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 smell.

Perfume types reflect the concentration of aromatic compounds in a solvent which is as follows: Perfume extract (Extract): 15-40% aromatic compounds Eau de Parfum (EDP): 10-20% aromatic compounds Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5-15% aromatic compounds Eau de Cologne (EDC): 3-8% aromatic compounds Splash and after shave: 1-3% aromatic compounds

To maximize its longevity, fragrance layering should be used before putting your perfume (EDP, EDT, EDC or splash) on. The forms of fragrance layering products are perfumed soaps, shower gels, body creams, body lotions, bath oils, bath powders and fragrance deodorants. Choose a specific product for your skin type. For example, body lotion, body cream or body oil for dry skin, bath powders or fragrance deodorants for oil skin.

Avoid storing perfume in the presence of heat, light, oxygen, extraneous organic materials. For example, near windows where sunlight can break down fragrance compounds.

Top Notes: They consist of small, light molecules that evaporate quickly. They are also called the head notes. Middle Notes: The middle note compounds form the main body of a perfume and act to mask the often unpleasant initial impression of base notes. They are also called the “heart notes.” Base Notes: They become more pleasant with time. Base notes bring depth and solidity to a perfume.
