A white floral, indolic
An indolic white floral: jasmine absolute, its benzyl acetate, a fresh jasmonate and a trace of indole.
Teaching accord A teaching accord for learning: not a Radler formula, not a finished perfume, not safety-assessed; do not make it for skin.
Indole is the lesson: at a trace it makes the flower heady and alive; at more than a trace it turns animal. The trace here is a teaching part, not a measured one.
The record
Each field carries its evidence: open a chip for the source, the quoted words and the confidence. A field with nothing behind it says so and stays empty.

Causal Debugger why did this change matter?
Teaching accord · modeled A teaching accord for learning: not a Radler formula, not a finished perfume, not safety-assessed; do not make it for skin. Everything below is computed by a teaching model from the records: modeled, not measured, and not a prediction of how any real perfume smells. Regulation lines are flags, not compliance advice.
Change one thing and follow it down the chain: the proportions, the molecules, the words on record, a modeled reading, the dry-down, odour activity where a threshold is measured, the regulations, the provenance. Then: why it mattered.
Modeled · before → after
Choose one component and one change: each layer of the chain appears here, labelled modeled, each input with its evidence.
What happens if… every single change, worked out
The same model, run when this page was built. Figures are modeled: parts, and shares per 100 parts; odour space is the share of the accord whose components carry each word; the dry-down uses the half-lives top 1.5 h, heart 6 h, base 12 h (the simulator’s site constants, not measurements); odour activity is share ÷ measured threshold, compared within one medium and unit, never across (a teaching ratio, not a measurement of this accord). This teaching accord is not a finished product and is not assessed. Nothing is for sale.
Double jasmine absolute (×2)
- 1 · Composition
- jasmine absolute 45 → 90 parts (45.0 → 62.1 per 100); the others ×0.69.
- 2 · Molecules
- with jasmine absolute rise indole (no shares on record).
- 3 · Odour space
- “animalic” 45.0 → 62.1, “narcotic” 48.0 → 64.1, “floral” 67.0 → 77.2, “jasmine” 30.0 → 20.7.
- 4 · Perceived character
- A modeled reading, not a prediction: more “animalic” and “narcotic” and less “jasmine” and “citrus”.
- 5 · Dry-down
- top / heart / base 0.0 / 97.0 / 0.0 → 0.0 / 97.9 / 0.0; half gone at 6.0 h → 6.0 h; no class on record, left out: indole. The curve cannot move: every component with a class is heart.
- 6 · Odour activity
- jasmine absolute: no threshold on record.
- 7 · Regulation flags
- The accord’s flags do not change.
- Why did this change matter?
- Components carrying “animalic” go from 45.0 to 62.1 per 100 parts, because jasmine absolute carries it (its descriptors field).
Remove jasmine absolute
- 1 · Composition
- jasmine absolute 45 → 0 parts (45.0 → 0.0 per 100); the others ×1.82.
- 2 · Molecules
- with jasmine absolute leave indole (no shares on record).
- 3 · Odour space
- “animalic” 45.0 → 0.0, “narcotic” 48.0 → 5.5, “floral” 67.0 → 40.0, “jasmine” 30.0 → 54.5.
- 4 · Perceived character

- 5 · Dry-down
- top / heart / base 0.0 / 97.0 / 0.0 → 0.0 / 94.5 / 0.0; half gone at 6.0 h → 6.0 h; no class on record, left out: indole. The curve cannot move: every component with a class is heart.
- 6 · Odour activity
- jasmine absolute: no threshold on record.
- 7 · Regulation flags
- Flags leaving the accord: Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 (labelling of fragrance allergens).
- Why did this change matter?
- It takes the “Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 (labelling of fragrance allergens)” flag (a labelling condition, extended to more fragrance allergens) off the accord: it names jasmine absolute and no other component.
- jasmine absolute carried “animalic” and no other component does on record, so the word leaves the modeled profile.
- Components carrying “narcotic” go from 48.0 to 5.5 per 100 parts, because jasmine absolute carries it (its descriptors field).
Double benzyl acetate (×2)
- 1 · Composition

- Components carrying “fecal” go from 3.0 to 5.8 per 100 parts, because indole carries it (its descriptors field).

- The accord’s flags do not change.
- Why did this change matter?
