Have you forgotten how it is with notes in perfume? We have listed it for you.
A perfume consists of different notes or fragrance components. A perfume that is classically constructed, consists of three different notes:top notes, heart notes and base notes.
1. Top note
This is the first fragrance you smell. This dominant scent often lasts only ten minutes and smells light and fresh.
2. Heart note
After the top note you can smell the heart note. This is the 'real' perfume and you will smell it for four to six hours. It often has a floral scent.
3. base note
You often smell this note for the first time two hours after you have sprayed the fragrance and it appears as the last note. The scent is a bit heavier, more spicy and woody.
This is how you know whether a perfume suits you Before you can properly assess a perfume by smell, it is best to wear it for a day. The perfume changes throughout the day. Although cardboard fragrance strips may seem useful in perfumery, it is really best to test a perfume on your skin. That way you can test how the scent mixes with your natural skin scent. The smell that smells so good on your best friend may just smell a lot less good on you.
