What is a perfume?

A Perfume are substances that together create a pleasant smell for use on the body, clothes, home, car, etc... Finally, I find a series of ideas to bring use and joy to our lives.

Perfume originates from the Latin per fumare, which means "through smoke", as in ancient times aromas were produced by burning incense and other substances...

There are different types of perfumes, according to the intensity and concentration of aromatic essences. The most common are:

Parfum - has more than 15% aromatic essence and is the most long-lasting and intense.

Eau de parfum - has 10% to 15% more aromatic essence and is a little softer than perfume.

Eau de toilette - has between 5% and 10% aromatic essence and is ideal for daily use.

Eau de Cologne - has between 3% and 5% aromatic essence and is the lightest and most refreshing.

Perfumes can be extracted from natural sources, such as flowers, fruits, wood, spices, etc. Or they can be produced synthetically in laboratories.

Perfumes can have olfactory notes, which are the sensations that are identified when smelling a perfume.

The olfactory notes are divided into:

Top notes: these are the first notes you feel when applying the perfume and last a few minutes, they are generally citrus, fruity or herbal.

Heart notes: these are the ones that define the personality of the perfume and last a few hours, they are generally citrus, fruity or herbal.

Base notes: these are the ones that remain on the skin for the longest time and give the perfume a sensation of depth. They are generally woody, oriental or balsamic.

Perfume is a way of expressing each person's identity and style. In addition to providing a pleasant smell, perfume can evoke memories, feelings and emotions. And what style do you use on your day? I hope these tips can be useful and if you have any questions or want to share your opinion with us.
