What is a fragrance note?
A fragrance can consist of up to 1000 different ingredients or 'notes', which like a piece of music are designed to work together harmoniously. When describing the character of a certain scent the description will focus on just the key ingredients, those that best interpret the overall personality and will quickly give an overall impression.
Ingredients that are used in perfumery will vary in terms of volatility or their lasting power. Citrus scents for example are extremely effervescent and highly volatile and are often used as top notes to form the first impression. Base notes on the other hand have far more staying power, usually the sensual spices or woods, which eventually form the dry-down or more lasting impression of your scent.
The top note
The first impression of a fragrance and the first phase in the life of a scent. Made up of lighter, more volatile ingredients such as citrus and fruit.
The heart note
Following the first few minutes of the burst of top notes, the middle notes start to develop on the skin and the heart of the fragrance is revealed. Within the heart of a fragrance you are likely to find floral, spicy or herbaceous ingredients.
The Base note
The base notes have the greatest staying power, the fragrance journey ends at this stage with lingering ingredients such as woods or resins which hold the fragrance to the skin.
