Know Your Fragrances

What is fragrance? 

It is a combination of fragrant notes which are essentially different layers that make up the final fragrance. These scents are generally split into three distinct notes; top, heart and base notes. When mixed, as per the composition, they create  the final fragrance. 

There are four main types of fragrances:

  1. Warm
  2. Woody
  3. Oriental
  4. Fresh

Different fragrances have varied and different effect on your body and mood. Certain fragrances calm your senses while the others could rejuvenate you. Also, depending on your subconscious memory, every fragrance has the power of taking you back into time.
