How a Fragrance Unfolds
A fragrance is not a single smell but a sequence — three layers that reveal themselves over hours, not seconds.
Top Notes
0 – 15 minutesThe first impression — bright, volatile molecules that evaporate quickest. They're what you smell in the first seconds after applying, and what draws someone in before the fragrance has settled.
Heart Notes
15 minutes – 3 hoursThe character of the fragrance, once the top notes fade. Florals, spices, and softer woods emerge here — this is the note people associate most with 'what' a fragrance actually is.
Base Notes
3 hours – overnightWhat lingers on skin and fabric long after the rest has faded. Heavy, slow-evaporating molecules — ambers, musks, woods — that give a fragrance its lasting signature.
