Perfumes consist of layers of scents. When you spray or sample the first scents you notice are called the top notes. These are the lighter scents and typically only last a few hours. After the top notes, come the hearts notes. Somewhat deeper than the top notes, the heart notes may last until the end of the work day. They help give a perfume a fullness. The final scents are the bass notes. These form the foundation for a discount perfume and are the longest lasting scents in a fragrance. These will last well into the end of the day.
When a discount perfume is designed, it is developed in reverse order from how it well be smelled. The bass notes are decided first. There are many standard formulas for the bass notes. These are the deepest, strongest scents in a discount perfume and often include musks, aromatic woods or stronger floral scents.
After the bass notes have been selected, the heart notes are decided. Selecting the heart notes for a discount perfume is usually a process of choosing a few scents from single scents like bergamot or english tea. These heart notes fill out the scent of a discount perfume and give it a roundness. You could say that they are the harmony of a perfume.
Finally, the top notes are selected. The top notes in a perfume typically last 2-4 hours. The top notes are what you smell first when a perfume is sprayed. The top notes do the most to express the discount perfume"s personality. One could say that the top notes are a perfume"s melody.
The process of designing a perfume takes a great deal of skill and training in the French method of layering various scents. Those trained in the method often try to create a personality or in the case of a celebrity fragrance, express the personality of the celebrity. Fragrances are created and mixed in the reverse order that they are perceived when they are smelled. Designing a discount perfume is in many ways similar to composing a piece of music with the bass notes, heart notes and top notes all contributing to create the final piece.
