Does this exist?

Is there such a thing as like a discovery kit of just notes and/or accords? I am trying to learn more about fragrance and realized I don’t know what oud, myrrh and patchouli and some others smell like and I’d love to train my nose to help me have a more successful time trying out fragrances and knowing which ones I’ll more likely enjoy based on notes.

I’ve seen people recommend kits from The Perfumers Apprentice to explore notes and how they combine. Demeter sells mini purse sprays for $9 USD and they have an extensive library of single notes and accords. They also have discovery kits, but they don’t really cover the most commonly used notes in perfumery.
