Industry practice limits for many materials — still check your market’s rules.
Retail / duty-free calendars Launch seasons and gift peaks differ by region.
On-pack allergen labeling Legal disclosures live on the product you purchase. Myths vs facts Fragrance is strictly gendered → Marketing genders bottles; structures cross those lines constantly. Higher price guarantees longer wear → Concentration, materials, and skin/climate matter more than MSRP. Atlas notes equal full INCI → Notes are olfactory teaching language, not a complete ingredient disclosure. Deeper FAQ Is this medical or allergy advice? No. Follow clinicians and on-pack allergen labeling.
Do scores rank “best” perfumes? No. They are editorial browsing meters across families and craft dimensions.
Why include culture and market? Wear norms and retail calendars shape what people actually buy and gift.
Can I trust pyramid diagrams alone? Pyramids are teaching sketches; skin chemistry and dosage change the real wear.
Checklist
1 Name occasion and climate before picking a family.
2 Read wear + market, not only icons.
3 Check on-pack allergens for the SKU you buy.
4 Test on skin; paper strips lie about dry-down. Important caveat Not dermatology or allergy diagnosis. Patch-test guidance belongs with clinicians and product labels.
Editor depth Editorial meters compare browsing dimensions (history, craft presence, market noise) — not lab GC-MS rankings. On VS pages, weigh opening brightness against dry-down and wear context, not only top-note drama.
Deeper sources IFRA standards library (industry practice) On-pack labeling rules in your market Commons-licensed bottle / material imagery credits Important caveat Not dermatology or allergy diagnosis. Patch-test guidance belongs with clinicians and product labels.

The florist's knife
Galbanum, snapped stem and tomato leaf smell like the garden before flowers open. Designer greens often sweeten; niche keeps the bitter snap.
IFRA and formulation taste have softened some galbanum loads since the 1970s. Between Grasse feedstock, IFRA limits and the split of niche counters versus designer malls, this family is read as a global grammar rather than a single bottle.
Daylight wear. Night and wool can turn green into ink.

Seven chapters on this family Frequently asked questions What is Green? Galbanum, snapped stem and tomato leaf — the florist's knife and the garden before bloom.
EDP vs EDT — what changes? Concentration is oil in alcohol, not a quality score. EDT (about 5–15%) shows more top; EDP (about 15–20%) shows more heart and base. Houses vary; this is not a lab assay.
How should I wear Green? One or two sprays on skin or cloth — sternum or hair, not a cloud in a lift. Let it turn an hour before you add more.
Which season fits? Spring daylight. Night and wool can turn green into ink.
Does skin chemistry change it? Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter.
What about IFRA and oakmoss? IFRA sets industry limits on some naturals and synthetics. A reformulation is usually a legal edit, not a betrayal. This atlas is not a safety sheet.
Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose.
Is this medical or allergy advice? No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.
