What is perfume.
How does perfume get its smell?
Aromas are everywhere! Mother nature is one aromatic dame.
You see, smell and touch and taste aromas all day long.
The beginnings of perfume can be go back thousands of years to
the early Egyptians. The first perfume was in a incense form.The origin of the word perfume comes from the
Latin words per and fumus, which mean through smoke. One of my favorite perfume sites has a great history of perfume. Osmoz
There are several methods of gathering scent from natural material Expression, distillation, extraction, enfleurage, synthetic molecules as well as others being discovered every day.
99% of all commercial perfumes on the market are made with synthetic molecules, AKA aroma chemicals.
We supply perfumers with the following products.
Raw Perfume Materials: Synthetic
molecules, AKA aroma chemicals:
Aroma chemicals are synthetic molecules. Each one adds individual properties to a perfume. Some are very strong and others have faint aromas.
Some smell great alone, others are unpleasant, but add important quality's to a perfumes formula. Raw perfuming materials are suited best for professional perfumers. Beginning perfumers may have more success with our Perfumery

and have developed aromas, unlike the raw perfume materials. The Raw Materials are

Essential Oils:
essential oils necessary components in perfume adding natural body and scent. But alone can a hard difficult way to make perfume.The perfumes of today are mostly made with aroma chemicals.
Perfumery Aromas:

The aroma accords are undiluted full strength aroma chemical blends. When a perfumer creates a perfume they use many, even hundreds of aroma chemicals. Its a difficult process with unlimited combination's of aromas. A trained perfumer knows the different aroma chemicals and how they work together. It takes years of study and a huge array of aroma products to create a perfume from scratch.
I think of cooking when I describe the process. Think of the accord as the meat in a dish. There are many different things you can do with chicken. Curry, garlic rosemary, tacos, soup . Its endless. The accords work the same way. Take the oriental accord. It can be used as a base with some jasmine or rose or it can have citrus aromas added to make a unique oriental perfume. The accords offer a easier way to build a great perfume without hundreds of aroma chemicals at hand.
