arrangement Explanation: From a perfume description: fragranze come arie d'opera, componimenti intessuti con maestria di note scelte a una a una in uno spartito di materie prime nobili e ricercate. Fragrance notes are commonly associated to musical notes. For spartito I would suggest arrangement, not score. Example sentence(s):

composition Explanation: Just throwing this out there as an alternative. "Composition" similar to how composition is used in music. |

perfume Explanation: Obviously it depends on the overall register of your text, however given the more "pragmatic" nature of English, I would go with your own idea of simply using the word "perfume". I don't think the idea of a musical score or arrangement translates here at all. |

Reference: Perfume "notes" Reference information: The basic elements of every fragrance should be thought of as musical notes that together comprise a symphony, not of instruments but of exquisite scents that blend and linger in the air. As in the notes of a song, these aromatic notes are vital to the composition of the fragrance and each has its own purpose in regard to the totality of the scent experience. https://www.alphaaromatics.com/blog/understanding-the-top-no... |
