Decoding Fragrance: Understanding Top, Middle, and Base Notes

In the intricate world of perfumery, discerning the individual notes within a fragrance is a skill that elevates the sensory experience. Understanding the components of a perfume allows you to appreciate its complexity on a deeper level. Every fragrance tells a story through its layers of scent, starting with the top notes. These initial impressions, like the opening lines of a tale, are light and fleeting, showcasing bright and invigorating aromas such as citrus and herbs. Lasting just 15 minutes to an hour, they pave the way for the heart of the fragrance. In Our perfume Path of Lemons the top notes sparkle with bergamot, grapefruit, and tangerine, leaving a trail of zesty brightness in their wake. 

Enter the middle notes, the heart of the narrative. Here, the scent blooms with depth and character, offering a balanced blend of floral, fruity, or spicy aromas. These notes linger for several hours, weaving a captivating story on the skin, much like the main melody in a symphony. In our perfume Path of Lemons the middle notes are comprised of delicate floral accents—orange blossom, lavender, and iris—that evoke the beauty of a sunset over the Amalfi Coast.

Finally, we reach the base notes, the foundation of the fragrance. These rich, enduring aromas—often woody, musky, or resinous—anchor the scent, leaving a lasting impression that lingers for hours or even days. Together, these notes create a captivating olfactory journey, from the initial spark to the enduring embrace.In Path of Lemons Here, amidst the fading light, you encounter notes of cocoa and leather, adding warmth and sensuality to the olfactory tale.
