Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils and aroma compounds, fixatives , and solvents used to give the human body, animals, objects, and living spaces a pleasant scent.The odoriferous compounds that make up a perfume can be manufactured synthetically or extracted from plant or animal sources.
Perfumes have been known to exist in some of the earliest human civilizations either through ancient texts or from archaeological digs. Modern perfumery began in the late 19th century with the commercial synthesis of aroma compounds such as vanillin or coumarin , which allowed for the composition of perfumes with smells previously unattainable solely from natural aromatics alone.
The parfumed mixtures were first found in 7th century in India.Since then a lot has changed .Now we have a lot of different types of parfume but the most common are eau de toilette eau de cologne and my favourite eau de parfum.the most concentrated the perfume extract but it is really hard to find it although I bought one from Fragonard in Monaco.They are preparing the perfumes for the important brands they are also selling them but under nicknames .I bought Belle de nuit which is actually Dior , J´adore.
Perfume has three sets of notes, making the harmonious scent accord. The notes unfold over time, with the immediate impression of the top note leading to the deeper middle notes, and the base notes gradually appearing as the final stage. These notes are created carefully with knowledge of the evaporation process of the perfume.
