Perfume Notes Explained: Top, Heart, and Base

Ever noticed how your perfume changes after a few hours? That’s the power of fragrance notes—the layers that make a scent evolve over time.

The Three Types of Notes:

• Top Notes: First impression (citrus, herbs)

• Heart (Middle) Notes: The core of the fragrance (floral, spicy)

• Base Notes: Long-lasting depth (musk, wood, amber)

Understanding notes helps you choose scents that truly last and match your mood.
