Botany / scents
German term or phrase: Duftpalette
Es geht um einen Text über die Düfte von Kamelien (etwas ausgesprochen Seltenes).
"Bedenkt man noch die Intensität eines Duftes, ist er schwach oder stark ausgeprägt, lässt sich die ***Duftpalette*** der Kamelien durchaus sehen."
Gemeint ist also die Bandbreite der bei Kamelien vorkommenden Düfte.
