The Expanded Scent Pyramid™

EVERY NOTE, IN PERFECT ORDER.

WHAT IT IS

What is the Flory Scent Pyramid (Expanded)™? This is your fragrance, deconstructed. The Flory Scent Pyramid organizes a perfume’s notes into three layers: Top, Heart, and Base—and highlights the most dominant notes in each. It’s a clear, structured way to understand how your scent unfolds from the first spray to the final linger.

WHY IT'S UNIQUE

  • Uses verified expert data—never community guesses
  • Displays full note breakdown for each layer
  • Boldly highlights the dominant note per section
  • Visual pyramid layout mimics the scent’s lifecycle
  • Clean, editorial formatting—easy to scan at a glance

HOW TO READ IT

The pyramid is divided into three sections:

  • Top Notes (5–15 mins): First impression
  • Heart Notes (20–60 mins): Core identity
  • Base Notes (6+ hours): Lasting memory

Each section lists all known notes, with the most dominant shown in bold.

HOW IT HELPS YOU

  • Learn how your fragrance evolves over time
  • Identify which layer resonates most with you
  • Recognize patterns in your favorite notes
  • Compare note profiles across perfumes
