Perfume is built with a layered structure that unfolds over time, creating a complex and evolving experience.
- Top Notes: These are the initial, light scents you smell right away, like citrus or fresh herbs. They are quick to evaporate.
- Heart Notes: The “core” of the fragrance, these notes emerge as the top notes fade. They are often floral or spicy and form the main character of the perfume.
- Base Notes: These are the rich, long-lasting scents like wood, vanilla, or musk. They provide the fragrance with its depth and longevity, often lingering for hours.
