After getting my first Jo Malone last week, I started getting curious with their fragrances and was seeing their products online. I saw the terms "top notes", "heart notes" and "base notes". Sounds like some musically stuffs to me which I have completely no idea what they are trying to say.
So I decided to do a Google of it and thanks to NMdaily, I finally understand this fragrance language.
According to the site:-
Top notes: The first impression of a fragrance, which generally last for half an hour.
Heart notes: The scent of a fragrance that emerges just prior to when the top notes dissipate in approximately four to five hours.
Base note: The longest lasting note, which appears close to the departure of the middle notes. The base and middle notes together are the main theme of a fragrance. Base notes bring depth and solidity to a scent.
After reading this, I finally understands why my perfume doesn't smells the same after a few hours, it's due to the different notes. Of course, our body chemistry plays a part as well.
