below you will learn a few of the terms in perfumery.
ABSOLUTE:
A concentrated fragrance material of a natural product, such as a flower (jasmine or rose). Processed by means of enfleurage, alcohol extraction, or steam distillation.
ACCORD:
A combination of raw materials blended together to find the proper balance and effect a perfumer desires when creating a fragrance. When the materials are properly mixed, they are said to be in accordance with each other.
ACCORD (2):
A balanced complex of 3 or 4 notes that lose their individual identity to create a completely new unified odor impression. Analogous to the musical terminology where several notes are combined to create a single tone that is part of a complete composition.
ALDEHYDIC:
This is often referred to as the “modern” group since at one time the various aliphatic aldehydes used to create this group were actually “modern” in the time sense of the word. Basically, an aldehydic fragrance may be one to which aldehydes have been added because of their brilliance and incisive effect. Characteristics of all aldehydic fragrances are their brilliant and exciting top note. The classic examples of this would be Chanel # 5 and White Linen.
AMBER:
A fragrance accord designed to impart fullness, sweetness, and warmth to a compound. Enhances the dry down of the fragrance and is of particular importance to the oriental type fragrance.
ANIMAL:
A note of animal origin derived from the natural isolates of civet, castoreum, or musk. These materials, plus some man-made synthetics have been used to demonstrate this subtle yet penetrating odor quality. An important note in the development of many fragrances used to impart richness and fullness to compositions. A good example of fragrances with heavy animal notes would be Beverly Hills Gale Hayman and Chimere.
ANOSMIA:
The medical term describes the total absence of the sense of smell, i.e., the inability to detect or recognize any vapor. It can occur temporarily after taking antibiotics and other drugs, or the result of an infection, influenza-like illness, head injury, or congenital abnormality or can be associated with severe allergic rhinitis.
AROMA CHEMICAL:
Among the Perfumer’s primary tools, some synthetic aroma chemicals duplicate chemicals that naturally occur in nature. These are classified as nature-identical aroma chemicals. The second category of aroma chemicals are those isolated from natural origins, and a third category are the synthetic aroma chemicals not known to be found in nature but contribute a unique odor value to help broaden a Perfumer’s library of tools.
AROMA-COLOGY:
A science conceived, named, and supported by the Olfactory Research Fund which is dedicated to the study of the inter-relationship of psychology and the latest in fragrance technology to transmit through odor a variety of specific feelings… relaxation, exhilaration, sensuality, happiness, and achievement… directly to the right side of the brain – the limbic system which is the seat of emotions, memory, creativity, and sensuality. Aroma-Cology is a service mark of the Olfactory Research Fund.
AROMATHERAPY:
The therapeutic use of pure essential oils and herbs in body massage, the rest of which is described by proponents as “healing, beautifying and soothing” the body and mind, has its roots in the folk medicine practiced in primitive cultures.
