Types of Fragrances
Four Types of FragrancesPerfumes are made of water, alcohol and perfume oil (fragrance). There are four main different types of perfumes ranging in levels of concentration. They include: Eau de Cologne (EDC): this has 3-5% perfume oils and is the lightest and most inexpensive perfume. Eau de Toilette (EDT): contains 4-15% perfume oils increasing its price. Eau de Parfum (EDP): this has 15-22% perfume oils increasing its price. Parfum: contains 22-50% perfume oils and is the highest concentration. This makes it last a lot longer and it is the most expensive. Eau de, a French word meaning water of, are the least concentrated perfumes.
Men and Women's Perfume The making of both men?s and women?s perfume is the same. Although, women?s perfume tends to have more floral notes while men?s perfume tends to have more wood and citrus notes. Many brands are now bringing out unisex perfumes which are becoming increasingly popular with Calvin Klein CK Be becoming one of the most popular unisex fragrances.
Top Perfume Categories Perfume has been around for thousands of years and is a multi billion dollar empire with the fragrance industry making ten billion dollars in sales last year alone. These fragrances are categorized into three main categories including: Floral: these are the most popular category making up close to half of the fragrance industry. This category is mostly feminine and connected to romance. Floral fragrances are made up of fruity blends such as pineapple, peach and apple. They are also made up of floral arrangements. Popular flowers used are rose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang ylang and iris. Technology enables perfumers the ability to clone the scent of blooms from which no oil can be extracted by traditional methods. This allows new and exciting floral fragrances to be invented every year. Popular floral perfumes are Jadore for Women by Christian Dior , Diamonds for Women by Giorgio Armani and Envy for Women by Gucci .
Oriental: these are the heaviest of all scents and are the most popular in Europe and America. These are connected and known as being exotic and sensual scents.
Main ingredients of oriental fragrances include blends of oriental resins, vanilla, spices, musk?s and opulent flowers.
Many male fragrances are oriental scents.
Popular oriental perfumes are With Love for Women by Hilary Duff, Dune for Women by Christian Dior and Armani Code for Men by Giorgio Armani.
Citrus: this is another category of popular fragrances and is one of the oldest types. Citrus fragrances tend to be very sporty and vigorous, perfect for summer wear.
Many unisex fragrances are citrus with the main ingredients including lemons, mandarins, bergamot, oranges and grapefruit.
