Ho Folks.....

Jess pointed out something interesting.....

Often, when one thinks of a top note, it is thought in terms of it being

a " high " scent....These scents are usually the least long lived....And

yet, one will see the concept of a base note, usually thought of as a

" lower " scent, defined in terms of tenacity...And a natural essence can

have components of all...

So....a complex essence can be both a top and/or a middle or base

note...Some are considered a perfume in their own right, sort of...

I think this kind of thing is what makes NP so fascinating....Ma Gaia

comes up with these anomalies.....

Care....
