Random talk on perfume materials
The word perfume comes from the Latin word "per fumum", which means "penetrating smoke". The perfume mentioned in the Old Testament usually refers to the formation of a spice, which is consistent with the Latin definition. Egyptian history shows that essence and ointment are used in bathing and after bathing. They are usually kept in exquisite containers, which are found in the tombs of ancient Egypt. In the Middle East and other parts of the Far East, as well as China, people have long learned to use the fragrance of spices to realize the pursuit of beauty. In BC 1500, the use of perfume became more and more common. Cleopatra often bathes with 15 kinds of perfume and sesame oil, and even soaks the sails with perfume. The ancient Romans liked to spray perfume everywhere, on horses and even in the mortar for building walls. In ancient Egypt, it was illegal not to wear perfume in public places. After the death of the ancient Egyptians, the corpse was wrapped with spices to make it last forever (mummified). Ancient Greek women also put perfume on religious ceremonies. Some people think that Persians discovered how to extract the essence from flowers by distillation; The Arabs created religious ceremonies using perfume. It is their use of exotic spices that laid their important position in the perfume development industry in the next few centuries. Asians have a great influence on the development of perfume use. They think that perfume can not only make people more beautiful, but also make people live longer. Later, with the decline of the Roman Empire, the development of perfume was divided into two different fields. On the one hand, German priests invented distillation technology; On the other hand, the perfume kingdom-a unique perfume introduced by France from the East, explores its aromatic characteristics. As a result, European perfume technology began to enter a prosperous period.
/kloc-the first batch of modern perfumes was born in the 0/4th century. It is a mixture of essence and alcohol, and was developed at the request of Queen Elizabeth of Hungary.
From15th century to the end of19th century, Italians widely used perfume. /kloc-In the 6th century, there was a strong smell of animal fat, which soon spread to France, Britain and other European countries.
1709, Italian Johann Maria Farina made a magical liquid with a strange smell in Cologne, Germany, which was called "Cologne". When Catherine de medici married Henry II of France, she came to France with her perfumer and opened her first perfume shop. French people who love clothes and cosmetics show unusual enthusiasm for perfume and are eager for it. Louis XIV was addicted to perfume and became "the emperor who loved perfume". He even called on his subjects to wear different perfumes every day. In the period of Louis XV, Madame Pompadou and Madame du Barry had a special liking for perfume just like clothing, and they did the same thing from top to bottom in the palace. Therefore, everyone's ornaments and clothing, and even the whole court, were full of fragrance, and they were called "the palace of perfume", and the whole Paris became the "perfume capital". Marie Antoinette, the queen of Louis XVI, especially likes a perfume with viola and roses as the main raw materials. At this time, the trend of perfume bathing was once again set off, and the luxury that had never been seen since Roman times was restored. At that time, perfume was considered to have the functions of relieving fatigue, relaxing nerves and treating diseases. At that time, people sprinkled perfume on handkerchiefs and carried it with them to make the whole body smell fragrant. Later, because Marie Antoinette was hanged during the French Revolution, she was named "The Essence of Hanging". Another perfume fan is Napoleon. During the election campaign, he used 65,438+02 kilograms of perfume ("fagonard") every day. When he was exiled to the island, he made mint perfume, called eau de toilette, which became a model of perfume in the future. Queen Josephine has a special liking for musk, so that she left the good name of "Musk Queen".
With the development of perfume industry, flower planting has become an important industry in the south of France18th century and continues to this day. With the development of perfume industry and the increasing particularity of perfume, the demand for basic perfume increases. Therefore, flowers, fruits, trees and anti-volatile agents used to make perfumes are produced all over the world.
/kloc-Since the second half of the 9th century, volatile solvents have replaced the early distillation method, especially the birth of French synthetic perfume. Perfume is no longer limited to a single natural fragrance, and the perfume family has also grown rapidly, laying the foundation for modern perfume industry.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was permeated with an atmosphere of freedom and independence. After the First World War, people were liberated from the Victorian era, and perfume just reflected the brand-new atmosphere of freedom at that time. At that time, because of the war, the female population was nearly 2 million more than the male population. /kloc-women in the 1920s were romantic models, and they chose flowers with feminine charm from limited choices to show their charm. With the evolution of the times, women have broadened their social horizons, so the fragrance of perfume is less rich and sweet, mixed with the warm and quaint fragrance of dried moss. In the 1920s, women's clothing, perfume and image all changed from classical to modern. All this is attributed to the French fashion master Chanel, who created the world's first perfume containing acetaldehyde-chanel no.5. This classic perfume has a refreshing and elegant fragrance, which embodies the self-reliance and rational spirit of women in the new era and makes women wearing professional clothes solemn and charming. Another perfume, ar Peng, contains acetaldehyde and brings together more than 60 kinds of flowers, fruits and woody plants. Its fragrance is elegant, fresh and refined, which makes people fondle it. With the expansion of women's social activities, women began to use different perfumes on different occasions. Guerlain, a famous French cosmetics company, launched the first oriental perfume, which showed unrestrained passion and mature charm. Since then, perfumes with oriental spices and exotic scents of oriental plants have been deeply loved by women.
