how do you smell? Flashcards
learn how the nose smells, how perfume works, and how it can be changed
What is the nose?
the prominent structure between the eyes that serves as the entrance to the respiratory tract and contains the olfactory organ
How does perfume (stages) work?
it’s manufactured to have definite smells in a 3-stage process
What is the first stage of perfume? How long does it last?
during the first stage, you smell the Top Notes (interest/stimulating notes to grab attention); about 15 minutes
What’s the second stage of perfume? How long does it last?
In the second stage, the Heart Notes (main notes/memorable notes) are smelled; after 3-4 hours
What is the third stage of perfume? How long does it last?
The Base Notes are what stick to you the longest (the end result/outcome); after 5-8 hours
How do the perfume stages increase/decrease duration?
The stages happen as the perfume evaporates, so the base and its evaporation time matters; also how you apply it affects the evaporation speed
Does the body’s state affect the duration of the perfume?
Yes; cool and oily skin will last a little longer than hot and dry skin
