Fragrance Creation

Essentially, you can jump straight to the last two paragraphs to please give me your opinion, it would be greatly appreciated. The leading paragraphs are simply context, anecdotes and rants.

I have always been intrigued by the connection that taste and smell have; after all, smelling is the first taste we get of food. It was just as interesting to learn that fragrance (scent) in natural products like fruits and flowers was in fact an adaptation, or evolution, if you want, that they underwent. Indeed, a better looking (colour) fruit was more likely to be eaten, but fragrance more often than not equally attracted animals that would eat or knock fruits off of their trees and bushes, which increased the reproduction, thus, through natural selection, only the most colourful and fragrant fruits and flowers came to be.

How does this apply to us then? Well, just as flowers that smelled better were more likely to be pollinized and approached by bees and other insects, we can also alter our scent to attract bees and what not. This is one of the many reasons why I gravitated towards fragrances, as I'm sure most of you share this reasoning. I, however, have one more passion: cooking. I believe the two are so closely related that they cannot go without one another, and just like that, my love for gourmand fragrances exploded. 

I am currently studying to be a designer, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved to make things. No matter what it was, I enjoyed the process of creation. Because of that, I went through many phases as a child. First, I wanted to be a blacksmith, then I wanted to learn leather craft, then tailoring. These are all skills that are incredible to know, and as an amateur of crafts, my next attempt is perfume. This is, by far, the most passion I've had for a craft, although I just started to consider making fragrances. Although this is now a branch of chemistry, and if you do want to have a degree in this domain you need a Bachelor of Chemistry, I have a hard time acknowledging it.

Perfumery, like carpentry, or sculpting, forging or painting are all crafts. What I mean, is 200 years ago, when fragrances did not belong to the scientific branch of Chemistry, someone still managed to create them. And just how yes, there are schools to be a carpenter or an artist, I cannot seem to understand why the study of substances and their chemical reactions is essential. 

As I am now taking my first steps into creating a fragrance, I wanted to know what sorts of fragrances you feel like the niche market is missing, and here is my own suggestion for a gourmand fragrance: 

This fragrance would be unisex, as I honestly believe a majority of fragrances should be. The main notes would be Cherry and Chocolate, inspired by the Black Forest cake. Cherry is a strong top note, as for chocolate, it likes to linger into the mid to base notes based on the aroma-chemicals that I have researched. To add some depth to this scent, the heart of this perfume would be accompanied by pine needles and some woody-amber notes.
