STATE TRANSFORMATION

Fresh vs Aged

Time can move a smell from bright and newly made toward dry, mellow, oxidized or memory-rich territory.

Freshness is contextual

Fresh can refer to newly baked food, newly washed fabric or recently cut plant material.

Paper, leather, food and fragrance materials can change with time and storage.

If age meaningfully changes perception, the state should be visible in the name or context.
