In the world of perfumery, every fragrance tells a story, an emotion, a memory. But do you really know what composes a perfume and why certain scents evolve over time on your skin?
At GALBEE Parfums Paris, we are committed to sharing our expertise and guiding you through a journey of olfactory discovery. Today, we invite you to dive into GALBEE IS WOODY, one of our signature scents, to better understand the art of olfactory notes.
What is an olfactory pyramid?
A perfume is composed of three layers of notes, which unfold progressively on the skin:
-
- Top notes: These are the initial scents perceived right after spraying. Light and volatile, they evaporate quickly.
- Heart notes: These appear a few minutes later, as the top notes begin to fade. They reveal the true personality of the fragrance.
- Base notes: Deeper and longer-lasting, they settle on the skin and provide the longevity and signature of the perfume.
GALBEE IS WOODY: A mesmerizing woody immersion
Top notes: Fresh Mint & Sparkling Orange
From the very first moments, GALBEE IS WOODY surprises with a burst of invigorating mint paired with the zesty sweetness of orange. A bright, energizing opening.
Heart notes: White Musk, Guaiac Wood, Cedarwood
At the heart of the fragrance, the woody soul emerges powerfully. Guaiac wood adds a smoky, rich touch while cedarwood brings elegant warmth. White musk softens the composition, leaving behind an intense yet comforting trail.
Base notes: Amber, Vanilla, Musk
Finally, the base becomes more sensual and addictive. Amber lends warmth and a resinous depth, vanilla brings a sweet, enchanting touch, and musk prolongs the fragrance's intensity on the skin.
