The Anatomy of a Blend
Master the art of formulation by understanding the volatility and evaporation rates of your ingredients.
Top Notes
The bright, volatile introduction to your product. These are the lightest molecules that provide the immediate first impression, but evaporate the quickest. Use them to create an uplifting, sharp opening.
Middle Notes
The well-rounded core of your fragrance. As the top notes fade, the heart notes emerge to mask any sharp edges. They make up the main body of the blend and drive the overall theme of the scent.
Base Notes
The deep, heavy finish. These large, slow-evaporating molecules linger on the skin long after application. They act as a fixative, anchoring the top and middle notes to prevent them from fading too quickly.
Pyramid Placement
In custom formulation, Gurjun Balsam serves as a remarkably tenacious Base Note (The Anchor). Composed of large, heavy resinous molecules, its woody aroma acts as a powerful fixative. It latches onto your lighter, more volatile citrus and floral notes to extend their lifespan on the skin, while giving the overall blend a sophisticated, creamy, and earthy depth.
