Each Mary Kay® fragrance is completely unique. That’s because there are up to 1,000 different ingredients from which to choose, and the combination of selected ingredients varies not only how the fragrance smells but also its “staying power” on the skin. Different ingredients come into play in the fragrance at various stages of the perfume’s life on the skin. Perfumers distinguish between the various parts of the fragrance in the following way: The top note is the first impression of the fragrance. It is the initial impact of the scent on the sense of smell. The middle note, or heart of the fragrance, unfolds and develops a few minutes after the perfume is applied to the skin.
The bottom note is the final impression of the fragrance. It is the most lasting part and can last several hours after the fragrance is applied. Even if two fragrances have identical odour descriptions, they will smell different from each other. The proportions of a fragrance vary to create a unique, complete and different blend.
