PERFUME
Perfume is a product made up of essential oils, alcohol and water used to provide a pleasant scent. Fragrances can be obtained from flowers, fruits, woody plants or synthetic components in nature.

Perfume Notes
Perfumes consist of 3 different layers:
Top Note: These are the scents felt when first sprayed (citrus, spice, fruit).
Middle Note (Heart Note): These are the notes that form the main character of the perfume (flower, spice, fruit).
Base Note: These are the most persistent notes that give the depth of the perfume (woody, musk, vanilla, amber).

Things to Consider When Choosing a Perfume
Your skin type and body chemistry can affect the longevity of your perfume.
Scents can be perceived differently in the morning and evening, so give it time to test.
Spray it on your skin and wait at least 30 minutes so you can understand its real scent.
Choose seasonally: Light and fresh scents are preferred in summer, and intense and warm notes are preferred in winter.
