Black cologne top notes

Top notes, sometimes referred to as headnotes, form the top layer of a fragrance. They are the scents you detect first after spraying a perfume. These play a role in setting first impressions and shaping a fragrance's story.

Top notes usually evaporate quickly, lingering for only the first five to fifteen minutes. Their main purpose is to give off an initial scent and then transition smoothly into the next part of the fragrance. As a result, top notes generally consist of lighter and smaller molecules.

Citrus scents are commonly used as top notes, such as lemon, orange, and bergamot. Light floral scents like lavender and rose are also often used, as are basil and anise.

Middle notes, or heart notes, are the "heart" of a fragrance. They are a liaison between the top and base notes, adding depth to the scent. They are also a buffer for the base notes, which may not smell as pleasant on their own.

Middle notes are usually well-rounded and pleasant. Their aroma lingers longer than the top notes before introducing the base notes. They include oils with an herbal aroma or floral notes.

In the Black Cologne by Womo, the middle notes are jasmine, juniper, and clary sage. Meanwhile, the middle notes in Man Black Cologne by Bvlgari are orange blossom and tuberose.

Popular base notes include vanilla, amber, musk, patchouli, moss and woody notes like sandalwood and cedarwood.
