choose 1-2 of each

Top Notes are your first impression, what grabs you first.  Giving the fragrance its initial sparkle, they are usually light and bright and designed to capture your attention but they fade within 5-15 minutes. 

Heart Notes are the soul of the scent. They are your core identity. Richer, balanced, longer lasting. You will smell them for the majority of wear time.  the emotional character of your creation.  They last between 1-4 hours. 

Base Notes are your lasting impression, the foundation of your scent.  They are deep, rich, and long lasting.  These notes ground your creation and give it depth and complexity.  This is the memory of perfume that stays with you and will last for hours on end.
