Surely you’ve experienced the following situation: you’re on the subway, and suddenly you percieve a seductive fragrance. You raise your head to find the person who uses the potent perfume and he/she drives you crazy because of the sweet smell. Probably this person would have never caught your attention if he/she had not used this amazing perfume. Here’s the perfect example that shows that these substances may also be pure aromatic pheromones. Today, a good perfume is made up of natural products such as essential oils from plants, flowers, fruits, herbs and spices, but also contains a wide variety of mixed fragrances. This way an expert can use more than 32.000 substances from which he can recognize more than 3.000. Do you know that a perfume can contain 300 different scents? So it is not surprising that the creation of a perfume can last months or even years.

In general there are four different types of scents: Eau de Perfume, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne and Perfume. The classification depends on the conenctration of the aromatic oils. Experts also talk about head and heart notes of which are related to the duration of olfactory perception. The term “perfume” comes from the Latin “per fumum” and means, literally translated, “for the smoke”. It comes from a very old pagan custom: they thought the burned essences will guide the Gods through the smoke towards humans. Today, perfume has not much to do with customs or gods, but rather with business and other profits. The world’s most expensive perfume “only” costs around €136.000.

France is without doubt the centre of international perfume manufacture. Grasse is considered the world capital of perfume. But Paris has nothing to envy.
