The top note is noticeable immediately after the first few minutes, once the fragrance has been dispersed through the rattan sticks or ceramic flowers. Since the top note is the first to be perceived, it shapes the initial impression you get from a fragrance. The heart note can only be detected in the hours after the top note has evaporated and represents the individual character of the respective scent. The base note is the longest lasting and allows the fragrance to fade softly and pleasantly.
