Men Perfume - The Fragrances That Men Love To Carry With Them
By Jayson Pablo
Perfume is essentially a mixture of aromatic compounds and fragrant oils. Perfumes were first made by Egyptians. Persian doctor and chemist Avicenna made world’s first scent that used rose oil as floral extract. There are three popular methods of classifying scents, the traditional and modern and fragrance wheel. In traditional methods, fragrances are classified according to their dominant scent like floral bouquet, chypre and ambery.
The classification introduced many new categories of scents like oceanic, gourmand and fruity. Fragrance wheel method was introduced by perfume consultant Michael Edwards in 1983. This method categorises perfumes in five groups - floral, oriental, fresh, fougere and woody.
Companies like Givaudan, Symrise and Takasago are the leading manufacturers of artificially synthesized perfumes. An almost empty bottle of scent will degrade faster than an almost full bottle as oxygen increases the rate of scent degradation.
Many modern cologne and men perfumes are made using different combinations of fragrance bases. A fragrance base is essentially a modular perfume which has been blended with aromatic chemicals and essential oils. Men perfumes vary to a great extent in their composition and also use different ingredients.
