Fragrance Notes
The fragrance of a perfume evolves over time, presenting different scents immediately after application, half an hour later, and even hours afterward. This transformation is due to the intricate structure of the perfume, which consists of various aromatic components known as notes. These notes are arranged in a pyramid-like structure with three distinct layers:
- Top notes
- Middle notes, also known as heart notes
- Base notes, often referred to as the "trail"
Perfumers select aromatic oils based on their volatility. Lighter oils evaporate quickly from the skin's surface, causing the scent to fade sooner, while heavier molecules linger, revealing themselves later. This is why some notes are noticeable right away, while others only become apparent as time passes.
