Perfumes are broadly grouped into families. These families are key to the design of your perfume. Your reaction to each family will be emotional and individual.

Professional perfumers have at their disposal approximately 3000 ingredients. The creation of a perfume can take up to 2 years and one single perfume can contain up to 300 ingredients. To simplify the process, Perfume Lab has specially created 20 ingredient bases, described on the left, which are incorporated into our Perfume Creator.

Like a good story a well designed perfume needs a start, middle and an end. Consequently most fragrances are a mixture of TOP notes which will provide initial impact, MIDDLE notes which will give in-use character and END notes which provide long lasting performance. By rolling your cursor over the ingredient bases on the left, you will see which category they fall into.
