How are ingredients converted into fragrance extracts?
You have a lot of vegetable substances that are suitable for perfumes, because they smell wonderful. Think of flowers, resins, woods, herbs, grasses and much more. It is important that these fragrances are extracted from the plant material. This can be done through various chemical processes, such as evaporation, heating or cooling. After this chemical process, the fragrance extract remains, an oil or an absolute. All the different fragrance extracts are added together, along with water and alcohol, and voilà!
Top notes, heart notes and base notes
Top notes, heart notes and ba Each perfume consists of a so-called ‘olfactory pyramid’. This means that a perfume is made up of top notes, heart notes and base notes. You can smell the top notes of the perfume as soon as you spray it on. They are the very first scents that open the perfume, as it were. They can be smelled on the skin for about half an hour. The heart notes form the core of the perfume and last for 4 to 5 hours. The base notes of the perfume are the notes left on your skin after the top and middle notes have passed. They last for a long time.
