Lavendel

The bees work the same field. Both run on linalool, so the flower is already in the jar.

Linalool cuts mutton fat the way rosemary camphor does, and burns off in a hot oven.

Both Lamiaceae, both terpene resin. Thyme is the brake on lavender going floral.

Both are floral and blue-tasting; the lavender does the acid job by bitterness.

Lavender's linalool needs the lemon's acid under it. Go light or it tastes like a drawer.

Both are mostly linalyl acetate. Use one or the other, never a full measure of each.

Capric funk needs something aromatic and bitter. Honey and lavender arrive together.

Rosemary brings the camphor, lavender the linalool. Use one to hide the other.

Two florals, one bitter and one sweet. Use a quarter of the lavender you want.

Lactone flesh absorbs the resin; the stone fruit keeps it out of soap territory.

Shared linalool, but the fruit is already halfway floral so use a third as much.

Two linalool sources stacked. Go one gram over and the cup tastes of laundry.

Ionones and linalool overlap. Poach the fruit, then pull the sprig out early.

Terpene on terpene. It amplifies the juniper rather than adding a flavour of its own.

Cocoa fat holds the volatiles and the bitterness stops the perfume running away.

Linalool over a bloomy rind. Restraint or it turns to soap immediately.

Sulfurous cassis against linalool; two aggressive aromas cancelling each other out.

Iron-heavy dark bird takes a resin herb where chicken would just taste perfumed.

Linalool sits on the floral top note the skin already has. Two buds, not ten.

Floral against iron. Two pinches in the rub; three and it is soap.

One flower in the butter, no more. Sweet protein carries linalool for two seconds.
