What is dry down?
Dry down is the later impression of a fragrance after its initial application develops. It describes an experience over time, not a fixed minute shared by every perfume. Velario’s base-note lists suggest that later character, while individual wear observations are needed to describe actual development.

How should you use this term when comparing fragrances?
Sin lists tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, and cedarwood in its base. Use those names to describe the intended later direction, not to predict an exact sequence or duration. Record your observation time when comparing how two fragrances develop.
What distinction matters?
Dry down describes observed development; base notes describe the listed composition.
