5 Basic Types of Perfumes – What Distinguish Them

The perfume smells are distinguished by the perfume oils concentration. The concentration determines the strength of the fragrance and its lasting power. The higher the concentration of perfume oil, the longer the smell of perfume is. Here are the different types of perfume scents and how they differ between one to another:

The 1st perfume type is After-Shave. After-Shave has the lowest concentration of perfume oil, containing only about 0.5% to 2.0% of perfume oil. After-Shave is suitable for daily use to calm men use after shaving.

The 2nd type of perfume is the Eau de Cologne. Eau de Cologne has 3.0% to 5.0% concentration of perfume oil. It is mainly used after a bath.

The 3rd type of perfume and most commonly use is Eau de toilette. Eau de toilette contains fragrance oil concentration of about 5.0% and 8.0% of perfume oil. It is popular because it is clearly stronger than eau de cologne and its fragrance smell stay longer. In term of pricing, the price of eau de toilette is also much higher than the After-Shave and Eau de Cologne.

The 4th type of perfume is Eau de Parfum. It has higher concentration of perfume oil. It is composed of fragrance oil concentration of about 8.0% to 15.0%. The price for this kind of perfume is obviously very expensive compared to the previous three. The smell is strong and its effect lasts longer.

The last and 5th type of perfumes is “parfum”. It has the best quality perfume and high perfume oil concentration. It is quite crude and contains the highest concentration of perfume oil of about 15% – 30%. Just one drop of this perfume is enough to leave fragrance smell very long. Because of its high quality, this kind of perfume is very expensive and not many people can afford.

These are five basic types of perfumes. With these set of basic knowledge of the different categories of perfume, it is now time to choose one that suit you. Some people also buy perfumes online.

The important point you must take note is that not all perfumes suit everyone; every individual has his or her own body chemistry characteristics which react differently to each individual perfume. Some perfume that smell good on someone else may just evaporate in thin air on your body.

So, before purchasing perfume, always test it on your wrists and wait for sometime to allow the fragrance to develop fully before deciding on whether it suits you or not.

Did You Know...

• Without the alcohol and water fillers, using only a small amount of perfume oil is needed.
• The alcohol filler in perfumes & colognes alter the fragrance of the perfume oil.
• The alcohol in perfumes and colognes actually irritate sensitive skin, not the perfume oil.
• The alcohol & fillers cause fragrance to evaporate faster, making you use more, more often.
• Pure perfume oils have a indefinate shelf life. Commercial perfumes have a shelf life of only 6 to 18 months.

Secrets No More

It has been a long time since......
The word perfume is derived from a Latin word "Per Fumum" meaning "through smoke." The art of perfumery was known to the ancient Chinese, Hindus, Egyptians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans.

The burning of incense in religious rites of ancient China , Palestine , and Egypt led gradually to the personal use of perfume known as attars, widespread in ancient Greece and Rome . During the Middle Ages, crusaders brought the knowledge of perfumery to Europe from the East. After 1500, Paris was the major center of perfume-making followed by Egypt and other middle eastern countries.

We have teamed up with a renowned French perfumer and are excited about being able to offer popular and premium fine quality fragrance at affordable prices.

Now smelling great does not have to cost you more!!

What's the fuss between fragrance oil and ordinary perfumes?
When you purchase alcohol-free fragrance oil, what you are getting is pure perfume oil that is far more sophisticated then over-the-counter perfumes. The pure perfume oil emits a fine scent that is delicate yet strong but never offensive or overpowering.

Known for its well-balanced characteristics and long-lasting smell, perfume oil is pure and unadulterated by industrial fillers such as alcohol, white oil and water. These fillers, commonly found in the over-the-counter perfumes are used to make up the volume for larger packaging.

Why do they add alcohol in your perfumes?
Alcohol has a low evaporating point so it dries quicker than water. Hence mixing perfume oil with alcohol causes the oil to evaporate faster than they would by themselves. This gives the impression that the perfume is considerably stronger than it actually is. That is why, when you first put on a commercial fragrance, the aroma may sometimes seem overwhelming to those around you. This also explains why the scent fades dramatically within one or two hours as the perfume oil evaporates along with the alcohol.

The second reason for all those fillers is just clever marketing -- a bigger and fancier bottle containing fragrance plus fillers seems like a much better value than a smaller simple packaging of pure perfume oil.

What's the problem with alcohol anyway?
Alcohol tends to kill off or mask some of the subtle notes in many fragrances.

Ethyl alcohol is the most popular alcohol found in ordinary perfumes. It is extremely caustic. Many people who think they are allergic to the perfumes are actually allergic to the alcohol added in the perfume.

Alcohol is a drying agent - it makes things evaporate including the fragrance and your natural body oils.

Alcohol also is a forbidden substance to be associated with the Muslim users.

How long do One Drop Perfumes last?
A well-established fact is that oil based perfumes do not evaporate quickly and will settle on the skin for much longer, causing the scent to linger for a longer period of time.

The oil-based One Drop Perfumes last up to 12 to 24 hours - depending on your body chemistry. If you apply the fragrance on your clothing, the scent will last throughout the day as it permeates into the fabric of your clothing.

Hence it is no gimmick when claim you will smell great throughout the day with only one drop of our fragrance oil.

REMARKABLE FACTS REVEALED

Perfume Fact #1
50% - 90% of the cost of commercial perfume is marketing, not materials. Perfume is one of the most dramatic examples of the price not reflecting the cost of materials. Most people think that designer perfumes have all kinds of expensive and precious ingredients, and that is what makes it so expensive.

While this was true at one point, the real reason why most modern perfumes have such a high price tag is because of advertising, including:

• Glossy magazine ads in Cosmo, GQ, and other popular magazines
• Primetime TV commercials featuring hired celebrities
• Custom-designed boxes, fancy bottles, and glitzy packaging to make the perfume "look expensive" and attract the eye of shoppers.
• And don't forget the reseller's mark-up, which is usually twice the wholesale rate.

This answers the question, why One Drop Perfumes can be sold at a fraction of the designer perfume price.

Perfume Fact #2
Thanks to amazing advances in recent technologies , it is now possible to chemically analyze and recreate most fragrances, including designer perfumes. This is completely legal. It is impossible to copyright or patent a smell. (After all, can you imagine a monopoly on things that smell like rose? That would be ridiculous!)

The courts of law have held that - fragrance is something that belongs to the nature and not to any individual. As a result of this, a fragrance cannot be patented or copyrighted. On the other hand a brand name can be copyrighted and registered and others may not profit from its use. For this reason we want to be very clear that we do not represent any particular perfume house or their products. Our fragrance oils were only inspired by these remarkable designers.

Perfume Fact #3
Designer-inspired fragrance oil used to be available only to a niche and selected few. Today, its popularity is growing steadily. Discerning customers are now more aware and able to appreciate this sophistication of fine fragrance. Moreover, having learned that ingredients in fragrance oil and most generic perfumes are quite the same hence there is no reason for one to spend on astronomically-priced generic perfumes.
