Energetic classification of Essential Oils: HEAD, HEART and BASE NOTES
An essential oil can be divided into different categories based on its use: it can be used for food, cosmetics, massages or as air freshener. One of the most interesting classifications to choose the essential oil most suitable to our needs, is the one based on olfactory notes, a smell that can be perceived by our olfaction in relation to a past time.
HEAD note
Head notes are usually characterized by their light, fresh fragrance. Despite being intense at first, the fragrance fades with time. Head notes have a faster vibration and among these, everyone remembers citrus fruit essential oils, which are very volatile.
HEART note
Heart notes last longer and go directly to the heart. They are the heart of the fragrance, which grows and insinuates itself into our nose and soul. They are generally floral nuances, such as rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang essential oil, combined with other aromas that seduce your nose and heart.
BASE notes
The warmness and depth of a fragrance its shown in base notes. They carry within themselves a long-lasting pleasure. Most of these oils have a stabilizing action on our state of mind and purify the air just like trees in the woods. Essential oils from wood, resin and roots of plants belong to this category.
