The Art of Fragrance—Understanding Perfume Notes
Ever wondered why your perfume smells different after a few minutes of wearing it? That’s the magic of perfume notes. A well-crafted fragrance reveals itself in stages: top, heart, and base notes. At Samist, each fragrance is a carefully composed symphony.
Top Notes are the first impression. They’re light, fresh, and instantly noticeable. Think of citrus, herbs, or light floral tones. Fragrances like Smart and Ocean carry refreshing top notes.
Heart Notes form the soul of the perfume. They emerge once the top notes fade and are usually floral, fruity, or spicy. Melody and Sofiga are great examples of beautifully blended heart notes.
Base Notes are the lasting impression. They appear last but linger the longest, often being warm, woody, or musky. Royal and Woody offer powerful base notes that stay with you for hours.
Apply perfume to pulse points—like your wrists, neck, and behind the ears—for maximum effect. Remember, your body heat helps release the layers over time.
