Habe die Lösung Nuancen gewählt, weil sie mir in diesem Satz am besten gefallen hat. Weiter unten im Text habe ich dann die Lösung von Miriam (Duftnoten) gewählt, auch um zu varieren, habe aber natürlich nun die ewige Qual der Wahl zwecks Punktevergabe. Da Smarinella am ersten geantwortet hat, und ich in dem von mir angegebenen Satz ihre Lösung gewählt habe, habe ich ihr die Punkte vergeben, obwohl sie natürlich beide verdient haben. Vielen lieben Dank auch an Miriam und alle die mir geholfen haben. Schöne Grüße aus Muc

neutral  smarinella: scusa, ma qui le "cromatiche" sono una licenza poetica, si sta parlando di profumi...

Duftnoten


Explanation:
Per me c'e' un errore in italiano, magari anche voluto, che pero' in tedesco non avrebbe alcun senso.

Ne Farbnuancen ne Farbtöne vanno bene in questo contesto!!!

Chiedi magari al cliente che cosa intendono dire, ma secondo me sono Duftnoten o Duftnuancen

chromatische Noten


Explanation:
Perfumes (or their constituents) are considered to be on a sort of scale with something like musk near the bottom and citrous fragrances rather further up. I do not have native level German, but there are Google hits for Note (and Duftnote) in the context of perfumes, so it would be my guess that one would need to have very good reasons (or preferences) for not using a literal translation.

Dr. Piesse carefully plotted a range of notes, and assigned heavier odors to the low notes and sharp, pungent odors to the high notes. A bass clef D would emit the smell of vanilla, while a treble clef B would shoot out peppermint. He hoped that the odors would blend harmoniously in soft, dreamy compositions, while the smells would be disagreeable in more discordant works. www.oasis-umc.org/library/sermon_archive/2002/March/2002031...
Septimus Piesse endeavoured to show that a certain scale or gamut existed amongst odours as amongst sounds, taking the sharp smells to correspond with h:gh notes and the heavy smells with low. He illustrated the idea by classifying some fifty odours in this manner, mal:ing each to correspond with a certain note, one-half in each clef, and extending above and below the lines. For example, treble clef note E (4th space) corresponds with Portugal (orange), note D (1st space below clef) with violet, note F (4th space above clef) with ambergris. It is readily noticed in practice that ambergris is much sharper in smell (higher) than violet, while Portugal is intermediate. He asserted that properly to constitute a bouquet the odours to be taken should correspond in the gamut like the notes of a musical chordone false note among the odours as among the music destroying the harmony. Thus on his odophone, santa!, geranium, acacia, orange-flower, camphor, corresponding with C (bass 2nd line below), C (bass 2nd space), E (treble 1st line), G (treble 2nd line), C (treble 3rd space), constitute the bouquet of chord C. http://1.1911encyclopedia.org/P/PE/PERFUMERY.htm

The Diatonic Scale: Intervals between notes that form the scale of a particular key are said to be diatonic. This applies to major and minor scales. Notes that are not part of these scales are said to be chromatic - those notes are chromatic notes. http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory11.htm
