Inside the Notes: What Makes our Perfumes Bloom
Top notes
If we’re sticking with the theatre analogy, these flighty thespians open the show with a bang. They’re the fresh first impression, but being smaller molecules, they’re pretty volatile, throwing a diva tantrum and flitting off stage (evaporating from your skin) around 15 minutes later.
Popular top notes tend to be citrus, fruity and green.
For example, our happy-making ‘Always July’ boasts zesty and tropical top notes of lemon and frangipani, AKA pure joy.
Middle notes
Also known as the heart notes, they deliver a well-rounded performance with depth, stealing the show effortlessly once the top notes have made their swift exit. Commonly floral notes or fruity notes, they linger on the skin for longer (potentially an hour or more), but take their bow just before curtain down…
Popular middle notes tend to be floral, spicy and herbal.
For example, our walk-in-the-wild ‘Love Tangle’ boasts sweet outdoorsy middle notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and wild rose – a summer’s-day scent that will get nostrils twitching.
Base notes
The grand finale base notes set the foundation for your fragrance, and seeing as they’re typically rich woods, could be compared to the stage itself. These larger molecules won’t fly off your skin too quickly, and as a result, that opulent “stage smell” will linger long after the audience has left and the theatre has closed (until you take a shower, that is).
Popular base notes tend to be woody, resinous and musk.
For example, the base of our soulful ‘Slow Exhale’ boasts rich woody notes of palo santo and sandalwood. Gorgeously grounding, with long-lasting impact.
