Does this exist?

I'm looking for a flavor chart, something where the breakdowns are simple and complex at the same time. For instance-

I notice some flavors are "dominant" like cinnamon, clove, etc. essentially the "main" flavor
Others are utility, and can be used as a slightly dominant, or medium mix, or even to accentuate others, like Strawberry, banana, etc.
And others are accentuate flavors like marshmellow, koolada, champaigne, etc.

At the same time, positive/negative flavor relationships factor in. Strawberry and Champaigne mix well, but strawberry and licorice don't.

So has anyone created a chart that displays the flavors, based on utility, then list "complimentary" flavors with each one?

Not that I have seen... But I have had a pretty good Strawberry/ Licorice once (and I abhor licorice). Once you've played a little and read some stuff here you just "Know" what might, what will, and what will not work. You also get to where you can smell a flavor and guestimate a % to start at.

So I'd suggest using the notes you have. Also, look at food recipes- things like desserts, drinks, fruit salads, ect... will give you an idea of what works "in real life" and adjust from there.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far. Found a few ADV's but always looking for some kind of 'key' to getting it right with less experimentation and wasted product. Most amateur recipes haven't tasted good to me, so I typically avoid them now.

Experimentation comes with the territory... as far as waste I bought some 2mL bottles and mix testers in that... then I know if I want to attempt a flavor in a bigger size or if it's completely junk to me. And with 1mL syringes you can still be accurate down to .5%
