It is like saying "a painting is a blend of colours" and "music is a mixture of sounds".

Which of course is true, but only on a very superficial level. But just like painting and music,

perfume must have life and feeling. There is a synergy in the mixture of materials that tells a story or

maybe reflects personality and character. Yes, a perfume is a picture painted

in smells and has notes and tones like music and art.

Luca Bossi believed that perfumery is a living art.
