Perfume Pyramid
The fragrance pyramid is a model that outlines the evolution of a perfume's scent. It starts with the top notes, which are the initial scents that hit the nose immediately upon spraying. These are typically fresh, light aromas such as citrus and herbs, and they evaporate quickly. Following the top notes are the middle notes, or the heart of the fragrance, which surface once the initial burst fades. These scents are softer and rounded, often floral or spicy, and linger longer than the top notes but are not as persistent as the base notes. Finally, the base notes, which develop last, provide the deep, enduring fragrances that ground the perfume, using scents like wood, resin, and musk. These layers work in harmony to create a complex and memorable olfactory experience that evolves over time

Guerlain’s masterpiece, Shalimar, was one of the first oriental fragrances in history, demonstrating Jacques’ daring and innovative approach to perfumery.
