A scent profile is a detailed description of the various aromas and fragrances that make up a particular scent. It often includes notes that can be categorized into three layers: top notes, middle notes, and base notes. Top notes are the initial scents perceived, while middle notes emerge after the top notes fade, and base notes provide depth and longevity to the fragrance. Scent profiles are commonly used in the perfume industry, as well as in the creation of scented products like candles and essential oils. Understanding a scent profile helps consumers identify their preferences and choose products that align with their desired olfactory experiences.
