Before you get started, let’s take a look at the notes that make up a cologne.
Top notes quickly evaporate as they make initial impressions and are usually the first things you smell.
Middle notes follow quickly after the top notes, tend to be mellow, and create the core of the scent.
Base notes are the lingering scents that ground and complement the other notes and are what you smell at the end of the day.
