收藏级｜香氛气味描述术语大全

1．ACIDIC（酸性香调）

Acidic means a fragrance note that smells sharp and somewhat pungent. Acidic notes may help boost a citrus note or impart natural qualities.

“酸性”指的是一种闻起来尖锐且略带刺激性的香料特征。
酸性香调，有助于提升柑橘类香气的清新感，或为香氛赋予更自然的质感。

PS：在调香学中，”酸性”并非指化学酸碱值，而是描述一种具有穿透力的鲜活气息。这种香调常见于：柑橘类香料（如柠檬、青柠），

未成熟水果的青涩香气，某些草本植物（如番茄叶、青草），通过微量使用可增强香水的层次感和天然生命力，如同烹饪中柠檬汁提鲜的效果。

2. ALDEHYDIC 醛香

Aldehydes vary: the more diluted they become, the greater the difference in smell. An overarching description is one of clean ironed linen.

醛类物质特性各异：稀释度越高，气味差异越显著。其整体香感可概括为洁净的熨烫过的衬布气息。醛香可细分为柑橘调、臭氧调等更具体的香型。作为天然存在于橙花油、玫瑰油等植物精油中的有机化合物，其在香精中的用量相对较低。
