Avoid sniffing the perfume immediately after you spray it. If it has alcohol in it this may assault your senses. Wait a while. Most perfumes will go through three stages called the top, middle and base notes. You cannot judge a perfume simply on its top notes.

Did you know:

Heart notes or Middle notes: The scent of a perfume that emerges after the top notes dissipate. The heart note compounds form the "heart" or main body of a perfume and acts to smooth the sharpness from the initial impression of a perfume caused by the top notes. Not surprisingly, the scent of heart note compounds are usually more mellow and "rounded". Scents from this note class appear anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour after the application of a perfume. Lavender and rose scents are typical heart notes.
