The HAUS OF SMELL note index is a plain-language guide to the botanical raw materials used in perfumery — top notes, heart notes, and base notes. Learn what each note smells like, where it comes from, and how it behaves as a fragrance unfolds on skin or fills a room. Top notes such as bergamot, grapefruit, and cardamom are the first flash and fade fastest; heart notes such as jasmine, rose, and saffron are the body of a scent; base notes such as sandalwood, vetiver, oud, and vanilla are the foundation that lingers longest. Every HAUS OF SMELL scent is built from these materials — 100% natural, vegan, and alcohol-free, hand-made in New York. Explore the full note index at hausofsmell.com/notes.
