========== Teacher article sharing==========
**[The logic of fragrance mixing]**
Jo Malone's "English Pear and Freesia" is probably the most popular perfume in Taiwan right now. It's so popular that all kinds of fragrance products have freesia flavor, ranging from homemade perfumes from small brands, to diffuser bottles and fragrance sprays from home life stores, to shampoos and shower gels. A 100ml bottle of Jo Malone's "English Pear and Freesia" perfume costs more than NT$5,000. A bottle of "English Pear and Freesia" shower gel in the store only costs NT$200. Have you ever thought: "It's so big What’s the difference in price and taste?” You must be able to tell this! Otherwise, what is the purpose of spending so much money on genuine perfume?
Generally speaking, if high-end items and affordable items are from the same series of fragrances, the scent of the high-end items will be richer and more natural, while the scent of the affordable items will be more monotonous and have a more chemical feel. So what is chemical sense? In fact, this is an adjective that is difficult to define, but relatively easy to understand. The chemical sense is actually compared with the smell of natural raw materials. Because the substances that exist in nature are themselves complex compounds, the smell is rich and varied while being relatively balanced. In contrast, synthetic raw materials/monomers have a single composition and simple smell. If you are not careful when blending fragrance, it will cause an imbalance in the smell spectrum. This imbalance is what gives the olfactory senses a chemical sensation. Another reason for the chemical feeling is that perfumers use synthetic raw materials/monomers to create smells that do not exist in nature, so that the olfactory senses cannot classify the smell based on experience, resulting in the impression of chemical feeling.
Is chemical sense necessarily bad? Of course not. For those who like commercial perfumes, perfumes made with only natural raw materials may feel less light and transparent, and may feel like the smell of a SPA shop. At this time, you only need to add some synthetic raw materials in an appropriate amount to add some "chemical sense" and make the original taste feel a little more natural. At this time, most friends will say: "That's right, it looks like a commercial perfume!" .
Of course, what professional perfumers consider is not just smell. Cost is often the biggest consideration. Even if you know that you need to add a certain ingredient to upgrade the texture, you still have to give it up due to cost. Especially for daily fragrances, the cost of fragrance raw materials may be only one-tenth of that of the same type of perfume, or even less. Professional perfumers are like magicians of scent. Dozens of raw materials are originally needed to compose a fragrance. In consideration of cost, they abandon high-priced and unimportant raw materials and only use a few alternative raw materials with lower unit prices to create the same feeling. The smell makes it difficult for consumers to tell the difference at first sniff.
If the cost factor is ignored, is there any logic that can be followed in perfumery?
I arbitrarily divide fragrance into two structures: one is based on natural raw materials and synthetic raw materials as supplements. The other is based on synthetic raw materials and supplemented by natural raw materials. Why is it divided like this? Let's explain the thinking logic. Of course, this is just a personal interpretation, you/you can also have different approaches~
1. Use natural raw materials as the main body and synthetic raw materials as supplements
Natural raw materials account for most of the smells that ordinary people come into contact with in their daily lives. Because everyone is familiar with these smells, it is not easy to mix up weird, disgusting, dizzy and vomiting smells. But this is an advantage and a disadvantage, just like partners living under the same roof, although they don't hate each other, they also lack a little spark of love.
It is very difficult to use natural raw materials to create a perfume that is light, transparent and lasts for a long time. It requires a long time of experience accumulation and experimentation. Even very experienced perfumers can only achieve a certain level by using only natural raw materials. It is almost impossible to achieve the same lightness, transparency, long-lasting fragrance and diffusion power as commercial perfumes. But in fact, as long as some synthetic raw materials are added in an appropriate amount to adjust the smell, natural perfume can also have a texture similar to commercial perfume, but without a strong "chemical feeling". It still has a natural and comfortable smell, but it has the characteristics of lightness, transparency and long-lasting fragrance.
What synthetic ingredients can be added? Please refer to this article [Adding synthetic ingredients to natural perfume recipes]. Of course, these are not the only synthetic raw materials that can be added. Grassy (leaf alcohol), fruity (Beta Damascone/Rose Oxide), aldehyde (Aldehyde C-11/C-12), sweet (Vanillin/Maltol)... are all suitable. Add to.
Maybe you/you are a little confused: "If you can add anything, how is this different from synthetic raw materials/single fragrances?"
The first thing to do when learning about synthetic/monomeric fragrances is of course learning and smelling them. Once the raw materials are memorized, the next step is to learn how to make aroma chords, which is the so-called imitation aroma. For example, the basic rose aroma can be composed of these three raw materials (please refer to [Accords]):
PEA (phenylethyl alcohol) 444
CITRONELLOL (Citronellol) 333
GERANIOL (Geraniol) 222
The above raw materials do not include rose essence/essential oil. However, if we use natural raw materials as the main structure, we will not do this. We will still use rose essence as the main body, and then add various raw materials to make the roses come alive. For example:
Rose geranium/enhance the scent of rose
Ylang Ylang/increases the softness of roses
Orange Blossom/Creates a fresh and bright feeling
Lilac buds/increase layering
Violet leaf/green leaf feeling and high-end feeling
Wait until the main body of the rose fragrance is completed, and finally add some synthetic ingredients to adjust the smell. For example: adding Rose Oxide (rose ether) to increase the sweetness of lychee, or adding Ambrtolide (ambretto lactone) to turn it into a musk rose, or adding Aldehyde C-11/C-12 to turn it into an aldehyde-scented rose. The main structure of this kind of rose is still made of natural raw materials, but because some synthetic raw materials are added, the smell is slightly deviated from "natural" and adds some "chemical sense" and "abstract sense". Even natural believers will not feel uncomfortable if they smell the perfume created with this kind of structure. They may make them feel dizzy and vomiting.
2. Use synthetic raw materials as the main body and natural raw materials as the supplement
This structure is the main way of perfumery with synthetic raw materials/monomers, mixed with synthetic raw materials/monomers/natural raw materials. However, in this structure, natural raw materials are not the protagonist, and are usually only used to adjust the smell. In many cases, the purpose of using natural ingredients is to make the overall smell rich and layered, so that the finished product does not feel too chemical.
When perfume is blended this way, the aroma chords are the most important part of the entire perfume. For example, if you want to mix a bottle of "Patchouli Rose" fragrance, the first step is to determine the aroma and chords of the rose. Of course, the rose aroma and chords may also contain Damascus/Thousand-Year Rose essence, but it is definitely not the protagonist. In most fragrance chords, natural ingredients only play a harmonizing role. Since it is a "patchouli rose" scent, of course, patchouli essential oil must be added. Patchouli is an essential oil with extremely complex ingredients. So far, it has been difficult to be replaced by synthetic raw materials. Fortunately, it is not too expensive.
In fact, the biggest difference between high-end perfumes and daily fragrances is the use of natural raw materials. Natural raw materials have high cost, unstable quality, and sometimes contain allergens. These are the reasons why daily fragrances are avoided.
