base note
Perfume's lasting layer
Base note is the longest-lasting component of a fragrance, providing depth and foundation after the lighter top and middle notes fade.
Base notes are typically rich, heavy scents like musk, sandalwood, vanilla, or amber that emerge an hour or more after application and can linger for hours: The perfume's base note of cedar anchors the floral heart.
