NOTES Notes are the many different ingredients within a perfume that combine to realize its distinct scent. These notes are arranged in three layers that reveal themselves slowly with the passage of time.
1.Top Notes:They are the first impressions you experience upon spraying a perfume. Top notes are strong and prone to instant evaporation. They are designed to attract immediate attention and impress the wearer.
2.Middle Notes:Middle notes are known as the heart of a perfume. They are designed to ease the transition from the heady and vibrant top notes to the deep and solid base notes. Middle notes are usually pleasant and balanced.
3.Base Notes:Base notes are the last to emerge and form what is the final “scent” of a perfume. They are rich and heavy notes that are designed to stay on the skin for a long time. This is most probably what you’ll express to others during the day.
CATEGORIES Perfumes are also categorized according to their use, functionality, and composition. Let’s take a look at some of the most commonly used categorizations for perfumes:
Concentrated Perfume Oil: Concentrated perfume oils (CPO) or attars are the purest form of scented products. They are made up of more than 30% fragrance concentrates. They have strong, attractive scents that last for a long time.
Eau De Parfum: Eau De Parfums are some of the most commonly used type of fragrances among women. They contain around 15% – 20% perfume essence. They also offer a long-lasting scent, while costing less than CPOs.
Eau De Toilette: The most common perfume type among men, Eau De Toilettes contain about 8 – 15% fragrance concentrates. They’re able to deliver a nice and embellishing scent without being overbearing on the senses.
Eau De Cologne: Eau De Colognes are made up of 1% – 3% fragrance concentrates and offer fresh, vibrant and youthful scents that make them perfect for use during spring or summer.

I love the quality of the oils. The fragrances are long lasting. I gave 4 stars because there was only 36 vials instead of 40. Perhaps the packer felt entitled to keep 4 for themselves.
