- Top Notes: These are the first sets of aromas that can be smelled in the perfume but do not linger. Some well-known examples of headline grabs include the lemon or bergamot oils and other citrus fruits.
- Heart Notes (Middle Notes): These notes are fully encased in the liquid and are feathery floral &/or herbal oils like lavender, rose or geranium, the oils of heart notes comprise. Only these notes tend to surface when initial top notes fade.
- Base Notes: Base notes are usually the last to evaporate and they are made to help enrich the fragrance. The following are some of the main ingredients that tend to be woody, spicy or musky, sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla which are essential oil extracts.
