Perfume Oils — perfume oils are gotten from plants and come with highly concentrated fragrances. Due to their lack of alcohol they are easily absorbed by the skin clinging to it like a tattoo and take longer time to wear off. Also, they are formulated instead with essential oils and without the addition of artificial preservatives, and have longer shelf-life. Perfume oils can also be called fragrance oils or aromatic oils. They also moisturize the skin and help regulate sweating especially during outdoor events.
Body sprays or splash are also known for their great sillage trail , and is ideal for outdoor occasions when you want to smell wonderful and leave behind a stunning first impression. They are also generally liked because of the intensity of the notes. Cologne — named after a large city in Germany, cologne is mostly scented water with a small concentration of oils. And in the production of cologne, vodka alcohol is an essential product as it is used to dilute the essential oils before they are incorporated into the general perfume blend.
Cologne have refreshing effects, are easy to wear, and are perfect for all occasions. However, they might not last as long as needed due to their low concentration of essential oils.
Roll-on perfumes — there is really not much difference with roll-on perfumes and other types described here, only that the fragrance comes in a roll-on bottle instead of a spray bottle. Roll-on perfumes are easy to apply and help with sweating problems especially in the armpit region. Even though such perfumes are characteristically know to be less concentrated, they provide all day freshness and comfort when applied. Alcohol or ethanol- alcohol or ethanol is a common base for most perfumes.
A perfect example of such grade of alcohol is vodka. Most importantly, alcohol types like isopropyl alcohol and methanol should never be used as they are toxic to the skin.
Jojoba oil is skin friendly with moisturizing effects and is easily absorbed by the skin without leaving a residual greasy patch. Also, it is colourless and does not emit any foul smell and as so makes blending into a fragrance mix very easy. It is extracted from jojoba wax after the glycerine has been removed. Jojoba oil can be mixed with essential oils during the production of perfume.
In the absence of jojoba oil, other carrier oils like almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and the likes have proven to be useful in the manufacture of homemade perfumes and aromatherapy fragrance. While choosing a carrier oil though, it is essential to remember that some oils have shorter durability and are likely to spoil when unused for a period of time.
This poor shelf-life is bound to affect the general quality of the perfume when such carrier oil is used. Another problem with carrier oils is that they either maintain a solid or liquid form based on varying room temperature and this can affect the quality of the perfume. In addition, some essential oils can have toxic effects on the human skin depending on their concentration and so should be handled with extra care.
Essential oils-essential oils are the perfect option for amateur perfumers to begin with. Early perfumes developed for the purpose of simply smelling nice often had one main natural essential oil e. Most perfumes were scented with natural essential oils until synthetic scents introduced in the late 19th century became popular in the 20th century. Modern perfumes, such as the ones we wear today, have their origins mainly in the 19th and 20th centuries and the majority contain a blend of natural and synthetic ingredients.
Although perfume was not invented or perfected in France, France has come to be seen as the center of the modern perfume making world for a couple of reasons. First, the French Riviera town of Grasse in southern France is considered the perfume capital of the world. In the 16th century, glove makers in Grasse began selling perfumed gloves to appeal to the nobility and begun farming a number of flowers used in the production of the fragrances.
In the 18th century, there was more demand for scented pomades, ointments, and perfumes in France and companies like Galimard sprung up in Grasse. New production methods combined with a large amount of harvested flowers allowed Grasse to become the center of the French perfume industry.
Grasse is the headquarters for well-known French perfume houses Galimard , Molinard , and Fragonard. The second reason France is associated so strongly with perfume is that it has become a world-leader in perfume marketing and sales.
