top note

Japanese: top note(英語表記)topnote
top note


[Usage]
A blended fragrance is a mixture of several dozen different fragrances, and although each individual fragrance has a different volatility, it is designed to prevent them from volatilizing separately when made into a perfume. It is divided into the top note, which you smell first, the middle note, and the last note, which is the lingering scent. There are fragrances with little difference between these, meaning that the image is consistent from start to finish, and fragrances that allow you to enjoy each scent in three separate parts.
