Making Scents

Fragrances / Perfumes may contain a blend of both natural and synthetic ingredients. Natural ingredients such as flowers, grasses, spices, fruits, wood, roots, leaves, and gums. Synthetic materials can recreate natural scents, but also improve the shelf life of the fragrance, make the fragrances longer-lasting, and ensure fragrances are competitive by using less expensive and less resource-intensive ingredients.

Fragrance oils may mimic a naturally occurring compound or maybe a combination of ingredients to invoke a feeling.

Fragrances are generally described as having 3 main parts;

Top notes – these are the initial light aromas that you smell first when evaluating a fragrance. These are the sweet, light, fruity, tangy notes that are easy to smell and more fleeting.

Middle notes – these make the body of the perfume and will be made form a complex range of ingredients. They may be described as woody, floral, feminine, masculine notes
