AROMATHERAPY
DEFINITIONS:
When we talk about notes - what
are they? Not the do, re, mi
as in musicals! They are the Top, Middle
and Base notes.
A top note is the first impression of
the smell of the oil.
Top notes are difficult to reporduce,
it usually fades quickly.
A midnote - is the main fragrance of the
oil. It last longer
han the top. It's easier to reproduce
artificially.
Base notes - also called the dryout not
- as it is the
last "part" of the oil to linger for aroma.
