Top Notes : These are the initial scents you smell when you first lighting your candle. They are vibrant and fresh, setting the tone for the fragrance journey ahead.
-
Middle Notes : Also known as heart notes, these form the core of the fragrance and emerge once the top notes have dissipated. They provide depth and fullness to the scent.
-
Base Notes : These are the foundation of the fragrance, appearing once the middle notes have faded away. Base notes are rich, warm, and long-lasting, anchoring the entire scent profile.​
