Les notes de cœur sont moyennement volatiles. En effet, elles sont plus persistantes que les notes de tête, mais moins tenaces que les notes de fond. Généralement, elles tiennent plusieurs heures et prennent place quand les notes de fond commencent à s'évaporer. Le cœur est la signature de la fragrance. Il marque la transition entre les accords [...] des notes de tête et [ceux] des notes de fond.
