Only the Nose Knows





Greetings Grayce here!

Now smell this!!! 

Scents are very personal we all gravitate towards specific scents – only the nose knows

personally I love scented body gels

I prefer warm musky scents also a touch of lavender will do just fine

whichever you prefer they can be uplifting or relaxing.

Your own body chemistry affects how different notes react on your skin.

There are three different notes

top, middle, and base notes

Top notes provide the first scent impression of a fragrance once it has been applied to the skin. They are usually lighter, more volatile aromas that evaporate readily. Their scent usually lingers for between 5 and 30 minutes.
Middle notes, sometimes referred to as “heart notes”, make up the body of the blend. They may be evident from the start, but will usually take 10-
30 minutes to fully develop on the skin. They are the notes that classify the fragrance family (floral, oriental, chypre, etc.

Base Notes, are those with the greatest molecular weight. They last the longest, and are also important as fixatives, that is, they help slow down the evaporation rates of the lighter notes, giving the fragrance holding power. Common base notes include oakmoss, patchouli, woods, musk and vanilla.
A fragrance which does not have traditional top, middle and base notes is usually described as “linear”.

My favorite scent whether it be the shower gel or fragrance I just love it I mean love it!!!!!
