Top notes - They develop straight after you put the fragrance on. They create the first impression and tend to be quite intense, but not long-lasting.

Middle notes - The heart of the fragrance comes out after a couple of minutes when the head of the scent fades away. These notes usually last around 2 to 3 hours.

Base notes - The last and often longest part of the fragrance's evolution on your skin. Takes anywhere from 4 hours to over a day.
