Classification of fragrances by smell - floral, chypre and others...


There are several different classification systems, but one of the first classifications of fragrances was proposed by Carl Linnaeus in 1756. However, aromas underwent special study in the twentieth century.


Basically, scents are divided into 20-30 categories (amber, woody, floral, fruity, etc.). However, all classifications are subjective. Just like people, smells have their own character, their own style, their own personality. If you know which group your favorite scent belongs to, then it will be easier to find another favorite scent, and maybe more than one. Now at modern world So everything changes quickly, and in the cycle of change we become fickle. We are carried away by one thing or another. We are trying to change ourselves, our image, our style. And this is not just an imitation of this or that, it becomes a need.....



So, what is the classification of fragrances?


There are French, German, American classifications. All European classifications are based on the principle of the predominance of certain components. However, they also change in the course of events, are replenished with new ones every year, and new subgroups are formed. And some perfume companies have their own varieties of fragrances. The most famous classification was proposed by the French perfume committee Comite Francais De Parfum. All fragrances are divided into seven main families: floral, fern (fougere), oriental (amber or oriental), hesperid (citrus), leather, woody. Each family in turn is divided into subgroups. There are, for example, floral-fruity, chypre-fruity, woody-aromatic, etc.



Let's look at the main classes of fragrances.


Floral
This is, one might say, the largest family. In this class, the dominant theme is flowers. Moreover, the main note can be the scent of a single flower or a bouquet of flowers with additional notes - fruity, foresty.


Chypre
The first Chypre, created by François Coty, had a bouquet of patchouli, incense gum, oakmoss, and bergamot. These are the notes that characterize the chypre family. They have an invigorating freshness and sweetness. Among them there are both fruity-chypre and floral-chypre, which are lighter and more delicate. They contain aromas of peach, mirabelle, lily of the valley, rose, jasmine.


Ferns (fougeres)
In fact, this family of scents does not smell like ferns. Sometimes perfumers classify this family as a type of chypre. But more often they are assigned to their own family, among which there are many masculine scents. Fern aromas contain lavender, coumarin, bergamot, woody notes and oak moss. They have a fresh, slightly bitter smell. But they owe their name to the spirits of Ubigan (1882 - “Royal Fern”). There are fougere-spicy scents that contain floral notes with a hint of spice, such as cloves.


Amber (oriental)
Oriental aromas are bright, temperamental, with a spicy tint and an exotic sound. These smells are sweetish, piercing, a little heavy, with a balsamic tint. These fragrances contain some of the most erotic and sensual: rose, jasmine, orange blossom, iris, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, . In some classifications, odors containing more spicy substances are classified as spicy aromas. The latter are less sweet, since the dominant notes here are shades of cloves, pepper, woody notes and animal shades.


Citrus
For these aromas, extracts from the zest of bergamot, lemon, tangerine, and bitter orange flowers are used. This is the main chord of the family. They are accompanied by floral notes, most often jasmine, or woody notes. Sometimes subgroups of citrus fruits are distinguished: floral-chypre, spicy-citrus. The latter, in addition to citrus fruits, contain cloves or pepper, nutmeg or vanilla. There is also a woody-citrus subgroup, which also contains woody notes.


Leather
This family of fragrances appeared in the 20s of the twentieth century, when emancipated women became addicted to cigarettes. Leather notes used in perfumes are artificial. Genuine Leather It doesn't have a very pleasant smell. Therefore, in the leather fragrance family, the main note is a mixture of leather and other components. Among them, leather ones, floral leather ones, and tobacco leather ones stand out.
The aromatic accord in them is dry notes, characterized by the smell of leather: light woody aromas with a smoky aftertaste, tobacco and floral notes.


Woody
A family based on sandalwood and patchouli with the addition of cedar or vetiver. At the beginning of the composition there are citrus or lavender notes. Subgroups include pure woody aromas, woody-spicy, woody-aromatic, amber-woody, woody-leather.


At the end of the 20th century, another new family of fragrances appeared - marine fragrances. A new smell - the smell of sea air, the sea coast caused a wave of admiration when in 1991 Kenzo Takada created Kenzo Pour Homme. The aroma of pure ozone symbolizes the naturalness and purity of nature. Marine aromas usually have a slight floral undertone with the presence of fruity ones - peach or melon.



