Favourite perfume – that else you do not know about is mute

The world of perfumery and aromas – mysterious and attracting. In it is mute so much magic, hidden, novel. Let's open for ourselves a little more details about the favourite aromas.

Smells of desserts cause accustoming

There is the whole category of so-called "tasty" or "appetizing" perfume. These are aromas with notes of tasty food, desserts, popular sweets. Now there are a lot of similar smells, even in a luxury segment though before a fragrance with smells of desserts added more to the budgetary cosmetics for youth.

Why these food aromas so got accustomed in perfumery? Scientists proved that these smells cause accustoming. Ingredients of these aromas work in such a way that stimulate emission of the hormones increasing feeling of pleasure. And who does not want to prolong pleasure?

And the most dangerous in respect of accustoming is the aroma of vanilla. Associations which are born in itself by vanilla (whether it be vanilla ice cream or pastries) are, as a rule, connected with safety. Besides, vanilla notes are the proved psychogenic aphrodisiac which strengthens feelings of pleasure on all nervous system and gives feeling of comfort and luxury.

And it is valid, quite difficult, to refuse vanilla shower gel or vanilla lip balm.

Perfumery has no floor

It is a current trend. At first aromas a unisex began to appear, and now at all notes of perfume do not divide into "male" and "female", as well as aromas. In other words, the note of a rose loved by many can be used in aromas and "for it", and "for it".

Synthetics in perfume – it is normal

First, absolutely natural (for 100%) there is no perfume. Synthetics is present surely. But the harm should not worry and draw in the imagination everyones and health hazard. In some popular smells there are only one or two artificial ingredients.

You treat synthetics in aromas as to use of 1% of elastin in a cotton t-shirt – this small percent does goods much better, without threatening quality of pure cotton.

Flower notes which are more expensive, than gold

Get acquainted: flowers from Grass, the cities in the southeast of France in the region Provence (by the way, exactly there takes place action of the well-known novel "Perfumer"). Never will come to local authorities to mind to build up meadows and Grass's glades with the elite real estate or cottages. And all because flowers will bring much more money from here.

The microclimate of this area allows to grow up the best jasmines in the world. Every year here manually collect 5 million flowers to produce only 1 kilogram perfumery absolyu. Process takes 200 days.

Other pride of Grass – a local rose, is a grade of Rose de Mai. To create only 1 kilogram of valuable rose attar from Rose de Mai every year 300 thousand flowers manually gather.


In the last 2 years harvests of flowers in Grass considerably decreased therefore already the most valuable perfumery raw materials grew in price for 40%. And today the jasmine and a rose from the South of France are more expensive than gold. That is why, meeting in niche or luxury aromas of a note of flowers from Grass, it is necessary to prepare for the impressive price for a bottle. And now you know why so.

Lavender – the most ancient ingredient of industrial production

What was the very first aroma – we hardly once learn. But as for smells of industrial production, it is more and more less studied here. The French were fashion-makers, by the way, not always. For example, the most ancient ingredient which is used in industrial perfumery is the lavender. At the beginning of the 16th century in the British Croydon the lavender which then was recognized as the best around the world for creation of aromas was grown up. And today it even bypasses on quality a lavender from Grass and it is considered a standard.

Profession the perfumer – one of the most rare in the world

It is considered even that it is less perfumers in the world, than astronauts. However, it is about those "noses" which work at a perfumery factory. The number of amateur perfumers who like to mix various essential oils and to do own compositions, - nobody counted.
