1. Types of Perfumes (By Concentration)

Perfumes vary by oil concentration. The more concentrated, the longer and stronger the scent.

2. Fragrance Notes: How Perfumes Are Built

Perfumes develop in three stages:

• Top Notes: First impression (e.g., citrus, herbs)
• Heart Notes: Main scent after dry-down (e.g., florals, spices)
• Base Notes: Long-lasting foundation (e.g., wood, musk)

Fragrance Pyramid: Top → Heart → Base
