Notes

Olfactory notes

The raw ingredients of fragrance. A perfume unfolds in three layers — top notes (what you smell first, fading in 15–30 min), heart notes (the character that develops over the first few hours), and base notes (the lasting dry-down that stays with you all day). Pick a note to find every perfume that features it.

Notes are more specific than accords. “Rose” is a note; “floral” is the accord family it belongs to. Browse by accord →
