Associated Press Perfume contains hundreds of different ingredients that combine in the orchestration of three different notes top, middle and bottom. A good perfumer, according to an article in the current issue of Town Country, must be able to distinguish 2,200 scents to blend all the right notes.

The top note is the scent that hits you when you first open the bottle. The function of a top note is to awaken interest in the perfume and to provide impact. It is unusually light and volatile generally consisting of citrus, fruit and spices. Bergamot, a pear-shaped orange whose rind yields an essential oil, is a popular top note. All too many people purchase perfume based only on the top notes and wonder why their fragrance doesn't smell on them the way it did in the store.

The top note lasts no more than 30 minutes. Then, as the alcohol evaporates or "dries down," the middle note or bouquet emerges. This is the true heart of any fragrance. It is here you smell all the flowers rose, jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang. The bottom note is the heaviest, the one that fixes the scent and makes it last.

It's usually woody sandalwood, patchouli, cedarwood and warm. "Warm" refers to the animal ingredients perfume contains amber from sperm whales, musk from the musk deer, castoreum from beavers and civet from the civet cat. Nowadays most perfumers use synthetic replacements. They can actually reproduce the molecules found in nature, recreating the aromas of such flowers as lily of the valley and gardenia, which don't have obtainable essential oils. All women's perfume divides into three classes floral, oriental and chypre.

Within each family are subdivisions. Floral has seven subdivisions, starting with floral green. Balmain's Vent Vert (1945) is the original and Ralph Lauren's Satan a '90s example. At the other end of the spectrum is Floral Sweet florals sweetened with vanilla, honey, tonka beans. Oscar by Oscar de la Renta (1977) is the trendsetter in this cat- egory, which includes Bijan, Guerlain's Samsara and Dior's Poison.

The remaining florals are fruity, fresh, pure floral and alde- hyde. Coty's Muguet des Bois (1936) leads the fresh category, Hermes Amazone is fruity, Joy is pure floral. Aldehydes are synthetics used to create original scents. The most famous is Chanel No. 5 (1921).

The chypre group consists basically of floral, whose sweetness is tempered by woody-mossy accents. The name originates from Coty's now-extinct Chypres perfume of 1907. For orientals, think of Yves Saint Laurent's Opium or Margaretha Ley's Escada. The original oriental is Guerlain's Jicky, created in 1889 and the oldest perfume still on the market. Perfume as we know it essential oils blended with an alcohol solution was created in the 14th century, apparently at the command of Queen Elizabeth of Hungary.

Once a perfume bottle is opened, perfume should be used up within six months, or its notes begin to concentrate and go haywire. Dambach-Crawford DICKINSON Cmsgt. Ret.

Improve stroke to beat tennis elbow Associated Press Tennis elbow begins as a dull ache but may soon become sharp, debilitating twinges. The pain is caused by the repetitive forces of ball impact and gripping the racket, both of which may tear tendons at the elbow, reports Better Homes and Gardens magazine. A recent study in "Clinical Sports Medicine" says that half of tennis players get tennis elbow at some point; the incidence is highest between ages 35 and 55, especially in advanced players who like to play more than twice a week. To prevent tennis elbow, reduce forearm strain by improving the stroke and by strengthening forearm muscles.

Several strengthening exercises work quite well. For example, squeezing a rubber ball repeatedly. Or hanging the hand, palm down, over a table's edge and then raising and lowering it. Repeat the exercise with palm up. Or try it while gripping a weight for more resistance.

Two devices build the muscles that specifically help a tennis stroke. Exer-stick is a 14-inch rod with padueu gripping areas that is held vertically or horizontally and twisted with the fingers or hands in opposite directions and at adjustable degrees of resistance. Ace-grip ($10) strengthens the fingers and hand. Press each finger on its own spring-loaded plastic button, or press all fingers at once.
