The word “perfume” is derived from a latin word "per fume", which means “through smoke”. Aromas are not the new concept. Initiated during early Christianity, their significant role was realized decades earlier. Perfumes not only overcome the acrid smell of sweat released by sweat glands, but also with their pleasant aroma create a long lasting memory impression as compared to face or name.


Perfumes are the commixture of fragrant essential oils, aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents. Perfume oil is necessarily diluted with a solvent and essential oils. The dilution is basic part of manufacturing process, which decreases the risk of injury or allergy when applied directly due to high concentration of volatile components. The most common solvent for perfume oil dilution is ethanol or a mixture of ethanol and water. Nowadays another method of dilution by neutral-smelling lipids such as jojoba, fractionated coconut oil or wax is preferred. After dilution comes the stage of filtration. It’s a process by which undesired particles are removed through processing equipments containing filters.


Depending upon the concentration of perfume oil, a classification has been introduced describing the intensity and longevity of the scent created.


  • Involving concentration of essential oil between 20%-40%, the fragrance family is called as perfume.
  • While if the concentration is between, 10%-30%, the precise name given is Eau de Parfum(EDP)
  • When the aromatic compound is from 5%-20%, the fragrance family is called as Eau de Toilette(EDT)
  • Eau de Cologne (EDC) is the name given for 2%-5% concentration level.

Incense classification can also be done on the basis of ingredients which are the hallmark of the scents and the duration of its stay. The standard families of fragrance included then are floral, oriental, woody, fougère and fresh which are further sub-divided.
