middle notes
Perfume's core scent
Middle notes are the scents that emerge in a perfume or fragrance after the initial top notes fade, typically lasting several hours and forming the heart of the composition.
Also called heart notes, they bridge the bright opening with the deeper base notes: The middle notes of jasmine and rose give this perfume its character.
