Background
The use of perfumes to hide body odors can be traced back to the dawn of recorded human history. Skin and clothing are treated with a variety of natural and man-made ingredients. Perfumes are commonly used in cleaning products, cosmetics, and to freshen the air.
Perfume is derived from the Latin words “per” which means “through” and “fumum” which means “smoke.”
To conceal scents from skin and clothing, a variety of natural and man-made products are used. Most perfumes are made from plant oils and contain a small amount of alcohol.
Many synthetic chemicals can now be produced from natural source materials. Perfumes are made from these aromatic chemicals. To isolate the necessary component and have the precise percentage of oil and alcohol, the procedure for producing fragrances necessitates a lot of organic chemistry effort. The quantity of alcohol in a scent determines whether it is cologne or toilet water.
Raw materials
Natural and synthetic materials are the two types of materials utilized in perfumery. Resins, natural oils, balsams, roots, gums, leaves, and woods are among the natural constituents.
Some raw resources are derived from animals.
Musk is derived from male deer, ambergris is derived from sperm whales, and castor is derived from beavers.
Animal products are used in several perfume components. Castor oil originates from beavers, musk from male deer, and ambergris from sperm whales, for example. Animal fixatives, like coal tar, resins, and mosses, are frequently employed to extend the life of perfumes.
Esters, aldehydes, lactones, macrocyclic musks, and other chemically produced raw materials are among the synthetic raw materials.
There are other isolates derived from natural compounds, such as musks (found in animal musks), geraniol (found in roses), indole (found in jasmine), and linalool (found in lavender).
The cost of products derived from the isolation of natural products is higher.
An isolate costs twice as much as the essential oils it replaces.
The word “noble materials” is used in the marketing of perfumes in France since it describes the cost and methods of production.
Floral essences such as rose oil, jasmine absolute, rose absolute, and tuberose absolute is among the “matieres nobles” or “noble materials”.
Why synthetic materials are so popular?
