Learn the commonalities of the perfumes you own and identify your bespoke perfume preferences
Think about a time when you impressed others with your enchanting fragrance. And what is that one perfume that always makes you feel good about yourself?
When you love a perfume, you not only feel more confident wearing it, but you also become curious about what makes it special and why it suits you so well.
Many fragrance enthusiasts love Fragrantica, an online perfume magazine and community that shares reviews and discusses perfumes. One of the most interesting features of Fragrantica that you should try is ‘Perfume Search’ and ‘Notes’.
These features allow you to seek interpretations about the perfume products, particularly as their main accords, ratings, notes identification, etc.
Therefore, search for the ingredients contained in your favorite perfume via Fragrantica. Then, pay attention to the common factors they share, especially their fragrance accords and top-middle-base notes.
By noting this essential knowledge before coming to NOTE’s DIY perfume workshop, you can easily identify the vibes you desire for your bespoke perfume bottle and the specific notes you want it to have in your fragrance blend.
Understand the Top, middle, and base notes to select scents that suit your style
Making bespoke perfume is not about mixing whatever scents you like together. Without considering suitable top, middle (heart), and base notes, the fragrance mixture may lack necessary depth, balance, and emotions.
Based on the perfume pyramid, DIY perfume-making pretty much relies on incorporating all 3 layers among the top, middle (heart), and base notes, while ensuring balance and longevity. Hence, this helps transform your perfume from a simple aroma into more rounded and captivating scents.
What is Top - Middle - Base Notes?
Top notes are the very first scents you’ll smell, creating a perfume’s initial impression. They represent lighter notes in the perfume pyramid.
Top notes are fleeting yet impactful, often including fresh, citrusy, or soft floral opening like bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, etc.
Middle notes appear once the top notes fade, forming the heart of a perfume and anchoring its character and personality. They are often described as ‘mellow’ and ‘balancing’, neither fresh nor deep.
Middle notes are mostly floral, which are common as rose and jasmine, but sometimes can be fruity like apple or spicy like pepper.
Base notes have lasting power, providing depth and lingering on the skin for hours. They consist of heavier notes in the perfume pyramid that are woody, ambery, and warm.
For example, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, and tonka bean are the common base notes, ensuring the fragrance evolves beautifully and improves its wear time.
