Top Notes: These are the scents that you notice immediately after applying the fragrance. They tend to be light and refreshing, often citrusy or herbal, and include notes like bergamot, lemon, or lavender.
Middle Notes: Also known as heart notes, these develop after the top notes fade. Middle notes are the core of the fragrance and can include floral or spicy scents like jasmine, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
Base Notes: These scents emerge later, as the fragrance settles on the skin. They are usually deep and long-lasting, providing the foundation of the fragrance. Common base notes are musk, cedarwood, sandalwood, or vanilla.