World War II in the 1940s obviously affected the production of perfume. French India, East India and perfume suppliers stopped production because of the war, which stimulated businessmen to make their own perfumes. The war also dragged women into nightmares. American women rushed to buy perfume for their relatives who went to the front line, hoping that the fragrance in the letter ahead would give them a sense of existence. After the war, the perfume industry developed rapidly, and flowers gave deep comfort to people who suffered from the war. Nina Ricci's perfume "Fly with me" seems to give people a bunch of flowers picked from the morning dew. 1947, the French master Dior launched his masterpiece "New Look" and his perfume "Miss Dior". The dress known as the "new look" is as charming as a flower, and the fragrance of "Miss Dior" is gentle and elegant, which really makes women reappear after the war.
In 1950s, Estee Lauder combined with the culture at that time, which brought great influence to perfume. 1952, Estee Lauder Company launched Youth Dew, which is a perfume with floral and fruity fragrance and full of youthful flavor, making people feel relaxed and casual, thus breaking the convention of using perfume only on grand occasions.
In the 1960 s, young people regarded perfume as fashion, and youth rebelled and abandoned tradition to become fashion. Perfume also began to pursue avant-garde style, and colorful schools appeared.
In 1970s, with the upsurge of feminist movement, women began to take off their skirts, put on pants and spray men's eau de toilette. Sauvage perfume full of cool citrus flavor is most favored by fashionable women. Catering to the social trend of thought, Diorelle of Dior Company and Cristalle of Chanel Company came out one after another, which brought new feelings to women. Chloe, Oscar and Neuer, who show women's elegant style, are also very popular. In this era, the masterpiece of perfume is Yves Saint Laurent's opium, which exudes attractive oriental fragrance and its name is shocking. The white linen introduced by Estee Lauder 1978 has added jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, citrus and other spices to become a noble and hearty perfume, reminding people that perfume can also be used for daily use, not for special occasions.
80' s is an era of tradition returning and nostalgia, and also an era of perfume innovation. The wisdom, wealth and talent of yuppies make perfume a symbol of showing off their status. People admire the luxurious style of perfume. Poisonous perfume is filled with rich fragrance, attracting countless successful women. Women's perfume is as fragrant as flowers, while men's perfume is no longer limited to fresh eau de toilette. The Polo by the famous American clothing teacher Rauph Lauren, from the packaging to the masculine fragrance, makes people feel strong and energetic. At this time, perfumes are often of two fragrance brands, one for men and the other for women. The design of perfume in 1980s seems to be exploring the philosophy of life. Calvin Klein, a famous American clothing teacher, introduced the perfume trilogy: obsession, eternity and escape, as if he were stating his views on life with fragrance, from addiction to complete consciousness. 1985 Estee Lauder introduces beauty, and points out that the choice of perfume is very personal. The function of wearing perfume is to share your personal feelings and charm with people around you. Three years later, Estee Lauder once again launched a bosom friend, and the rich fragrance made it impossible to ignore the existence of the perfumer.
Regarding the trend of perfume in the 1990s, Jacques Cavallier, a famous French perfumer, said, "In the 1980s, strong perfume was the world, but now, women are tired of pungent fragrance, because they don't think strong fragrance is needed to attract others' attention, so they choose perfume that can spark new sparks with them. "Women like the comfort and temptation brought by perfume, and even let it induce her to think of a certain feeling. Women like to smell the confusing fragrance of men's perfume, while men are the opposite. Neutral perfume can satisfy their curiosity and desire for heterosexual perfume. Perfume for men and women is the concept of fashion perfume in the 1990s. COMME des GARCONS eau de toilette, CK one eau de toilette, Paco Rabanne eau de toilette, Bvlgari eau de toilette, green tea perfume, etc. , are the products of the new era of neutral perfume. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo explained that the sex perfume COMME des GARCONS is designed for everyone, and whether you are a man or a woman, you are the most important. Paco introduced by Paco Rabanne is fresh and refined, elegant and pleasant. Its cold exterior packaging design also has a sense of the future, catering to a new generation of consumers in the 1990s. Bvlgari's green tea perfume is inspired by tea art and tea culture, because tea and tea art have always represented an interest in life, and relaxing and meditating with tea is a happy and carefree experience. This perfume is specially designed for men and women who advocate natural simplicity, carefree and know the art of life. Needless to say, Calvin Klein's "CK 1" has achieved great success in the world, which reflects the current world climate, that is, everyone keeps true to himself, but at the same time knows how to share everything with others.

