PIRÁMIDE OLFATIVA DE LA FRAGANCIA COMPLETA

Spanish to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty Fragrance pyramid
Hi,

I'm translating some market material from Spanish (Spain) into English for a perfume company and am having trouble with the 'completa' in the phrase above.

It appears as the title of a fragrance pyramid document which contains details about the fragrance's notes, fragrance family, recommended time for use and recommended season for use.

I'm unsure about whether 'completa' is meant to go with 'fragancia' or 'pirámide olfativa'. If it goes with 'fragancia', what would be a suitable translation? (If it goes with 'pirámide olfativa', 'comprehensive' or something similar will do the job)

Many thanks :)

You have to assume that it goes with "fragancia", as otherwise it would be "pirámide olfativa completa". And presumably it means "the complete fragrance" rather than the individual ingredients.

complete or entire - if it is meant to describe the fragrance

However, I feel that it is meant to describe the pyramid. I agree that comprehensive or something similar would work there.
