Definition: Essential oils are referred to as "top notes", "middle notes" or "base notes" depending on their aromatic qualities.
Middle note oils usually form the bulk of fragrance blends. They are strong, lasting and potent - not as bright as the top notes, or solid as the base notes. Their scent emerges shortly after the top note's first impression.
Examples of middle note oils are:
- Chamomile
- Fennel
- Geranium
- Juniper
- Lavender
- Nutmeg
- Rosemary
- Tea Tree
