Essential oils are used in plants through distillation or expression, and have been used in perfumery for centuries. Their natural fragrance and healing properties make them an invaluable ingredient in perfumery.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the world of essential oils in perfumery, examining their unique properties, how they’re used by perfumers, and their impact on the fragrance industry.
Essential oils contain a complex mixture of chemicals that give them a distinctive aroma. These compounds can be divided into different families, each with their own unique properties:
rose, jasmine, lavender, ylang-ylang
lemon, fig, bergamot, grapefruit
Cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver
clove, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom
Peppermint, rosemary, basil, thyme
Each family offers different olfactory experiences, allowing perfumers to create fragrances with different emotions and personalities.
Perfume manufacturers carefully select essential oils based on their desired scent. They consider things like:
The base notes are the last part of the fragrance, which is warm, rich and lingering. They usually appear after the top and middle notes have faded, making the scent more permanent. Base notes are usually characterized by depth, warmth and richness.
First smell sensed upon use.
When you first spray a perfume, the first scent that hits your nose is known as the top notch. These top notes are light, fresh and immediate, giving the fragrance a platform. They make a bright first impression, often described as citrus, green, or aldehydic.
Interior notes, also known as heart notes, form the heart of a fragrance. They develop after the surface notes fade and give the scent character and depth. Middle notes can be floral, fruity, or spicy, and tend to linger longer than the top notes.
Combining essential oils with information from different families allows perfumers to create complex and harmonious fragrances.
