Eau Perfume

By Roberto Sedycias

Modern perfume was first made in 1370 in Hungary, by blending scented oils in an alcoholic solution, and was known all over Europe as Hungary water. Growing of flowers for perfume making became an important industry in southern France; and France is still the center of eau perfume making in Europe

.

The designer houses famous for their perfumes keep their formulas of the fragrances a closely guarded secret. Perfumes are classified by their scent and concentration levels. The fragrance designer houses use different levels of concentration for the same category of perfume; for instance, the Eau De Parfum or eau perfume belonging to one house, may be much stronger than one from another house.

There are also three different perfume classifications according to scents; the traditional scents were created in the early 1900’s; the modern scents date from 1945; the Fragrance wheel was created in 1983, there being five standard fragrance categories: the Fougere family, Floral, Woody, Oriental and Fresh.

Eau Perfumes are also known by their top, middle and base notes, which unfold gradually; the top notes can be sensed immediately, next, the deeper middle notes, and the base notes appear gradually in the last stage.

Top notes are important in selling the perfume as they can be perceived immediately; the middle and the base notes make up the eau perfume’s main theme.

The aromatic oils used in perfume making are obtained from various sources. There are really hundreds of ingredients that are contained in perfume oils.

Eau Perfume, Eau Fragrance

You will come across several kinds of fragrances and Perfume today: perfume remains at the apex, pursued by eau de toilette, eau perfume, and eau de cologne, each having a smaller degree of aromatic oils, correspondingly. The lesser the focus of perfumed materials, the lesser the scent life would be. Eau Perfume is extremely prized accurately as it may remain from morning till night.

In addition, perfume bears well, sense the scent remains spanking as the day bears on. Aromatic composites used in perfumes carry multifaceted chemical connections. Perfumed compounds tend to stop working rapidly when bare to heat, light and as well to air. Perfume is stated to have main three notes, which work jointly to shape the long-lasting fragrance.

The chief note is the first scent when it is used. As it reduces it exposes the heart note of the scent, as well recognized as the heart or stiff of the perfume.

Perfume And Cologne

Today’s modern perfume has three main components:

Typically scents are made from flowers, citrus, spices, woods and sometimes even leather.

The fixative - These ingredients act to stabilize the aromatic compound and help to make the scent last longer.

Lotions and aftershaves generally have a 1 to 2% scent base

Eau de Cologne products are generally 2 to 3% pure scent

Eau de Toilettes run between 5 to 20% scent

Perfume Extract or Parfum has the greatest concentration of scent, between 20 and 40%

Women’s products are usually categorized as perfume, eau de parfum, toilet water, and cologne and for men’s products are sold as perfume, cologne, and aftershave.

Surprisingly fragrances and music share a common term, notes. Perfumes are often described by the different “notes” that make up the scent. Top Notes are the strongest scents but do not last very long. Middle (or heart notes) makes up the main part of the scent that emerges after the top notes start to fade away and are usually softer and mellower than the initial scent. These scents are usually floral in nature.

Bass notes form the foundation of the scent and are usually deep and musky in nature and emerge to blend with the middle notes not to replace them. (by Mike Taylor)

Celebrity Fragrance Fashion - Perfume & Cologne

Every woman wants to smell divine. After three or four fragrances, your ability to differentiate between scents is probably shot. Memory & Smell:

While cologne and perfume are known for providing fragrance, perfume bottles have long been sought after for their display-worthy design.

Our sense of smell is deeply connected to our faculty of memory. It makes sense, then, that we are attracted to fragrances that are somehow connected to positive memories, however abstractly. The types of fragrance each of us is drawn to will fall into one of two camps: light and dark.

A Lighter Fragrance Touch

As the name suggests, light fragrances are floral, ozonic and fresh. Lighter scents accomplish this task with subtlety and style. At the other end of the Globe, there are dark fragrances. The ingredients chosen were ones that signalled freshness, like lemon, lavender and roses; ingredients we associate with lighter scents. But people soon developed a use for fragrance beyond that of plain deodorizer, and there lies the origin of darker fragrances.

In 18th century France, perfumers began to add excrement, diluted extremely, to floral fragrances to create depth and complexity. Nowadays, the equivalent ingredient is musk, which will add an animal note to any fragrance.

Dark fragrances speak of a woman who is sexual, confident, mysterious and passionate.

Signature Scents:

Then the inevitable question becomes whether that fragrance is a life-long love or a fickle fling.

You won’t yourself enjoy the waft of fragrance that a man smells when he kisses the nape of your neck. I’ve been wearing the same fragrance for more than 15 years and although I have had the odd affair with another fragrance, I’ve always come back to my dependable signature scent. Star Power:

As an estimated US$2.8 billion dollar industry, there’s tough competition to stake and maintain a hold in the fragrance market. Stars like Britney Spears and Sarah-Jessica Parker have, with varying degrees of involvement, lent their names to fragrances. Celebrity fragrance may have initial pull with a loyal fan-base, but such discount perfumes will unlikely have the longevity of more established fragrances.
