Discover the Art of Scent with Delfino
At Delfino, we believe that crafting the perfect fragrance is both a science and an art form. Every scent in our collection is carefully composed to create an unforgettable experience, tailored to evoke specific moods and atmospheres. Dive into the world of fragrances with us and explore what makes each scent unique.
Much like a well-composed symphony, a fragrance is built in layers that unfold over time. At Delfino, our premium fragrances are designed with three key layers, each playing an important role in your scent experience.
Top Notes:The top note is your fragrance’s first impression. These light and airy notes, often citrusy or fruity, are designed to capture your attention immediately. Top notes are the most volatile, meaning they evaporate quickly, leaving behind the heart of the scent.
Middle Notes:As the top notes fade, the heart of the fragrance emerges. Heart notes are the core of the scent, providing fullness, depth, and character. These notes are often floral, fruity, or spicy, and last longer than the top notes.
Base Notes:The base notes form the foundation of the fragrance and are the longest-lasting. These deep, rich notes, like woods, resins, or amber, linger long after the initial scent has faded, giving the fragrance its lasting power.
Exploring Fragrance Families
Fragrances are categorized into families based on their dominant notes. While endless variations exist, here are the six main fragrance families you'll encounter at Delfino.
Citrus
Crisp, zesty, and refreshing, citrus fragrances are bursting with energy. Lemon, bergamot, and grapefruit are just some of the invigorating notes that belong to this lively category. Perfect for a bright, uplifting atmosphere.
Fruity
Fruity fragrances bring a playful, vibrant touch to any space. With notes like apple, peach, and blackberry, these scents can range from fresh and juicy to rich and creamy, adding a sweet and joyful vibe.
Fresh
Reminiscent of ocean breezes, cool air, or freshly washed linens, fresh fragrances often feature ozonic, aquatic, or citrusy notes. These scents are clean, airy, and perfect for creating a relaxed and rejuvenating environment.
Amber
Amber fragrances exude warmth, richness, and sensuality. With ingredients like vanilla, spices, and resins, these deep, textured scents are ideal for cozy evenings and colder seasons, wrapping your space in luxurious comfort.
Woody
Grounded and elegant, woody fragrances bring a sense of depth and sophistication. Notes like cedarwood, sandalwood, and vetiver add warmth and earthiness, while smoky and leathery elements offer mystery and intrigue.
Floral
Classic yet endlessly versatile, floral fragrances range from soft and powdery to bold and exotic. Jasmine, rose, and violet are just a few of the blooms that make up this timeless fragrance family, often blended with other notes to create a balanced and complex scent.
