The Pyramid Olfativa

Have you ever wondered why one scent smells richer than another? Here we tell you!
Each scent is built with the help of an "olfactory pyramid", a structure that organizes the notes of each olfactory family into three levels: top notes, heart notes and base notes. This hierarchy determines how fragrances are perceived over time.

Olfactory pyramid

Top notes

They are the lightest, the ones that volatilize first and are responsible for awakening the sense of smell and giving a first impression, during the first 10 to 15 minutes.

The main ones are:

  • Citrus.
  • Green and herbal notes.
Top notes - Olfactory pyramid

Heart notes

More complex and rich in nuances, they form the soul of the fragrance. They are responsible for giving the perfume its identity, personality and character, making it unique and differentiating it from the rest. The heart notes are perceived after the first 15 minutes.

They are distinctive:

  • Flower selection.
  • Variety of fruits.
Heart notes -Olfactory pyramid

Base notes

They are responsible for putting the finishing touch to the aroma. It is precisely the task of these notes to give certain depth and intensity to the fragrances. They usually begin to manifest themselves after the first 2 hours.

Mostly incorporates:

  • Woody notes.
  • Musks.
  • Selected resins.
Base notes - Olfactory pyramid

 

Olfactory families, therefore, not only provide a scent profile but also define the development and duration of fragrances at each stage of the olfactory pyramid.

What makes each olfactory family special?

Each olfactory family has its own set of ingredients and essences that give it a unique personality. The differences between them lie in the aromatic notes that characterize each one.

For example, if you are looking for a feminine fragrance, floral or herbal families are ideal; for a masculine fragrance, woody or citrus notes are usually the preferred choice. Similarly, if a fun scent is desired, fruity notes are usually the best choice.

For room settings, the floral family is perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere; the woody family brings a touch of luxury and distinction; while the gourmand family adds nuances of fun and quality.
