Words that make an impression legible
Useful aroma writing starts with descriptive language, such as citrus, wood or herbs. State whether the note concerns a whole flower or ground material, and separate personal observations from a producer’s description.
From description to claim
Do not turn an aroma description into a confirmed compound identification. Claims about individual terpenes should link to the relevant analysis and sample. Uncertainty always has a place in the record.
Keep the small details
The record separates whole-flower and post-grind aroma, then first hit, mouthfeel and exhale by method. Aftertaste, lip sensation and dental afterfeel prevent small details from disappearing into broad words such as fragrant or smooth.
