floral notes

Perfume's petal essence

Floral notes are scent characteristics reminiscent of flowers, used especially in describing perfumes, wines, and teas.

A wine might have floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle.

The term belongs to the vocabulary of sensory evaluation, where complex aromas are broken into identifiable components.

Notes here means distinct qualities within a blend, as in music.
