Understanding the material

IFF documents an absolute made from the outer layer of wheat kernels. The material is described through cereal and dried-fruit facets, with apricot and honey associations. Bran absolute is different from wheat flour, wheat-germ oil or a constructed bread accord. A food-related perfume note does not by itself identify the raw material or the finished formula.

A smelling observation

Compare wheat bran with hay, tonka bean and beeswax. Separate cereal texture from almond-like softness and honey-associated warmth.

Explore the relationships

Continue with Hay, Tonka bean, Beeswax. These connections are comparisons for studying finished fragrances, rather than mixing instructions.
