cactus flower

Many cactus flowers open only briefly, some for a single night, and the night-blooming kinds are often strongly scented to guide their pollinators in the dark. Lighter than those real blooms, the cactus flower accord is a sheer, watery floral with a dewy sweetness at its heart and a green, stemmy freshness.

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.
