How do you recognize the notes of perfume?
Orice parfum are trei componente individuale, numite și note de parfum, care împreună formează o piramidă olfactivă, un întreg aflat într-o armonie completă. Există trei note de parfum – vârf, mijloc și bază, care se completează reciproc în cadrul fiecărui parfum.Fragrance notes: Classification
Top notes
You have probably bought a perfume and after a whole day of wearing that perfume, you doubt your decision. Most perfume purchases are made after smelling the top notes - these are also the main notes that perfume manufacturers focus on because they create a first impression that attracts attention. So, the first thing you smell in any perfume is the top or opening notes. These evaporate quickly, being replaced by the middle notes, also known as heart notes.Examples of top notes used most often: are lemon, magnolia, peach, bergamot, and orange.
Middle notes
About 15 minutes after the perfume has been sprayed, the middle notes appear. Unlike the top notes which are more intense to attract attention, the middle notes are more subtle and are released slowly. Specialists claim that these notes actually represent the identity of the perfume. If you opt for a quality perfume, you can enjoy the middle notes for up to four hours.Examples of middle notes used most often: are violets, orchids, jasmine, rose, and lily of the valley.
Base notes
The base or base notes appear after about 30 minutes of spraying and blend harmoniously with the middle notes. They have the role of giving the perfume resistance and fixing the combination of middle notes. In a quality perfume, these base notes can even accompany you for a whole day.Examples of base notes used most often: are musk, vetiver, amber, tobacco, and vanilla.
IMKER car or home fragrances are built on these principles of perfumery (top, middle, and base notes) to benefit from all the qualities of the essential oils in the composition and provide a refined and persistent perfume experience. For example, the Blavet aroma, which is the best-seller in the AromaNatural perfume category, contains:
Top notes: lemon, orange
Middle notes: rose, jasmine, gardenia, lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, cedar wood.
Base notes: vanilla, musk, sandalwood, amber
It is one of the most balanced aromas, preferred both for perfuming the car and for the home or business premises.
The main types of perfumes according to the olfactory family
The classification of perfumes is mainly done according to the olfactory family, that is, according to the ingredients used in their creation and how they were combined. Next, we will discuss the most important types of perfumes and their characteristics!Woody fragrances
Woody fragrances are preferred by most men because they are elegant and have the ability to outline confident masculine energy. Fresh, mysterious, sensual - that's how the essences and aromas of the perfumes in this category are described. The base notes in this case are sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, oak, pine, and other conifers. Taming these notes is done by adding fruity, aromatic tones as middle notes.Top 3 IMKER woody fragrances: Escley, Misterioso, Alpin
Citrus fragrances
When we talk about citrus perfumes, we are actually talking about fresh perfumes, which give you a big dose of energy. Choose a car air freshener from this category, which has mandarin or orange as base notes, and you will see that you will arrive at the office every day with a smile on your face and ready to work. Such a perfume is meant to instantly change your mood. It is one of the most used types of perfumes by women, especially inside the home.Top 3 IMKER citrus fragrances: Blavet, Amorio, Citrus.
Sweet perfumes
Sweet perfumes are not for everyone - for example, people who prefer fresh smells will not go for sweet perfumes. Perfumes in this category usually have vanilla as their top note, and a floral and musky base note to achieve a balanced scent. So if you like those heavy vanilla scents, sweet scents are most likely for you.Top 3 IMKER sweet perfumes: Misterioso, Confession, Aurore SPA
Floral perfumes
Floral perfumes are feminine and are associated with elegance and sophistication. These floral fragrances either focus on a single scent, such as magnolia, rose, or lilac or are designed as a floral bouquet that delights your olfactory senses. The perfumes in this category (and here we mean room or car perfumes) are perfect for the spring season, for the moments when you want to bring nature inside your car or home.Top 3 IMKER floral perfumes: Magic, Diamond, Kalia
Fruity perfumes
If we had to describe these fruity perfumes in one word, we would say romance. They are extremely popular among women because they have a pleasant and subtle smell, slightly sweet due to the combination of fruits used in their creation. But men also prefer them, often associating them with the classic bubble gum flavor. Most of the time, we find apple, mango, peach, or forest fruits as base notes of fruity perfumes.Top 3 IMKER fruity perfumes: Garcia, Papaya, Angel
Oriental perfumes
If you like the smell of musk, then oriental perfumes are for you. It is said that these oriental perfumes are mostly used to seduce or attract someone's attention. Perfumes in this category are easy to recognize – it's quite hard to resist the temptation to turn your head after a person who wears such perfume. The most common notes, in this case, are musk and amber.Top 3 IMKER Oriental/Arabic fragrances: OUD Amir, Magic, Confession
Aquatic perfumes
Aquatic (marine) perfumes are relatively new and contain essences that make you think of the beach and sea air. Freshness is the best word to describe this fragrance. Most often, lotus or seaweed are used as base notes.

The importance of choosing the right perfume scent
It is important to correctly choose the perfume that surrounds you throughout the day, from the classic perfume that you spray on your skin, to the room or car air freshener. You've probably noticed that when you go into a space where an intense scent predominates, which is not exactly to your liking, your mood changes instantly, and sometimes, even headaches appear. Although the connection between a headache and the intensity of a perfume is still not 100% clear, it seems that a much stronger smell than what you are used to stimulates the nervous system, and not in a very pleasant way.That's why IMKER devices for professional perfumery are appreciated because they can be programmed through a dedicated application so that they respect your intensity preferences. Professional car air fresheners have between 1 and 4 levels of intensity, professional room diffusers have between 1 and 10 levels of intensity, and professional air fresheners for commercial spaces allow the setting of a large number of diffusion programs, which ensure efficiency, and persistence of the perfume and consumption reduced by perfume.
A perfume that represents you has the ability to energize, relax and give you all the confidence you need. If you carefully read the information above, it will be much easier for you to identify the types of perfumes that suit you and make the best purchase decision.
