Top, Heart and Base Notes, Explained
1
Every perfume tells its story in three parts. Here is how to read them.
2
Top notes are what you smell first, like citrus or mint. They fade within minutes.
3
Heart notes come next, often flowers or spices, and they shape the scent for hours.
4
Base notes stay the longest. Think woods, vanilla, amber and oud.
5
That is why you should never judge a perfume in the first minute.
6
Spray, wait an hour, then decide. Save this for your next shop visit.
