Scents Profiles Explained
SCENT NOTES
A note is a way to describe scents that you smell when you burn a candle. Fragrance notes fall into one of three groups, top notes, middle notes, and base notes.
-
TOP NOTES:
These are the first notes you sense when you smell a candle or perfume. These notes introduce the candle fragrance and are the first experience of a candle when you smell it unlit.
-
MIDDLE NOTES:
The middle notes of a fragrance are a bit more complex and full bodied than top notes. They are often the superstar of a fragrance blend, providing balance and harmony to enhance the top or bottom notes.
-
BASE NOTES:
Bottom notes are the heavier, longer lasting notes. These notes bring balance to a blend by weighing it down and rounding out the experience, tending to linger long after a candle has been blown out.
