Olfactory Pyramid: Scented candles versus perfumes
Partilhar
The olfactory pyramid is used to describe the complexity of an aromatic product; it is a widely used tool to describe perfumes but also to describe the scents of scented candles.
Imagine a pyramid divided into three sections: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. Each section represents different aromas that are perceived over time, from the moment we light the candle or apply a perfume until its full development.
Top Notes: These are the first impressions, the aromas we smell immediately upon lighting a candle or applying a perfume. They are generally light and refreshing, very small and volatile molecules that evaporate quickly.
Heart Notes: These are the aromas that appear after the top notes evaporate. They are the heart of the fragrance, larger molecules than the top notes, more full-bodied and long-lasting, representing the unique identity of the fragrance.
Base Notes: These are the deepest and most persistent notes, which emerge after the heart notes. They are very large molecules that anchor the fragrance, giving it stability and durability.
While in perfumes we can experience these three moments well, in scented candles, due to their wax base and burning process, scented candles tend to have a smoother diffusion and a more subtle intensity. The development of notes in scented candles is more linear, as the constant heat of the flame acts more uniformly on the evaporation of the aromas.
