Based on Brianna Arps, perfumer and mood founders, it is important to first understand what makes a fragrance. “Most perfumes and fragrances have three layers with top, middle and bottom notes,” she says. “Top notes are the ingredients of a perfume that you smell first. They’re a prelude to what’s to come, if you will. They tend to evaporate quite quickly, giving way to middle notes— The ‘heart’ or ‘body’ of the scent—to grow and take center stage.
