Finding the perfect fragrance can be a daunting and difficult task. Often you have an idea of the type of scent you are looking for but once you enter a perfume shop and find dozens of different aromas swirling around you finding that perfect perfume can be difficult. One way of avoiding this is to create your own fragrance using essential oils.

Each type of note lasts for a different length of time after the perfume is applied. Base notes generally awaken about 30minutes after the perfume is applied and they are the scents that will remain for the rest of the day. Usually these are the rich and earthy fragrances such as vanilla and sandalwood.

Top notes are the sharp initial scents that will hit you as soon as the perfume is applied. These scents usually only last for a few minutes before giving way to the lingering middle and base notes. These are often fruity fragrances like lemon, mandarin and grapefruit.
