5 Interesting Facts About Perfumes


Perfumes and fragrances are becoming an increasingly large part of our daily hygiene and self-care, yet we know very little about these magical bottled scents that usually always lift our spirits. In this blog, we learn a little about the history of perfumes along with common questions people when shopping.

  •  The world’s first recorded perfume-maker is Tapputi, she was a Babylonian chemist and a royal perfume maker. Little is known about her life, but the apparatus she used to refine her ingredients is the oldest recorded reference to such a method existing, making her one of the earliest chemical engineers. 
  •  The first perfume factory to produce perfumed oils dates back 4000 years to the Island of Cyprus. Although the Egyptians were the first to make perfume using it truly a part of their culture around 3000 years ago. They invented glass and stone vessels to hold their perfumed oils.
  •  The word perfume is derived from the Latin word “Per fumus” which directly translates to through smoke. When scents were first discovered man used them in the form of aromatic gum and burnt them on the altars as offerings, that is where the imagery through smoke comes from.
  •  The most common question is without a doubt, what is the difference between Eau de Tiolette, Eau De Parfum, Eau de Cologne and Parfume. The simple differentiation between these variations is dependent on the concentration of actual perfume oils in the bottle, this in turn affects the price and lasting time of the fragrance. Eau de Cologne being the lowest concentration containing 4-6%, Eau de Toilette contains 7-10%, Eau de Parfum 10-20% and Parfumes contain more than 20% concentration.
  • Another commonly asked question seems to be how one should store their perfumes so that the integrity and strength of the scent is maintained. Perfumes should be stored like wine is, in a cool and dark place so that the notes that the perfumers have worked so hard to create stay intact.

We will look at some techniques that have been tried and tested to make your fragrance last longer and preserve the integrity of your scents. 1.          Do: Apply directly to your skin - “The oil-loving properties of the skin make it the perfect medium for the perfume oils to attach to” says Matthew Milèo, a chemist, and former in-house fragrance expert for Chanel, “ the warmth of the skin starts the unravelling process and the scent is free to fully express itself.” For a powerful scent-to-skin adhesion, try layering perfume over body lotion or oil. 2.         Don’t: Apply to your hair - Most individuals want hair that smells amazing that’s why the current emphasis is on well-scented shampoos and conditioners.
