Perfume is made up of alcohol combined with a fixative, essential oils or chemical scents. Cologne is essentially a diluted version of perfume. Perfumes generally contain up to 30% essential oils whilst colognes only contain 1 -2% oils.
Some perfumes contain just one scent such as verbena but most have a combination of a high note, the first scent that reaches you, middle notes, sometimes called heart notes, which is the personality of the perfume and finally the base note which lingers on.
It is important to remember that perfume reacts with each person’s body scent to create a unique aroma. That’s why the same cologne can smell so differently on different people. This is why you should try perfume on your own skin before buying otherwise you may be disappointed. A good rule of thumb is to never test more than three perfumes at a time.
Fragrance falls into six basic groups:
- Florals: jasmine, lilac, gardenia, rose
- Herbal: lavender, bay, sage
- Exotic: musk, ylang-ylang, vanilla
- Spice: cinnamon, ginger, cloves
- Wood: pine, sandalwood, cedar
- Fruit: lemon, orange, peach
The perfume can have top, heart, and base notes all from one category or mix the notes from different categories.
Home made perfume can be fixed with glycerin or castor oil. Commercially perfume was often fixed with for a longer shelf life with civet oil, or musk. Today chemical replacements have been found.

Dolce Vita fragrance, Miss Dior, and Diorissimo. While celebrities have always endorsed perfumes, they’re now lending their name to perfumes like “Lovely,” by Sara Jessica Parker.
To prevent your perfume from disintegrating and turning sour make sure that you keep the bottle away from heat and light. Also the best bottles for perfume are small plus perfume should be applied with a stopper or spray so that the oil from your fingers doesn’t contaminate the perfume.
The cost of perfume ranges from the least expensive colognes around $25 a bottle to $215,000 a bottle for Imperial Majesty, a Clive Christian signature scent. The fragrance is $2,150 per ounce. To warrant a price tag of $215,000, a Baccarat crystal bottle was filled with 16.9 ounces of perfume and a five carat diamond and gold collar.
