Now you may be asking yourself what is a note? I will be happy to tell you!

A Fragrance goes through 3 main stages in which intensity changes and different elements of composition emerge. The stages of a fragrance are top, mid and base notes.

TOP NOTES: get your attention right away. They are strong and make an impression but fade quickly. Common top notes are citrus, fruity and green notes.

MID NOTES: as top notes gradually fade away, a fragrance intensifies and mid notes become apparent. Mid notes appear 10-20 minutes after application. They form the heart and body of a fragrance and give overall character. Mid notes are floral and spices.

BASE NOTES: base notes give foundation and lastingness. They are noticeable 15 minutes after application and the final scent to emerge after application. They bring depth and solidness to fragrances. Base notes are woods, musks, ambers and vanilla.
