So, you need to know that scents are divided into categories like a triangle: top notes, middle notes and base notes and each of them unveils a certain fragrance.

The middle notes represent the floral, the herbal part, the one that comes up after the top notes disappear. They last at around half an hour. It is the strongest part of the scent. The base notes are those vanilla, chocolate, musk, wood, the elements that bring savour to the whole fragrance and contain the largest molecules which means it lasts longer, even up to an entire day.
