What are perfume Notes?
Perfume tones are the components that make up a perfume. They were categorized as top notes (citrus, lavender), heart (cinnamon, jasmine) and base notes (vanilla, musk).
This carefully selected mixture of ingredients forms a perfume chord, the basic characteristic feature of a perfume. Perfume Brands carefully select tones to ensure that the perfume is pleasant and evokes the experience. The notes are included in the perfume pyramid.

Perfume tones can be divided into three basic categories: top tones, heart tones and base tones. Banknotes at the top of the pyramid have higher volatility (evaporate faster), while banknotes at the bottom are more durable.
What are the top notes?
Top notes, sometimes called head tones, form the top layer of the perfume. In other words, top notes are scents that you first notice after spraying perfume. It plays a role in creating the first impression and shaping the story of the perfume.
The top notes usually evaporate quickly, lasting only the first five to fifteen minutes. Their main purpose is to provide the first scent and then to transfer it smoothly to the next part of the scent. As a result, top notes often consist of lighter and smaller molecules. Some common top notes include citrus scents - such as lemon, orange and bergamot - as well as bright floral tones such as lavender and roses. Basil and anise are more often used as top notes.

What are Heart Notes?
As the name suggests, heart tones include "heart" scents. Their function is to preserve some of the top scents and at the same time introduce new scents to deepen the experience. Sometimes called midtones, the heart also serves as a buffer for base tones that they may not feel on their own.
Because they make up about 70 percent of the total odor, heart tones usually last longer than high tones. The heart appears when the upper tones begin to disappear and remain visible throughout the life of the scent.
The heart contains whole body, fragrant flower oils such as jasmine, geranium, neroli and ylang-ylang such as cinnamon, pepper, pine, lemongrass, black pepper and cardamom.
Basic notes
Together with the middle tones, the basic tones become the basis of the scent. They help enhance lighter tones while adding more depth and resonance.
Because they form the basis of the perfume, the basic tones are very rich, heavy and long-lasting. They start after about 30 minutes and work with midtones to create a scent. As the underlying tones fade in your skin, their scent remains at the highest level and can last for six hours or more.
Popular base tones include vanilla, amber, musk, patchouli, moss and wood tones such as sandalwood and cedar. description of basic notes
How do you recognize perfume tones?
You can identify perfume notes by the time that has elapsed since the perfume was applied. Top notes are the ones you feel right after the perfume first touches your skin. When this first burst disappears, the essence of the perfume begins to form heart tones. The basic Notes are the scent that will last the longest and which you will remember the most. Each note adds a specific quality of scent. Some of the most common categories of fragrant tones include fresh, floral, herbal, fruity, woody and musky, each of which is often used in specific tone categories. For example, fresh and floral scents are almost always top-notch, while woody and musky scents are usually found at the bottom of the music pyramid.
