SCENTS
Notes are how a fragrance is built, there are 3 types, described as top notes, middle or heart notes and base notes. Each note indicates the scents longevity, similar to when you spray perfume and after a while it smells differently, candles are the same.
Top notes will evaporate first and are usually citrus or light florals.
Middle notes are longer lasting and what you will smell after 30-60 minutes, these are usually stronger florals.
Base notes are the lingering, long lasting elements of a fragrance, they usually consist of the heaviest scents such as sandalwood, oud, vanilla or musk.
