The first bottle of perfume is not new! Perfume began to be used in ancient Egypt, from 2650 BC to 2150 BC.
Under the ancient empire, the bodies of the deceased were embalmed with perfume, while incense was burned during religious ceremonies. Later, the Greeks and then the Romans made the first oily macerates by infusing plants in vegetable oil.
Perfume is more and more used as a cosmetic product from the Renaissance on.
The great discoveries allowed to bring back new fragrances from Asia and America, such as vanilla. It is in the 19th century that perfume appears as we know it today, thanks to the creation of synthetic products.
There are 5 main categories of perfume, defined by the percentage of alcohol and odorant molecules contained.
Also called perfume extract, contains the most alcohol (95%) and odorous substances (20% to 30%), its smell is the most intoxicating. The eau de parfum has a higher concentration of alcohol than the eau de toilette, that is why it ensures a better holding on the skin.
It contains from 15% to 20% of essence, depending on the brand and the type of perfume. Generally very fresh!
It, is a perfume little concentrated (5 to 15%), which is worth to him a lighter trail, but also a weaker behaviour.
The eau de Cologne contains from 2% to 4% of essences, it is appreciated for its refreshing side, just like the eau de senteur which contains at most 4% of essences and little or no alcohol.
Each perfume has a particular smell that can be distinguished in 7 main families.
Thus, in a perfumery, you will be offered a citrus perfume if you are looking for a fruity scent, a floral perfume if you want a flowery fragrance, a fougère perfume if you are fond of woody notes or a spicy perfume, depending on your personality.
The chypre perfume releases chords of oak moss, the woody perfume warm notes of cedar, an amber perfume releases soft oriental fragrances. Finally, the leather fragrance is composed of dry notes of tobacco and smoke.
To speak of the notes of a perfume is to evoke the different substances that compose it. The top notes are those that we smell immediately after the perfume is dispersed in the air.
The middle notes are the essence of the perfume, those that we continue to smell several hours after the vaporization.
Finally, the base notes are the ones that evaporate the slowest and can be smelled several days after the dispersion.
And you, what type of perfume do you wear? Which family of scents do you prefer? Fresh, strong, characterful scents?
