The aromatic pyramid?
Have you ever noticed a different scent after purchasing a perfume? Or liked a perfume on someone else, but when you bought it, you found the scent different? This is not a coincidence, it is what is called the "fragrance pyramid."
In this article, we will briefly talk about the fragrance pyramid in Mirror perfumes.
Perfume in general, whether niche or designer perfumes, is a complex composition of carefully blended ingredients. The perfume pyramid is the model used in the world of perfumes to describe the composition of the perfume and its various details. This model is considered fundamental in the world of perfumes, as it helps to understand and analyze perfume compositions.
The fragrance pyramid consists of three main parts:
-
Introduction : The first part of the fragrance pyramid, also called the top note. It consists of intense scents that give the perfume an initial and temporary character that lasts about 10 minutes. It contains volatile scents that evaporate quickly such as citrus scents, citrus fruits, hot spices and gentle herbs.
-
Heart : The second part of the fragrance pyramid, also called the middle note. It consists of balanced and harmonious middle notes, and usually appears 15 minutes to half an hour after spraying the perfume. The heart consists of floral notes, mixed fruits, spices, warm herbs, and aromatic plants, and lasts longer than the top notes.
-
Base : The last part of the fragrance pyramid, also called the base note. It consists of heavy, warm scents that last for a long time, and it is the original scent of the perfume itself and appears an hour after spraying the perfume. The base usually consists of woody, animalic, amber and vanilla scents, and we often express the base by saying "let the perfume cool down."
Finally
Knowing the fragrance pyramid is useful for understanding and distinguishing between different perfumes. You can use it to determine which perfumes are suitable for the different activities and occasions you will wear this perfume for. It also helps you analyze a specific perfume and understand its composition and the different scents it consists of. At Mirror Perfumes, we care about producing perfumes with great professionalism to be perfumes that match international brands in quality and distinctive ingredients.
