The Letter
10 Apr 2026
Every Quint Home oil is built like a perfume, with three layers that arrive and fade at different speeds. Once you know how to read them, choosing a scent gets a lot easier.
Top notes are the first impression. They are bright and quick to evaporate, lasting fifteen to thirty minutes, usually citrus, herbs, or light spice. They are what greets you when you walk into the room.
Heart notes carry the room. These are the floral, fruity, and softly resinous notes that hold for several hours, and they are where the personality of the fragrance lives.
Base notes give the scent its weight and its memory. Woods, musks, ambers, and resins settle in slowly and stay the longest. They are what you still notice on the cushions the next morning.
So read a scent profile from the top down. It tells you how the room will feel at minute one, at hour three, and the morning after.
