# Scent profile

Chapter 10 of the Decant user guide.

The **Scent profile** block tells a shopper how a scent behaves. It's a product page block in `product` and `product.oil`, and you can add it to **Featured product**. It's built from these parts, in this order:

1. **Notes**: three paper strips of stepped length, laid like a fan: Top, Heart and Base. The top strip's tip takes the scent's family tint.
2. **Accords**: bars with pointed ends, with the percentage printed beside each.
3. **Longevity and sillage**: "About 8 hours" with a ruler of 12 ticks, and Intimate, Moderate, Strong or Enormous with four hanging strips.
4. **Seasons and times**: small plain chips.
5. **Layer it with**: up to three of your other scents, each with its image, notes and "From $7.00" price.

Chapter 7 explains how to fill in each metafield.

**Each part shows only when it has data, and with no parts the whole block disappears**, heading included. So a product with no metafields is safe on any template, and you can fill in your catalogue a little at a time. In the theme editor, a product with no data shows a full sample so you can see the layout. Shoppers never see that sample.

For **Layer it with**, sold-out products are left out and don't use up a place, and the first three that can be bought are shown.
