perfumery

The art of creating fragrances from essential oils, terpenes, and aromatic compounds.

A fragrance composition unfolds in three stages: top notes evaporate first, heart notes define the character, and base notes provide lasting depth.

Natural sources include flowers, resins, bark, and citrus peels, while synthetic aroma molecules expand the palette of available scents.

Concentration determines the category — parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette — each with a different ratio of aromatic chemical compounds to solvent.

The craft of perfumery bridges chemistry, botany, and sensory art into a single discipline.