Classification of perfume
It is difficult to distinguish different perfumes. Because it is not easy to describe a fragrance accurately. Eugene Rimme, originally from France, is a famous perfumer in Britain, and his company is still engaged in cosmetics manufacturing. At the end of 19, he tried to classify all kinds of perfumes into 18 (such as sandalwood, including sandalwood, balsam root and Chinese fir). At about the same time, another perfumer, Charles Piesse, tried to classify perfumes according to their corresponding grades. He thinks that the arrangement of perfume should have its own order like the tone of music. This method was not successfully popularized in the end, but some terms related to music have been preserved to this day, such as harmony and tonality.
In 1920, William Poucher defines the volatility of spices with 100 as the base, which means that the faster the volatility, the more suitable it is to be a top-grade fragrance. For example, orange (one of the most volatile smells), mint, bergamot and mimosa are the most common. However, smells with good persistence, such as Long Xianxiang, sesame oil, rose, oak moss, frankincense, sandalwood, vetiver root and patchouli, are usually used as final notes.
At present, the classification of spices has reached this level. For many years, people thought it was simple and clear to make a rough description of various fragrance types. Common descriptions are amber, wood, fragrance, leather, light, cedar, citrus, rosin, dry, crystal, earth, floral, smoked, fruity, sweet, spicy, shiny, tobacco, grass, hay, grass and grass. There are many names. And with the passage of time, new descriptions will continue to appear. Because of the different proportion of spices, the volatilization rate of sesame oil has become an important index of modern spice industry. By the end of 19, the perfumer invented a single perfume (unique perfume), which only emits the fragrance of specific plants.
According to the concentration of essence and solution used, perfumes can be roughly divided into the following categories:
Perfume (perfume)
The concentration of essence is the highest, the content is about 18~25%, and the concentration of ethanol used is between 60~95%. The fragrance is rich and lasting, which can make fragrant cotton float everywhere. Because essence is composed of dozens or hundreds of spices, it is expensive. Recommended for areas with active pulse, such as wrist, behind knee and neck.
Perfume (perfume)
The concentration of essence is between 12 and 18%. The fragrance is lighter than perfume, but stronger than eau de toilette.
Light perfume
Also called washing water. The content of essence is between 5~ 12%, and the concentration of ethanol used is between 75~90%. Lighter than perfume, it gives people a refreshing feeling and is an ideal perfume for the whole body.
Eau de cologne (eau de toilette)
That's cologne. The content of essence is 3-5%, and the concentration of ethanol used is 60-75%.
The parting of perfume
According to the research summary of relevant experts, with the development of essence and fragrance technology, perfume has formed different factions such as naturalism, realism, impressionism and expressionism.
Naturalism: Before18th century, synthetic perfume did not appear, and all perfumes at this stage belonged to naturalism. Its raw materials are pure natural plant and animal extracts, and its representative product is 17 10, the famous "cologne", which is still popular today.
True school:/kloc-After 0/8th century, synthetic spices appeared. Natural perfume and synthetic perfume are often used to adjust fragrance, and their fragrance emphasizes close to natural fragrance to give perfume a natural sense of reality. The representative product of this school is 1902 Roger &; "Vera Violette" perfume produced by Gallet Company is made of synthetic ionone.
Impressionism: Aroma created with one's own impression of reality as the theme. Its creativity is the reproduction of a natural aroma by the founder at that time and in the local area. It contains a lot of humanistic (subjective) flavor, which can be seen from its name: for example, "perfume in early May" represents the fragrance of lilacs in early May; Another example is "my sweet pea", which refers to the fragrance (climate and temperature) of my sweet pea at that time.
Expressionism: After World War I, perfumers put more emphasis on the fragrance theme and emotional color of perfume. They not only get a wide range of fragrance themes from nature, but also give full play to their imagination and express things, memories and feelings based on actual impressions. Such as chanel no.5 (produced on the 5th, 192 1), Surprise (produced in Leiren, 1935) and My Seal (produced in Maghref, 1944). Judging from the recent creation of tiaoxiang, it is biased towards the integration of "expressionism" and "true school" Open the perfume bottle, let people walk among the flowers, the fragrance is extremely elegant, close to the natural floral fragrance, giving people unlimited reverie, and integrating with people's pursuit of beauty, nature and individuality.
