How Perfume is made, Making of Perfume and fragrances

A good quality Perfume may have between 20 and 150 ingredients, mostly of plant or man-made origin, though some are extracted from animals. The vast majority of perfume houses commission their fragrances, which can take about three years to create, from Perfume laboratories. The center of the Perfume industry is at Grasse, in the south of france. Here is field upon field of roses, violets, jasmine, lavender and carnations. Gloves, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, patchouli, vetiver and many other plant ingredients are imported from India and the east.

Synthetic ingredients of Perfume are produced by chemical processes, an increasingly important part in the manufacture of Perfume. The chief animal ingredients in Perfume are civet, musk and ambergris. As may be imagined, some of these substances do, in fact, smell vile, but the end result of a blend of them in Perfume is more than a sum of the parts. In this Perfume is like music, and they have a vocabulary in common. At the bottom of a Perfume are the base notes, heavy and lasting, but slow to develop with body's warmth.

Concentrated Perfume is very expensive, but probably a better buy than eau de toilette. Once you have bought a Perfume use it. It will start to go off about six months after opening, faster if you do not keep it properly. Replace the stopper tightly and put the Perfume bottle in a cool, dim place.
