Creating a perfume is like composing music or painting a masterpiece. Perfumers, or "noses," use a palette of raw materials — natural and synthetic — to create harmonious blends. Every fragrance is built on three layers: the top notes, which are light and evaporate quickly; the heart notes, which form the core of the scent; and the base notes, which linger and give depth.
Accords are combinations of several notes that form a unified, recognizable scent — like a rose accord or a leather accord. The challenge in perfume composition lies in achieving balance: ensuring that no single note overwhelms the others, and that the fragrance evolves smoothly over time.
Perfumery is both technical and intuitive, requiring deep knowledge of ingredients and an artistic sense of harmony.
