Perfumes – in the triad of chords

With different fragrance components, however, scents can be developed, even composed. It is not without reason that a fragrance mixture is created on the basis of a triad consisting of three levels in the form of the so-called fragrance pyramid.

The fine tuning of these three fragrance notes is decisive for the soul of a perfume. Comparable to music, a harmony is composed of fragrances which, and their different ingredients and characteristics, to create a harmonious whole.

The Top Note

The Top Note conveys the very first impression of the fragrance and causes an immediate sensation. Fragrance molecules, the so-called monoterpenes, are very volatile, they evaporate after only a few minutes. Top Notes are citrus scents such as bergamot, verbena, rosemary, myrtle or mandarin.

The Heart Note

The Heart Note as the middle note gives the perfume its characteristic scent. It is sensed as soon as the top note has dissipated. However, its aroma also disappears after a few hours. Typical Heart Notes are camomile, ylang ylang or rose.

The Base Note

The Base Note is in your conscious perception the longest-lasting fragrance, which even intensifies over time. While the Top and Heart Notes have already dissipated, The Base Note determines whether the perfume is ultimately successful. These oils usually have a woody scent, sweet or earthy. In addition to Atlas-cedar and patchouli – musk, sandalwood or vanilla are also well-known.
