Essential Oil can be combined using a three-note structure to build a balanced and pleasing blend of oils. The top note touches the sensibility first and vanishes in a few moments. The middle note or heart of the blend, sets the theme for the fragrance. The middle note scent can last for hours. Finally, the bass note or dry-out note provides depth to the fragrance and might linger for several days. Bass notes act as a foundation to a blend.
Bass notes are earthy, woodsy smells and are grounding to the spirit. Without a bass note, a perfume will not last. Some typical bass notes include amber, angelica, beeswax, benzoin, frankincense, ginger, myrrh, orris, patchouli, vanilla and vetiver.
Middle notes are called bouquet or heart notes. The middle note is the scent that unfolds a few moments after the application of a perfume. Middle notes tend to be herby and flowery and weave the top and bottoms notes together. Some typical middle notes include carnation, cinnamon bark, clary sage, clove bud, gardenia, honey, jasmine, pine, orrisroot, rose rosemary and ylang ylang.
Top notes are the peak fragrance and serve as a first impression. Effective top notes are delicate, light and fresh and are usually sweet, fruity or spicy. They brighten the senses and spark the attention. Some typical top notes are basil, clary sage, coriander, juniper, lavender, lemon, lime, neroli (orange blossom), and spice oils.
