Change of scent 

 A bottle of perfume is not a fragrance that has never changed. A perfume is made of various fragrances. According to the concentration and volatility of each fragrance, it can be divided into three stages: the first taste, the middle taste and the aftertaste over time. The middle taste is the stage that most reflects the characteristics of the perfume. And perfume will have subtle changes according to the influence of individual body temperature, body odor, place, type, time, climate and other conditions. 

The first taste: about 0～30  minutes is the first information revealed by the perfume, that is, when you are in contact with the perfume, you smell it between tens of seconds to a few minutes, and reach the nasal passages. The top note is usually emitted by volatile essential oils, and the taste is generally fresh, mostly floral or citrus aromas. She is like a high pitch suddenly picked up in a piece of music, which immediately attracts people's attention, but the first taste is not the real taste of a bottle of perfume, because it can only last for a few minutes. 

Middle taste: 30  minutes to 3 hours after the first taste disappears, the fragrance starts to emerge. Middle taste is the most important part of perfume. In other words, you put on the perfume with this kind of smell to show people, and use this kind of smell to express your mood, emotions and other information at the time. Therefore, the middle note is the essence of a perfume. This part is usually made of a special floral, woody, and slightly spicy stimulating fragrance. Its scent, whether fresh or strong, must be in perfect harmony with the top note. The blending of the middle flavor is the most important responsibility of the perfumer. In addition to choosing the appropriate combination of fragrances to highlight the characteristics of the perfume, he also needs to think about making the fragrance proper and lasting. The middle-flavored aroma generally lasts for several hours or longer. 

Aftertaste: 3 hours ~ which is what we often call "leftover" fragrance. It is usually composed of a small amount of animal essence and aromatic resins such as cedar and sandalwood. It not only emits fragrance, but also has the function of integrating fragrance. When the aftertaste has just begun to work, it is often not as good as the fragrance, so the mid-taste that is about to end at this time will still be held for a while, but after a while, the delicate and charming scent of the aftertaste will begin to emit. The function of the aftertaste is to give the perfume a depth that goes around the beam for three days. It lasts for the longest time, up to a whole day or a few days. After applying the perfume, the scent that can be faintly felt the next day is the after-scent of the perfume. taste.
