What are base notes anyway?
When buying women’s perfumes or men’s cologne how many times have you wondered “just what are notes anyway?” Well it is obviouse we are not talking about music. Notes are used to describe the various scents of a perfume or cologne. Let me explain what I mean.
Top notes is the first scent you smell and generally last maybe 30 minutes because they evaporate rather quickly. Top notes are very important in making a first impression. Middle notes, may be also referred to as heart notes, thes are not as strong or dramatic as top notes and also don’t appear until about 45 minutes after application. Base notes is the grand finale of every good cologne or perfume. The base notes are the ingrediants that hold everything together. Musk is a common ingredient in base notes.
