The top notes contain ingredients that will be immediately revealed in the first few minutes after igniting the house perfume. This fragrance note is very dominant and is therefore meant to grab your attention. In addition, the top notes exude the first impression of the fragrance. After about ten minutes, these scents fade into the background and this fragrance note will hardly be smellable in your living room.

Base notes are all the ingredients that remain after the heart notes have largely disappeared. Therefore, these fragrance notes will only reveal themselves after two hours. In addition, base notes linger in your living room for a long time and constantly give off a scent. An example of typical base notes are different woods or spices.
