If this is one of the "best known perfumes in the world," why does it have such a tiny article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.74.231 (talkcontribs) 05:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Michelia

edit

I would like to point out that fragrance designers claim to include certain flowers but they make it so vague as to what variety or species it is. Michelia is a former genus but includes very different smelling flowers. Michelia champaca is quite different in scent from Michelia alba (former names here). Some of them even go as far as to include flowers that don't have discernible scents (Vera Wang claiming calla lily). Their scent descriptions may mention a genus but we here should not use what they say as fact. It is important to note that those are their claims and their "jasmine" or their "rose" is very ambiguous and could refer to dozens of different types. I think it is wrong for an encyclopedia to claim that is exactly what they use. What we should do is write it in the article as "these are the flower essence claim to be used". Unless we have a lab tested result with detailed analysis of the ingredients, I don't think we should list the flowers included as fact, but as what the fragrance designer claims to be in use.
