metallic notes

Coins handled for a while leave the fingers smelling of metal, a smell the skin makes itself when its oils react with the metal and break down into potent, mushroom-like molecules with a bloody tang. Perfumery builds the effect from aldehydes and sharp green molecules like those behind the steely side of geranium and violet leaf, and keeps it to traces, since a little already reads as cold steel.

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.
