Share
Choosing a fragrance is a deeply personal experience. The right scent can transform a space, evoke cherished memories, and create an atmosphere that reflects your personality and mood.
Whether you prefer fresh and uplifting aromas, warm and comforting notes, or sophisticated woody blends, understanding fragrance families can help you discover a scent you'll truly love.
Understanding Fragrance Notes
Most fragrances are built in three layers:
Top Notes - These are the first scents you notice when lighting a candle. They are often light and fresh and create the first impression.
Heart Notes - Also called middle notes, these form the character of the fragrance and emerge after the top notes soften.
Base Notes - These are the deepest and longest-lasting notes, creating warmth and depth within the scent.
