What are fragrance notes?

Fragrance notes are the individual scents that, layered together, form a complete perfume. Perfumers structure them into three tiers — the olfactory pyramid — so a scent reveals itself over time, from the first spritz to the lasting dry-down hours later.

Details

Understanding notes helps you shop with intention: once you know you love a creamy sandalwood base or a bright bergamot opening, you can find every fragrance built around it.
