Fragrance Glossary: How to Select a Scent Using Notes

|---|---|---|---|
|
A single scent element of a fragrance that builds a whole scent: they're denoted as 'top,' 'middle', and 'base', which refers to the moment at which you can sense them after application. |
The top notes are the first notes you can smell after applying a fragrance, consisting of smaller, lighter molecules and evaporating fastest to reveal the mid notes. |
Mid notes are also known as 'heart' notes, as they reveal the core of the fragrance: they make up approximately 70% of the fragrance, appearing after the top notes dissipate and lingering for the full life of the fragrance. |
Base notes help build a foundation for the lighter notes of the fragrance, boosting them while adding more depth and resonance: they're rich and long-lasting, lingering the longest and lasting the full life of the fragrance. |
Maison Louis Marie: A Botanical Tradition Since 1792
Maison Louis Marie is the result of a long, storied family history with scent, beginning with Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars: a pioneer in French botanical history, he was exiled to Madagascar, La Reunion and the Mauritius islands during the French revolution. There, he discovered a vast array of plant specimens, collecting over 2000 to bring back to France ten years later. Home again at last, he was elected a member of the prestigious Académie des Sciences.
200 Years Later...
Marie du Petit Thouars grew up in Belgium, playing in her grandfather’s nursery while making candles and experimenting with scents in her mother’s greenhouse. Using the rich botanical history of her family as her inspiration and her guide, Marie has since created luxury candles, perfumes, and skincare that focus on illustrious scents imbued with unique floral fragrances. Made in harmony with the environment, Marie believes in making every effort to preserve the unique terroir of each fragrance element as it is derived from nature.
Still A Family Tradition
The collaboration between Marie and her husband Matthew Berkson has allowed them to expand Maison Louis Marie’s reach. Together, they’re committed to the business of clean beauty and non-toxic fragrances. Their collaborative work ensures these products have unique, memorable scents, contain no toxic or environmentally harmful ingredients — whether naturally sourced or manmade — and are never tested on animals or made with animal-derived ingredients.
