In perfumes that we often use in daily life, notes are the stage of opening the fragrance in perfumes. The first time you apply the perfume to your body, the fragrance you hear is the top note of the perfume. You can get an intense smell of perfume on this note. The top note is the first fragrance heard in perfume, but since it is made with volatile essences, you may not smell the same smell after a while.
Quite a great importance is attached to the top note from perfume marketing and sales. The effect of the top notes during use is quite small. When buying perfume, it will be quite wrong to choose perfume according to the top note. The scents used in the top note are often blended with citrus or ginger scents.
Another note found in perfumes is the middle note. After the perfume is sprayed, the middle note appears with the dissolution of the top note. The effect of the middle note can last for several hours. We can say that the layer that makes the perfume appreciated and determines the character of the perfume is the middle note. The middle note is also called the heart note. It places the most pronounced form of perfume fragrance on the skin. The middle notes usually contain floral and aromatic scents.
Finally, another note in the perfume is the lower note. The lower notes add richness to the perfume. Usually the lower notes appear a half-hour after the smell is squeezed out. The sub-note, which is more dominant in density, appears when the middle note begins to disappear. The bottom note reveals the true smell and true character of the perfume. The sub-note is also called a footnote or base note.
