What’s a fragrance note?

Ever wonder why a fragrance might smell one way at first, but then slightly different later? It’s all in the fragrance layers!

1. Top notes
   These give the first impression, and while they warm away the fastest., They’re the reason why you’re originally drawn to the fragrance.
2. Mid notes
   These make up the heart of the fragrance. Mid notes last longer than top notes and are what ultimately make you fall in love with a scent.
3. Bottom notes
   These are the longest-lasting notes and what you smell hours later. They’re why you purchase a fragrance again!

Find your perfect fragrance match!

Follow these simple steps to find your new must-have scents:

1. Understand your taste.
   Which fragrances do you already love? Not sure? Finding a fragrance you’ll treasure is about more than what smells good. Great fragrances change how your space makes you feel. Think about the feeling you get when warming certain fragrances. Do you want your home to feel warm and welcoming? Energizing? Nostalgic? If you aren’t sure where to start, try smelling testers at a Scentsy party!
2. Identify your fragrance family.
   Find the fragrance family with the scents you crave. The fragrances within each family have notes that connect them to one another. If the notes of one fragrance inspires a feeling that you enjoy, there are likely other fragrances within that family that will do the same. Find out which notes inspire you and investigate the fragrance family they’re related to.
