A fine fragrance tells a story in three parts. Understanding this structure will change how you experience perfume.
The Top Notes
The immediate scent. Usually fresh, light, and citrusy. They evaporate within the first 15-30 minutes.
The Heart (Middle) Notes
The core of the fragrance. Often floral or spicy, they emerge as the top notes fade and form the character of the scent.
The Base Notes
The foundation. Deep, rich notes like Oud, Amber, and Vanilla that linger for hours and anchor the entire composition.
