Hey there. Are you curious to know how perfumes were
invented? Well, your curiosity will find the solution here. Go ahead and read
the complete article. You may find a gift down there!!!
Perfume is a perfect blend of different aromas, fragrances,
scented oils, solvents, and fixatives. This perfect combination gives your body
a pleasing scent.
Mostly they are in liquid form and are sold in fancy
bottles. Archaeological excavations and ancient texts reveal that older people
used perfumes. Tapputi made the first perfume.
The perfume making process includes distilling
flowers, oils, calamus, and aromatics. The already made product is then
filtered and blended many times.
In the present era, many companies are producing world-class
perfumes. And some of them will be your favorite too, right? But it is worth
knowing what the various fragrances that make up such aromatic perfumes. Dive
in the next section to know this.
Different Fragrances in Perfume
The more appropriate term for different fragrances can be
the different types of fragrance concentrations. You can easily find this
information right below the name of the perfume.
The term fragrance concentration defines the strength
of the fragrance. Higher fragrance concentration means less alcohol and more
perfume oils and vice-versa.
The fragrance concentration can be classified. These are
parfum, eau de cologne, eau de toilette, and Eau Fraiche. I hope you are still
interested in knowing about the gift. But first, Let’s know about these types
of fragrance concentrations one by one.
Parfum
This type is known to have the highest fragrance
concentration. Parfum is also known as pure perfume and Extrait de parfum. For
the majority of the parfum, the fragrance concentration remains 20%-30% and
15%-40% perfume.
With high fragrance concentration, parfums last longer than
other kinds. The lasting time is usually 6-8 hours. These are also more
expensive than the others.
They are ideal for people with sensitive skin. But this
doesn’t mean that others cannot use them. They work well with sensitive skin
because less alcohol doesn’t make their skin dry.
Eau de Cologne
This type of perfume concentration has a lower fragrance
concentration than the other types. They have high alcohol concentration and
2%-4% fragrance concentration.
This type of concentration is less expensive than the other
fragrance concentrations. The only drawback is that they last for around 2
hours only.
Eau de Colognes can be stored in large bottles. Also, a
large amount of fragrance gets sprayed at once. The original formation of the
type of concentration included herb and citrus notes with base notes anchoring.
Eau de Toilette
These types have 5%-15% concentration levels. It is the most
common type of fragrance concentration. Also, it is less expensive than the Eau
de Parfum.
The fragrance works well for about 2-3 hours. They are
considered ideal for the daytime. The term Eau de Toilette derived from “faire
sa toilette” The real meaning of the word is getting ready.
Eau Fraiche
This type is similar to Eau De Cologne. The fragrance of Eau
de Cologne stays for about 2 hours.
The fragrance concentration level of Eau de Cologne is
2%-3%. It means they have less alcohol.
Also, they are less expensive than other types of fragrance
concentrations.
Other than the mentioned fragrance concentrations, there are
many others. Thus, before buying any kind of perfume, you must know about all
of them. But that’s not possible, right?
Still, you can know the other details which can help you
choose. One such thing is to be aware of the manufacturing process of the
perfumes. Get started with it in the below section.
The Perfume Making Process
The process of making perfume is not rocket science. The
entire perfume-making process is a collection of four stages.
The first stage is the procurement of the required
ingredients and the plant substances. The next step of the process is the
extraction of oil.
The third step of the process is the blending of the perfume.
The fourth and last step of the process is the aging of the product.
During the first stage of the perfume-making process, the
ingredients which are necessary for the perfume are purchased from different
places. The ingredients for perfumes can be purchased from various locations.
After procurement, the ingredients are processed further by
perfume chemists in the laboratories. Once they are ready, the second stage can
begin.
In the second stage, essential perfume oils are extracted
from the procured ingredients. This process can be through various methods.
Some of them are solvent extraction, steam distillation, maceration,
effleurage, and expression.
After the extraction of the oils, the oils are blended. The
blending process is based on the formula decided by the master blender.
After blending, alcohol is added to the perfume. The level
of alcohol depends upon the final product that has to be produced.
For fine perfumes, the prepared perfume is aged for many
months and even sometimes years. This process is taken out to ensure that the
perfume has the perfect scent.
You must be thinking about the perfume oils from the
ingredients during the second stage of the perfume-making process. We have
mentioned all about these perfume oils down here.
What are Perfume Oils?
Perfume oils are a necessary part of the fragrance that the
perfume has. These are also known as aromatic oils or fragrance oils.
In simple terms, perfume oils are concentrated scents used
in the perfume making process. These perfume oils offer complex and different
fragrance combinations and concentrations.
Perfume oils contain no alcohol. Alcohol is added later in
the perfume-making process.
Without alcohol, perfume oils tend to last for longer
durations. Also, they are more concentrated.