Perfume goes with the flow.
☆ Fragrance trend ☆
In 1960s, the synthetic perfume neoacetaldehyde was widely used. In 1970s, rich green fragrance was very popular. In the 1980 s, women were more confident, and the fragrance type was mainly luxurious and enchanting oriental fragrance. In the second half of 1980s, fragrance began to attach importance to natural orientation. In the early 1990s, it was mainly about calming the mind. The choice of perfume has become more and more diversified, and neutral perfume and baby perfume have also been produced. At the end of 1990s, the trend of perfume was retro again, and the soft floral fragrance of romantic women was popular again, especially in Asia. The era of neutral fragrance is over, replaced by floral fragrance that makes women more feminine and men more masculine.
In addition, perfume is no longer limited to the first, middle and last three flavors. Some perfumes are only divided into two sections, and some are even divided into six sections, which have long broken through the traditional bondage.
The taste grade of perfume
With the passage of time, the fragrance is constantly volatilizing, and the volatilization speed of various spices is different, which also causes the fragrance to be different in different time periods. In this way, the basic idea of perfume structure was formed and put into practice in Jicky Perfume by Aimee Guerlain in 1889. Since then, this pyramid structure (or three-stage, three-layer and classic structure) has been adopted in large-scale perfume production. That is to say, there are three stages in the basic fragrance type: the first fragrance of the first fragrance, the base fragrance of the middle fragrance and the last fragrance of the last fragrance.
Qianxiang (or Qianxiang, Touxiang, Touxiang and Chuxiang) is the most volatile component in perfume, which refers to the aroma that people first perceive after spraying perfume, that is, the aroma characteristics that people first feel. It can only last for a short time, maybe only a few minutes. Its function is to give people a preliminary overall impression and attract attention.
Intermediate fragrance (or middle tone, core tone and body fragrance) appears immediately after the former fragrance, emitting the main fragrance of perfume. It is the faint scent of perfume when it begins to blend with chemicals on your unique skin (just like everyone's unique fingerprints). This is the main fragrance feature of perfume, which can remain stable and consistent for a long time. It embodies the most important fragrance of perfume and generally lasts at least 4 hours.
The aftertaste (or tail tone, back tone, tail tone, bottom tone, bottom tone, deep tone, body tone, escape tone and scattered tone) is the most persistent part of the fragrance, that is, the part that volatilizes slowly. The persistence of fragrance makes it a summary part of the whole perfume. The aftertaste can last for a day or longer, and some perfumes can last for several days or even dozens of days. (digression: pink I think the fragrance can last so long ... I doubt it ... if I spray it on my body, it won't drip down ... especially the essence of EDT ... I'll know ... it's expensive ... and I buy rice and silver-_-#)
For the convenience of description, the main contents of three levels of perfume are often written in pyramid form and arranged in sections. Of course, although most perfumes are described by pyramid tonality, there are exceptions, such as aldehyde fragrance, which is unique. Other chemical raw materials are nothing special. Therefore, for taxonomists, the golden pyramid principle can be regarded as a relatively complete guide to perfume structure. When pure essence is used in the formula, the perfumer will make special instructions in the pyramid structure. (for example, the advertising words of "tuberose" perfume), such perfume is often of high quality and expensive.
Common sense of fragrance modulation
A good perfume needs you to spend your whole life to experience the art and science created by its fragrance. The possibilities are endless and new inventions emerge one after another. To understand the taste of perfume, we need to know how its single fragrance and mixed fragrance are made. Making perfume is an art; Like other arts, the artistic achievement of perfume has experienced several subjective and emotional levels. When all kinds of flavors are mixed together, magical things happen. Various raw materials interact, some of which have no or only slight odor, but they often act as catalysts for other raw materials, thus changing the original characteristics. You can't guess the taste of all the ingredients when you smell only one ingredient of a perfume. This is a mysterious and strange part of perfume.
Aroma blending is the abbreviation of aroma blending, which refers to the technology and art of blending essence. According to the proposed fragrance type and aroma, the selected essence is modulated into a harmonious, romantic and fantastic essence by using the fragrance blending method. A perfumer should have rich knowledge of spices and flavors, sensitive sense of smell, good artistic accomplishment, rich imagination and solid theoretical basis and synthesis technology of flavor blending.
Flavor blending needs to go through three stages: formula test, sample test, large sample blending and seasoning test.
