Hidden facts you need to know about the composition of perfumes and how it is being made

Perfume (Latin "per
fume" meaning
"through smoke") was
highly favored by the
Egyptians, Romans, and
Arabs. In East Asia,
perfumes were incense
based. People used to
make perfumes from
spices and herbs like
bergamot, myrtle,
coriander, conifer resin,
and almond. The use of
flowers came only after
Avicenna, an Iranian
doctor and chemist
showed the process of
distillation, whereby oils
could be extracted from
flowers. In 1370, at the
behest of Queen
Elizabeth of Hungary,
the world's first
modern perfume -
"Hungary Water" was
made by blending
scented oils in alcohol
solution.
The composition of a
perfume is of vital
significance and is
handled by an expert
known as a perfumer,
who deals with primary
scents like rose,
jasmine, cola, etc;
modifiers like esters;
blenders like linalool and
hydroxycitronellol; and
fixatives like resins,
wood scents, and
amber bases. The
resulting scent is
explained in a musical
metaphor of three
'notes', namely, top
notes (consisting of
fast evaporating small
size molecules) like
citrus and ginger
scents; middle notes
(consisting of slow
evaporating medium
size molecules) like
lavender and rose
scents; and base notes
(consisting of slowest
evaporating largest size
molecules) like fixatives
etc. All these notes
work together like a
musical chord.
Perfume oils contain
volatile compounds in
high concentrations and
thus have to be diluted
by solvents, so that
injury is not caused
when applied directly on
skin or clothes. The
common solvent is pure
ethanol or ethanol
mixed with water.
Fractionated coconut oil
or wax, neutral smelling
fats such as jojoba, can
also act as solvents and
dilute the perfume oil.
The perfume oil is
further mixed with
other aromatic
compounds. Generally,
the percentage of
aromatic compounds in
perfume extract is 20%
to 40%; in eau de
parfum is 10% to 30%;
in eau de toilette is 5%
to 20%; and in eau de
cologne is 2% to 5%.
The oil concentration in
a perfume along with
other aromatic
compounds, determines
the intensity, longevity,
and price of the
perfume and thus it is a
closely guarded secret
of every perfumer and
perfume house. By
adjusting the
percentage level and
the notes of the
perfume, variations on
the same brand may be
created like Chanel's
Pour Monsieur and Pour
Monsieur Concentree.
Classification of
perfumes is never
complete, due to its
ever-evolving nature.
The traditional
classification comprises
of categories like Single
Floral, Floral Bouquet,
Ambery, Woody,
Leather, Chypre, and
Fougere; while the
modern classification
comprises of Bright
Floral, Green, Oceanic/
Ozone, Citrus/Fruity,
and Gourmand. In 1983,
Michael Edwards, a
perfume consultant,
created a new
fragrance classification
"The Fragrance Wheel",
which classified and
sub-grouped five
standard families,
namely Floral (Floral,
Soft Floral, Floral
Oriental), Oriental (Soft
Oriental, Oriental,
Woody Oriental), Woody
(Wood, Mossy Woods,
Dry Woods), Fougere
(has fragrance
elements from all the
families), and Fresh
(Citrus, Green, Water).
Perfumery has used a
number of aromatic
sources like plants,
animals, and synthetic
sources in the making
of perfumes. Plants are
used as a source of
aroma compounds and
essential oils. The parts
of plants that are used
are:
1 - Bark (cinnamon,
cascarilla);
2 - Flowers (rose,
jasmine, osmanthus,
tuberose, mimosa,
vanilla);
3 - Blossoms (citrus,
ylang-ylang, clove);
4 - Fruits (apples,
strawberries, cherries,
litsea cubeba, juniper
berry, vanilla, oranges,
lemons, limes,
grapefruit);
5 - Leaves and Twigs
(lavender, patchouli,
citrus, violets, sage,
rosemary, hay,
tomato);
6 - Resins (labdanum,
myrrh, gum benzoin,
Peru balsam,
frankincense/olibanum,
pine, fir, amber, copal);
7 - Roots, Bulbs, and
Rhizomes (vetiver
roots, ginger and iris
rhizomes);
8 - Seeds (coriander,
cocoa, mace,
cardamom, anise,
nutmeg, caraway,
tonka bean);
9 - Woods (agarwood,
birch, rosewood,
sandalwood, pine, birch,
juniper, cedar).

