Definition: Essential oils are referred to as "top notes", "middle notes" or "base notes" depending on their aromatic qualities.
Base note oils are the slowest to evaporate. Their rich, heavy scents emerge slowly and linger. They form the base of the fragrance and give it staying power.
Examples of base note oils are:
- Anise
- Benzoin
- Cedarwood
- Clove
- Jasmine
- Patchouli
- Rose
- Sandalwood
- Vetiver
