Perfumes And The 3 Notes

Not a lot many people know that a perfume does not have just 1 note, but has 3. A Top Note, Middle Note and a Base Note with each as important as the other. When you go to buy a perfume in person and spray it on the tester strip what you smell if the Top note, on the basis of which you generally make the decision of whether to buy that particular perfume or look for another one.

However, the actual smell of any perfumes takes time to come forth, so let us take a look at these notes:

Top Note

This is the very first scent that one’s nose picks up after you apply the perfume on the body or an object.

Generally, the scent of the top note lasts for 1 hour.

Middle Note

The Middle Note also known as the Heart Note, is the scent that is exuded when the perfume blends with the skin which means it takes time to truly come out.

Generally, the middle note lasts for 2-3 hours.

Base Note

Base Note is what makes the perfume last, the mix of the Base and the Middle Notes is what makes the actual fragrance of any perfume.

In general, the Base Notes are stronger in nature and give the perfume its lasting effect.

Different Type Of Perfumes

Generally, the perfumes are categorized in three, namely, Eau De Parfum (EDP), Eau De Toilette (EDT), and Eau De Cologne (EDC).

The difference between the three is the concentration of perfume oil in the perfume. The higher the concentration of perfume oil, the longer it will last. Having said that, the concentration of the perfume oil does not command the fragrance, or even how strong or mild the perfume smells.

Let’s see the concentration of fragrance per category:

Eau De Parfum

These are with the higest concentration of perfume oil, the concentration could range anywhere between 15% to 20%.

Eau De Toilette

These are the generally assessable perfumes and have a concentration of the perfume oil anywhere between 5% and 15%.

Eau De Cologne

The third is Eau De Cologne, and they have the lowest concentration of perfume oil ranging between 2% and 4%.

How To Apply Perfume?

It is commonly seen that people apply perfume on their clothes, however, every brand advises that perfume should be applied to your body parts such as neck and the wrists or even behind the ears so the perfume can actually contact with your skin and the sweat.

Additionally, while applying the perfume always keep a distance of 5 inches to 7 inches between you and the perfume bottle.

How Much Of Perfume Should You Apply?

With perfumes, always remember, less is more and abide by it, always. Emptying the bottle in one go will not make the perfume last longer, there is only as much perfume your body part can retain. Additionally, the additional perfume will wear off even quicker.

The number of sprays you will require depends on the body heat, the warmer the body the fewer sprays you will need.

Trick For Buying The Right Perfume?

Buying the right perfume is possibly the easiest thing to do given you know what to do. You enter a mall or the shopping centre, go to the perfume counters first, get 4-5 options and smell them, but do not throw them.

Now get the rest of your work done, shop, eat and complete other work, then in the middle smell the tester strips again, and then again when you are done with all the other tasks. This will give you an idea of the Top Note, Middle Note, and the Base Note of the perfume and tell you exactly how a perfume will mature over time.

You can finalize the perfume you want, and also compare the in-store prices with online platforms, and buy the one you feel is perfect for you.
