barley

Barley reaches the nose mostly through what is done to it. Malted and kilned for beer and whisky, it smells of biscuit and toast, and roasted whole for the barley teas of Japan and Korea it turns nutty and coffee-like. In perfume barley stays warm and grainy, a malty sweetness less bready than wheat, suited to rustic gourmands and pipe-tobacco accords.

How this is calculated

Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.

Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
