 What are base notes in perfume, and why do they matter?

Base notes are the long-lasting scents that form the foundation of a perfume. They are typically composed of heavier, slower-evaporating molecules, which means they take longer to develop and can linger on the skin for hours or even days.

Why do they matter?

Foundation and Depth: Base notes provide the foundation and depth of a fragrance. They create the overall character and mood of the perfume.

Longevity: As they evaporate slowly, base notes contribute significantly to the longevity of a fragrance.

Warmth and Sensuality: Many base notes are known for their warm, sensual qualities, such as amber, vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. These notes can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to a perfume.

Complementary Roles: Base notes often complement the lighter top and middle notes, creating a harmonious and balanced fragrance.

like in our perfume tripsy, base note are B.vetivar and Rosemary.
