WHERE THIS SMELL APPEARS

One profile can belong to many routes.

These links are editorial navigation across the public atlas—not live graph scores.

IN FRAGRANCE & SPACES

Lavender is a reference in curated scent directions.

Directions cite canonical smells as descriptive references, not product recommendations. Fragrance-free is always a valid choice for a space.

SCENT DIRECTION · FLORALSoft Floral

Petal-led direction kept soft and airy rather than dense or heavily sweet.

Open direction ↗SCENT DIRECTION · HERBALHerbal / Clear

Leafy aromatic herbs and cool plant references with a clear, restrained profile.

PROFILE NOTE

Lavender can sit between floral, herbal and cultural ideas of cleanliness or rest.

EVIDENCE MATTERS

A profile can contain different kinds of knowledge.

SmellBook separates cultural association, community perception, verified evidence, prediction and experimental relationships rather than presenting them as the same thing. Read the evidence guide ↗ See evidence coverage ↗
