How to Choose the Perfect Fragrance for Your Home
At Companhia Atlântica, we believe that scents have the power to transform a space, evoke memories and create atmospheres that invite us to slow down, relax or simply enjoy the moment.
That’s why we carefully select the fragrances in our collections, aiming to create distinctive olfactory experiences, each with its own personality, combinations and nuances.
But how do you choose the right fragrance for you? Understanding the fragrance pyramid is a great place to start.
What Is a Fragrance Pyramid?
A fragrance pyramid is a way of organising the different notes that make up a fragrance, dividing them into three categories: top notes, heart notes and base notes. Together, these layers help us understand the character and complexity of each scent.
Top notes — the first impression
They shape the first impression of a fragrance. They can be fresh, citrusy, aromatic or vibrant, awakening the senses in the first few moments.
Heart notes — the personality of the fragrance
Also known as middle notes, they reveal the character of the composition. They can feature floral, fruity, spicy or herbal accords, contributing to the scent’s identity and richness.
Base notes — depth and longevity
They give the fragrance depth and contribute to its longevity. Woody, musky, ambery or balsamic accords can add warmth, comfort and an enveloping feel.

How to Use the Fragrance Pyramid to Choose a Reed Diffuser
If you prefer light, fresh scents, look for fragrances with citrus or herbal notes.
If you enjoy cosy atmospheres, woody, ambery or balsamic notes may be a good choice.
For a delicate, floral atmosphere, explore compositions featuring floral notes.
There is no right or wrong choice: the most important thing is to find a fragrance that suits you and the atmosphere you want to create in your home.
