You know that fragrances have their own olfactory notes . Our brain is responsible for recognizing and classifying odors because our limbic system is really very important. We perfumers call it the olfactory brain because it can trigger magical emotions and feelings. We are going to explain to you what the olfactory pyramid is and how to interpret it. The olfactory pyramid of perfumes As you well know, a perfume does not have the same aroma and intensity throughout the day, the fragrance evolves and its characteristics can change. In fact, the olfactory pyramid refers to this process of aroma and explains how some smells give way to others. Exit This is the first contact we have with the perfume. The top notes are the first to reach our nose and for that reason they are usually the lightest and most volatile. When testing a perfume, it is the first thing we are going to smell and for that reason we wait a few moments to be able to check its evolution. To create a good scent, you can use citrus and very fresh aromas, since they announce the perfume's own character and their notes are quite cheerful. Heart Certainly, what defines the general character of a perfume is its heart. There are different bases such as oriental, aromatic or woody and it is true that to perceive these scents from the heart of the perfume you must let some time pass. It depends more or less on the product, but some notes can be detected from the beginning. Without a doubt, the heart base is the part of the perfume that we will perceive most intensely two hours after applying it and what most identifies a perfume. Background These types of notes serve to set the perfume so that the scent lingers without being too cloying. The most frequently chosen scents to set the levels described above are musk, patchouli and moss. These are scents that can last all day even after the perfume has worn off. The general levels of this pyramid are what determine the type of perfume and thus know how it is perceived throughout the day.

When you mention the word patchouli, most people make a strange face. “ What is that?” - they ask themselves. And it is normal that we do not know all the flora that surrounds us. If you are one of those who do not know what patchouli is, do not worry, in this article we reveal all its secrets, as well as which are the best patchouli perfumes . What is patchouli? Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) is a plant of Indonesian origin that, thanks to its strong and intense essence, has become one of the most exquisite ingredients in the world of perfumery. And it is not just any ordinary plant, but one that has a fascinating history. Its use dates back many centuries, when silk merchants from the East wrapped their luxurious and delicate fabrics in dried patchouli leaves so that they would not be damaged during transport to Western countries. As weeks passed until they reached their destination, and its scent is very enveloping and intense; fabrics were impregnated with it, it was inevitable to wear a silk garment that did not exude the scent of patchouli. This is how patchouli began to be associated with luxury and exclusivity. From the 18th century onwards, it began to become more popular in the West, extending its use to other areas such as masking odours or its incorporation into essential oils. It also became a symbol of the hippie movement that took place in the 60s and 70s of the last century. Nowadays, its use is widespread in the world of perfumery, due to its great personality and the richness and complexity it brings to a fragrance. It is a key ingredient in perfumes from the Chypre olfactory family. The smell of patchouli is earthy, with nuances of wood, cocoa and tobacco.