How to stop excessive and non-stop thinking totally

Are you aware that
your mind is always
occupied with
thoughts? Are you
aware that thoughts
constantly demand your
attention, dictate your
behavior and reactions?
Do you sometimes feel
that your mind is going
to explode from
nonstop thinking? Can
you focus your
attention on what you
are doing at any
moment, or are you
constantly distracted
by all kinds of thoughts,
negative thinking or
negative expectations?
You need to learn to
overcome your nonstop
thinking in order to gain
control over your
attention.
Do you sometimes wish
your mind could just
stop thinking for a little
while, and let you enjoy
some rest and peace?
Like an engine, it has to
rest to avoid wear and
tear. It needs some
rest from time to time,
in order to recharge
itself and your body.
The mind often looks
like a cluttered room,
with no free space and
no place to move. When
you empty your room it
will look bigger and
tidier, and it will be
more pleasant to be
there. So it is with your
mind. Remove the
clutter - the
unnecessary thoughts,
the worries and the
fears, and your life
would look happier and
brighter.
You are probably not
constantly aware of
the restlessness of
your mind, because this
became a habit and you
got accustomed to it,
yet, thoughts keep
coming and going,
occupying your mind
every moment of the
day, spending up mental
and emotional energy,
and sometimes making
your head ache.
Tension, strain and
pressure at work and
at home make the mind
even more restless, and
attract more thoughts
into it. Problems,
difficulties, fears,
worries and hurt
feelings increase even
more the mental
restlessness and lack
of inner peace, making
you more acutely aware
of the swarm of
thoughts coming into
your mind and making
you feel helpless. It is
during such times that
you desperately feel
the need for inner peace
and freedom endless
thinking.
When you need to focus
your attention, study or
meditate, you are again
confronted with
thoughts that swarm
into your mind,
disturbing and
distracting your
attention. This also
happens when you are
worried, angry or
emotionally excited. You
feel unable to stop the
flow of thoughts and
emotions that prevent
clear thinking, calmness
or self-control.
During such times you
just want to scream at
the mind to stop
thinking. You feel that
your mind has broken
any control and barriers,
and that it is working
on its own, sometimes
to your detriment. It is
like being helpless in a
rudderless boat in the
midst of the ocean, and
all you want is some
steady and safe land.
It is in times of worry,
stress, fear and strain
that inner peace of
mind is greatly desired
and appreciated.
Actually, inner peace
and freedom from
restless and incessant
thinking is a great boon
anytime and
everywhere. It makes
you happier, stronger,
more confident and
happy.
Imagine how it would
be to live your life,
work, interact with
people, read, watch TV,
travel or do anything
else, without thoughts
and worries claiming
your attention. Just
think how your
concentration would
become stronger and
your five senses
sharper! Just imagine
how your
understanding,
comprehension,
awareness and intuition
will increase!
You need mental and
emotional training, in
order to overcome
nonstop thinking and
free yourself the
compulsion, and it is a
compulsion, to think
incessantly and
involuntary, and fill your
mind with thoughts
that weaken you and
distract your attention.
You also need to
develop some degree of
inner detachment and
mastery over your
mind.
There are no short cuts
to overcoming nonstop
thinking and lack of
inner peace. The aim is
not to stunt your mind
through hypnosis or
subliminal programming,
but to gain real inner
peace, which you can
enjoy while staying
active, pursuing your
goals, and while
handling more
efficiently and
peacefully your daily
affairs of life.
Everything worth having
requires work and
effort. You cannot
become a pilot, an
Olympic champion or an
engineer by listening to
a CD, hypnotizing
yourself or saying some
magic words.
Developing inner
abilities, such as calming
down your mind, is no
different.
