TOP NOTES
The top notes form the top layer of a fragrance and are the ones you detect first when spraying on the perfume. Top notes usually evaporate quickly, remaining for the first 5 to 15 minutes. They are the first impression, shape the story and make the transition into the next fragrance note.
Common top notes include citrus scents, as an example in September we have Pomelo and Kumquat.
HEART NOTES
The heart notes make up the middle of the fragrance, their purpose is to preserve some of the top notes' aroma while introducing new scents and deepening the experience. They work as a buffer for the base notes, which may not always smell pleasant on their own. Heart notes make up around 70 percent of the perfume and last longer, from 20 to 60 minutes.
Heart notes are usually full-bodied and aromatic like floral oils; inSeptemberwe have Apple Blossom and Jasmine.
BASE NOTES
The base notes form the foundation of the fragrance and kick in after about 30 minutes after spraying on the perfume. They help carry the other notes, and because they sink into your skin, the base notes can linger for as long as six hours, adding depth and richness.
Base notes are usually smoky, woody and musky, inSeptemberwe have Vetiver Smoke and Guaiac Wood.
