Scent Guide
A tiny lesson on how scents change over time, so you can shop with confidence.
The 30-second lesson 🧠🌬️
A scent has three moments. It changes as it travels through the air. Think: hello → hangout → goodbye.
Quick note: Top / Middle / Base isn’t “the ingredient”, it’s the timing of what you notice. The same note can show up in different layers depending on how the blend is made.
-
Top Notes (first smell)
Light and bright. You notice these right away.
Common vibe: crisp, airy, energizing
-
Middle Notes (the real vibe)
The main character. This is the scent’s personality.
Common vibe: smooth, balanced, cozy
-
Base Notes (what lingers)
Deep and lasting. These notes hang around the longest.
Common vibe: warm, rich, long-lasting
Easy to remember ✨
Top greets you. Middle stays with you. Base remains.
Triangle view 🔺
The triangle shows how the scent unfolds over time. Notes aren’t locked to one level, it depends on the blend.
Tip: Judge a scent after a few minutes, not just the first sniff.
