Stuck for the right word to describe a flavor or aroma? Author Margo Bond Collins recently shared on Facebook this wonderful infographic that promises to help! I’m not quite sure where I’ll use alliaceous or enzymatic but there are enough adjectives here to satisfy even the harshest (alkaline, caustic) of critics.

Reading Louise Penny’s A RULE AGAINST MURDER in which she describes dining delights throughout, sending me to the fridge every 15 minutes, LOL! Questioning my own talents in this area, I receive your blog post and VOILA! LOVE your chart!!! FABulous!!!
Yay! Thank you for the tasty (ha!) comment 😀
Concurring with Jennifer about the chart! Thank you, Nicholas!
It would be very nice if you could kindly provide a weblink to the original webpage containing the chart by Margo Bond Collins.
Speaking of flavours and aromas, here is a special post published on one of my websites at https://queenslandorchid.wordpress.com/2015/05/30/the-scents-and-smells-of-orchids/
Thank you for the link! As for the chart, I wasn’t able to provide a link as I usually do because Margo shared it on Facebook; not on a website. I saved the image but was unable to find the original post afterwards. Still, you can check out her blog on https://margobondcollins.com/
Hi Nicholas and Jennifer,
If/When you come across any infographics, charts, wheels and/or tables on floral fragrance in general and/or orchid fragrance in particular, please kindly notify SoundEagle.
Thank you in anticipation.
I’ll be sure to share. Have you googled it?
I have, but so far anything substantially adequate or relevant has eluded me.
To clarify further, I am looking for something that could be included in my long post at https://queenslandorchid.wordpress.com/2015/05/30/the-scents-and-smells-of-orchids/
It is the most comprehensive post of its kind I have ever seen! I didn’t even know that orchids are fragrant, so that shows you how much I know…
Thank you, Nicholas. It would be very nice indeed if you could also provide your comment(s) or feedback on the post at its comment section.
Now that you know something about orchid fragrance as a result of reading the said post, perhaps you might already have a few ideas about what fragrant orchids to look for as gifts. 🙂
Indeed–and done 🙂
A wonderfully creative and useful infographic.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly 🙂
Adding this to my collection of helpful tools acquired from this site!
Aw, you 🙂
Fab infogrphic. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks! I thought so, too 🙂
😉
Another great piece of information. You know you are stuck with me….you are now officially my mentor. 🙂
Lol – there are far worse things to be in life than mentor to a talented author 😀
The flattery will get you anything. ?
What a great and visual way to describe various tastes and aromas like a wheel. This will definitely come in handy.
Yay! Thank you, Linnea 🙂
I’m a scientist – I love charts and grafts. This is terrific!
Lol – here’s to the scientific method 😀
Thanks to Margo and Nicholas for this great infograph chart. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thank you, Suzanne 😀
‘Pungent’ is a great word indeed. One of my favourites, along with ‘Fondle’.
(I didn’t spot “Tasted like Bat droppings” though. I think they missed that one.)
Best wishes, Pete.
Perhaps bat droppings are an acquired taste.
Awesome! Thank you!!
Thank you, Luna! Apologies for the slow response; WordPress, in its infinite wisdom, had placed your comments in my spam!
Great display of tastes and aromas, Nicholas. This will come in useful. 🙂
Thank you, D! To me, too 🙂
