A Note About Notes
Another way to classify fragrances is by their volatility (evaporation process). Every fragrance is different. Some have stronger top notes, others have stronger middle or base notes.
Top notes are the most volatile oils. They provide a strong initial impact and evaporate quickly. Citrus oils tend to be top notes. Some fruits are also top notes.
Middle notes are less volatile. They are not as strong at first, but they take longer to evaporate. Middle notes remain detectable in the air – longer than top notes. Florals tend to be middle notes, as well as some fruits and spices
Base notes are the least volatile and longest lasting. They are subtle, yet steady aromas that linger through the end of the fragrance life. Base note oils are mostly woods and some spices.
