How to Choose the Perfect Fragrance

## Understanding Fragrance Notes Every fragrance is composed of top, middle, and base notes that unfold over time. Understanding these layers helps you choose a scent that you'll love all day. ### Top Notes The initial impression — light, fresh, and evaporate quickly. Common top notes include citrus, herbs, and light florals. ### Middle Notes The heart of the fragrance that emerges after the top notes fade. Roses, lavender, and spices are typical middle notes. ### Base Notes The foundation — rich, deep notes that linger for hours. Woody, musky, and vanilla notes anchor the fragrance. ## Testing Tips Always test a fragrance on your skin rather than paper. Your body chemistry affects how a scent develops. Wait at least 30 minutes before making a decision.
