🌟 INTRODUCTION

Have you ever wondered why a perfume smells different throughout the day? Or why the same fragrance can have distinct aromas on different people? The answer lies in the olfactory notes – the invisible architecture that gives life to each perfume.

At AROMATIC•89• , each Eau de Parfum is meticulously crafted with a complex olfactory pyramid that unfolds in layers, providing a unique and long-lasting aromatic experience. Let's explore this fascinating world!


🔺 THE OLFACTORY PYRAMID: The Three Layers of a Fragrance

All premium fragrances are built on three distinct levels, each with specific characteristics and functions:


✨ TOP NOTES (Head Notes)

Duration: 5-15 minutes

Top notes are the first impression – what you smell immediately when you apply perfume. They are the most volatile and evaporate quickly, but they are crucial for capturing attention.

Features:

  • Light and fresh
  • They evaporate quickly.
  • They create the first impression.
  • Usually citrusy, herbal or fruity.

Common Ingredients:

  • 🍋 Citrus fruits (lemon, bergamot, orange)
  • 🌿 Aromatic herbs (lavender, rosemary, mint)
  • 🍎 Fresh fruits (apple, pear, berries)
  • 🌸 Light flowers (neroli, petitgrain)

In AROMATIC•89• Perfumes: Our Eaux de Parfum begin with vibrant top notes that awaken the senses and invite you to discover the deeper layers.


💖 HEART NOTES (Middle Notes)

Duration: 2-4 hours

The heart of the fragrance is revealed after the top notes evaporate. This is where the perfume's true personality resides – its soul.

Features:

  • More complex and long-lasting
  • They define the character of the perfume.
  • They balance the top and the base.
  • Usually floral, spicy or fruity.

Common Ingredients:

  • 🌹 Rich flowers (rose, jasmine, iris, ylang-ylang)
  • 🌺 Exotic flowers (tuberose, gardenia)
  • 🌶️ Spices (cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg)
  • 🍑 Ripe fruits (peach, apricot)

In AROMATIC•89• Perfumes: The heart notes of our perfumes are carefully selected to create harmonious and memorable compositions that define each fragrance in our exclusive collection.


🌳 BASE NOTES (Base Notes)

Duration: 4-8+ hours

Base notes are the foundation of the fragrance – the most long-lasting and deepest notes. They remain on the skin for hours and create the unique olfactory signature.

Features:

  • Heavy and persistent
  • They fix the other notes.
  • They create depth.
  • Usually woody, resinous or musky.

Common Ingredients:

  • 🌲 Woods (sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, patchouli)
  • 🍯 Resins (amber, benzoin, frankincense)
  • 🦌 Musks (high-quality synthetic)
  • 🍦 Gourmand notes (vanilla, tonka bean, caramel)

In AROMATIC•89• Perfumes: Our base notes are rich and sophisticated, ensuring that the fragrance stays with you throughout the day, evolving elegantly on your skin.


⏰ The Temporal Evolution of a Fragrance

Understanding how a perfume evolves over time is essential to fully appreciating its complexity.

0-15 minutes: Top notes dominate - a vibrant and fresh first impression.

15 minutes - 2 hours: Transition to the Heart - the true personality emerges

2-4 hours: Heart notes in full swing - the perfume reaches its peak.

4-8+ hours: Base notes predominate - a long-lasting and intimate signature.
