Mid notes
About
'Mid notes' is a perfumery term used to identify ingredients based on when, during the wearing of a fragrance, they are most noticeable.
Description
A mid note in perfumery is a fragrance ingredient that begins to emerge once the top notes have dissipated. The mid notes of a fragrance can be smelt for the longest and so help to determine its overall character. Mid notes are often floral or peppery, including rose, jasmine, and black pepper.
