contents Femtosecond thermal lens spectroscopy (FTLS) is a powerful analytical tool, yet its application to complex, multi-component mixtures like fragrance accords remains limited. Here, we introduce and validate a unified metric, the Femtosecond Thermal Lens Integrated Magnitude (FTL-IM), to characterize such mixtures. The FTL-IM, derived from the integrated signal area, provides a direct, model-free measure of the total thermo-optical response, including critical convective effects. Applying the FTL-IM to complex six-component accords, we demonstrate its utility in predicting a mixture's thermal response from its composition through linear additivity with respect to component mole fractions. Our method quantifies the accords' behavior, revealing both the baseline contributions of components and the dominant, non-linear effects of highly-active species like Methyl Anthranilate. This consistency is validated across single-beam Z-scan, dual-beam Z-scan, and time-resolved FTLS measurements. The metric also demonstrates the necessity of single-beam measurements for interpreting dual-beam data. This work establishes a rapid, quantitative method for fragrance analysis, offering advantages for quality control by directly linking a mixture's bulk thermo-optical properties to its composition.
