What is the meaning of the base notes, middle notes and top notes in perfume making?

Perfume designers describe their creations in terms of notes: base, middle and top. There is a lot of confllicting info about how to create and balance these notes, and how they appeal to our noses, and what they really mean. It would be great to hear a good professional answer. I wanna add that I am not interested in jokes on this subject.What is the meaning of the base notes, middle notes and top notes in perfume making?
Top notes would be the scent that would evaporate first and the fastest. The top notes are usually the scent you smell when you first spray the perfume. After it evaporates is when you smell the middle notes. The middle notes is the main body of the perfume and what you smell the most of the perfume. The base notes is what helps hold the top and middle notes. The main smell of a perfume would be the middle and base notes.
