What Are the Main Types of Fragrance Notes?
The major types of fragrance notes are:
- Floral
- Oriental
- Fresh
- Woody
What Are Top, Middle, and Base Notes?
- Top Notes: The first impression of a fragrance when applied to the skin. These lighter, volatile scents evaporate quickly, typically lasting between 5 to 30 minutes.
- Middle Notes: Known as “heart notes,” they form the essence of the fragrance. These develop after the top notes fade and generally take 10-30 minutes to fully unfold, representing the fragrance family (floral, oriental, chypre, etc.).
- Base Notes: The heaviest and longest-lasting notes, which also act as fixatives, slowing the evaporation of lighter notes. Common base notes include oakmoss, patchouli, woods, musk, and vanilla.
What Is the Difference Between Parfum, EDP, EDT, Aftershave, and Cologne?
These terms indicate the strength or concentration of fragrance oils. Higher concentrations typically result in a stronger scent and a higher price. However, different concentrations may also have distinct notes, not just varying strengths. Here’s a basic guide:
- Extract/Solid Perfume: 20-30% fragrance oil
- Perfume: 15-25% fragrance oil
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): 8-15% fragrance oil
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): 4-8% fragrance oil
- Cologne (EDC): 2-4% fragrance oil

What Is a Fragrance Tester?
Testers are 100% authentic, fresh, and original fragrances that are used in stores for promotional purposes. These testers are identical to the retail versions but may come in simpler packaging without decorative caps. They are often sold at lower prices due to the lack of packaging, but the product quality remains the same.
Can Perfume Last All Day?
Perfumes typically last between four and six hours, but this can vary based on ingredients and skin type. For example, dry skin tends to absorb fragrances quicker, causing them to dissipate faster. Here’s the typical breakdown of scent longevity:
- Top Notes: Last about 5-15 minutes.
- Middle Notes: Can last 2-4 hours.
- Base Notes: Usually last 4-6 hours, lingering the longest.
Why Do Fragrances Smell Different on Different People?
Each person’s body chemistry is unique, which affects how fragrance notes react with their skin. Factors such as hormones, stress, mood, diet, and medications can all influence how a fragrance smells on an individual.
Why Does Fragrance Contain Alcohol?
Alcohol helps fragrances diffuse into the air, allowing the scent to be noticed by others. It also acts as a binder for the various ingredients in the fragrance. As alcohol evaporates, it helps release the fragrance notes into the air, making the scent noticeable to those around you.
