New In Our Product (Perfume Oils)

The manufacture of perfume, cologne and toilet water collectively known as the fragrances.Perfume may be defined as any mixture of pleasantly odorous substances incorporated in a suitable vehicle. It take its name from Latin word perfumare (to fill with smoke), since its original form it was incense burned in Egyptian temples. Early incenses were merely mixtures of finely ground spices held together by myrrh or storax

The next advance was the discovery that if certain spices and flowers were steeped in fat or oil. The fat or oil would retain a portion of the odoriferous principle. Thus were manufactured the ointments and fragrant unguents of Biblical fame. Avicenna, the Arabian physician, discovered steam distillation of volatile oils. During his search for medical portions, he found that flowers boiled in an alembic with water gave up some of their essence to the distillates.

The returning Crusaders brought to Europe all the art and skill of the orient in perfumery, as well as information relating to sources of gums, oils and spice. Rene, perfumer to Catherine de Medici, invented many new confections to delight the queenly nose and in his spare time, was one of the cleverest and deadliest of the famous de’ Medici poisoners. Many of the finest perfumes are imported from France. Classical colognes are at least 250 years old, having originated in Cologne, Germany; they were probably the first import.

VEHICLE

The modern solvent of blending and holding perfume materials is highly refined ethyl alcohol mixed with more or less water according the solubilities of the oils employed. This solvent, with its volatile nature, help to project the scent it carries, is fairly inert to the solutes and is not too irritating to the human skin.

FIXATIVES

In an ordinary solution of perfume substances in alcohol, the more volatile materials evaporate first, and the odor of the perfume consists of a series of impressions rather than the desired ensemble. To obviate this difficulty, a fixative is added. Fixative may be defined as substances of lower volatility than the perfume oils, which retard and even up the rate of evaporation of the various odorous constituents.
