What is a perfume?
 


HISTORY

Perfumes have been used since 4000 BC. The first fragrance created from herbs, flowers, woods and resins were burned as ritual offerings to the gods.
WHAT IS A PERFUME?

A fragrance or perfume is a complex mixture of fine scents that are carefully coordinated to achieve the desired effect.

A single fragrance may contain hundreds of different ingredients. In each of the various perfume scents affect one another and create a unique and very individual flavor.

"A fragrance evokes emotions and moods."


FROM THE LIFE OF SCENTS


A scent is stimulating, exciting and alive. He has his own life and is constantly changing on the skin.

The first impression of a fragrance is never permanent, for perfume manufacturers take great care that is developing a fragrance in three stages. Are called A fine fragrance results from a complex mixture and coordination of many different scents, the "scents". A scent is always three fragrances: a top note, a middle note and base note.

One can conceivably this way: The top note raises awareness of the fragrance, it is the first indication of its smell. The middle note is the scent in bloom (these scents is the longest on your skin). The base note leaves a lingering memory of the true character of the fragrance.

A perfume must first develop and change, to then develop in perfect harmony.
