The Heart Note …

…also called bouquet, can only be

perceived some time after the application

of the perfume. It forms the fragrance

character of the perfume that can be

sensed for several hours.

The Base Note …

…also called fond, forms the foundation

on which the perfume is based. It allows

the fragrance to fade out pleasantly,

and can last as long as a whole day. This

note can only be sensed many hours after

application.

But there are also fragrances with a

single fragrance note. Typical examples

of this are lavender or rose water. Both

“waters” result as the by-products of steam

distillation of the fragrance oils themselves.

An additional group is called the linear

fragrances. For these perfumes, the

character of the fragrance does not change

even over an extended period of time. The

fragrance stays on a single “line.”

COCO'S CREATION

Chanel No. 5, the most famous perfume

in the world, was ﬁrst produced in 1921.

It became not only the most successful

fragrance creation, but was also the ﬁrst

one to contain a fully synthetic material,

namely an aldehyde. It also contains natural

ingredients: ylang-ylang ﬂowers are the core

of the fragrance.