Today, fragrances have such a complex structure that it is sometimes difficult to classify them into a specific group. Sometimes the aroma includes substances from almost all groups. And most importantly, find your favorite one.

Buying perfumes (perfumes, eau de toilette, cologne...) every person wants to know how long he can smell after using it. Or what is aroma persistence. The main parameter influencing longevity of any scent, - This concentration contained in it" active substance" , or perfume composition. Although to some extent on the durability of the aroma its composition also influences- that is, each of them included in perfume composition substances have their own lifetime and durability.

What is a perfume composition?

In the previous paragraph the phrase " perfume composition". What is it and isn't it the same thing as the aroma itself?

Almost everything perfumes (eau de toilette, perfumes, day perfumes, aftershave lotions, deodorants) consist of perfume composition, alcohol and water. In general terms perfume composition- this is it a set of volatile aromatic substances, or oils, dissolved in alcohol of a certain concentration. The more of this substance per unit volume of the bottle, the more concentration of perfume composition. Why is a mixture of substances called a composition? Because when composing a fragrance, a perfumer uses not only the simultaneous, but also the sequential sound of different aromas, their compatibility and consistency of perception, thus composing not even a bouquet, but a whole “symphony” of aromas. But let's return to the concentration of the composition in various perfume products.

Depending on the concentration there are:

  • perfume (PARF, parfum, extrait)- 15-30% or more of the perfume composition in 90% alcohol.
  • eau de parfum, or toilet perfume (EDP, eau de parfum, parfum de toilette, esprit de parfum) - 10-20% perfume composition in 90% alcohol,
  • eau de toilette (EdT, eau de toilette) - 4-10% perfume composition in 85% alcohol.
  • Cologne (EdC, eau de cologne) - with cologne the situation is a little more confusing.
    If it's standard European product, then it is one of the least concentrated products. The concentration of the perfume composition is 3-5% in alcohol with a strength of 70%. However, if this Eau de Cologne made in USA , then by the standards of this country its concentration is 12-15%, which corresponds to quite persistent Perfumery perfume (Parfum de Toilette)
  • Can perfume last for several days?

    This article provides approximate figures known from experience. This will be the shelf life of fragrances if the product (perfume, eau de toilette, cologne) is applied to the body and is exposed to the environment. They officially test the durability of perfumes. in a special laboratory, by applying it to a special piece of paper ( blotters), no drafts, weather effects And " own chemistry" person. In such conditions, the persistence of perfume is much greater, and reaches several days.

    Perfume) - it is obvious that the most persistent type of perfume products are perfume. They hold on 5-10 hours. Perfumes are usually more expensive because they contain more perfume oils, the price of which is very high on the world market.

    Eau de parfum (eau de toilette, EdP)- the most common type of perfume because they have an optimal balance of price and durability (3-5 hours). In addition, for many companies, eau de parfum is the highest type of product in terms of extract concentration, since not all manufacturers consider it necessary (or possible) to release their fragrances in the form of perfumes.

    Eau de toilette (EdT)- is also in great demand due to its low price. In addition, almost all men's perfumes are presented in the form of eau de toilette. However, it is only enough for 2-3 hours. To prolong the effect of the aroma, It is recommended to use eau de toilette with related products(deodorants, body lotions and creams, aftershave lotions).

    However, they often say that perfume used to last for several days. Indeed, if we take old Soviet GOST, then perfumery in the USSR was classified differently.

    She was all called Perfume, and these spirits were divided into 4 groups: Extra, A, B and C
    The guest said: "Extra group perfumes contain at least 10% of the perfume composition (of the mass of the perfume), and the persistence of the odor must be maintained at least 60 hours" . If you still have perfume from Soviet times, try it. In principle, the smell of “Red Moscow” can be discerned on a test piece of paper after a few days. But you must admit, this is not the scent that many people would like to wear today.

    Other features are dependence on a specific person.

    Sometimes customers complain that “the perfume lasts all day on a friend, but after two hours I can’t smell it on myself.” Persistence of aroma also depends on skin characteristics specific person. It’s no longer a secret that the same aroma can reveal itself differently on different occasions. different people. The same thing happens with resilience. Some people's skin "holds" musky scents better, others "hold" vanilla better, others - woody notes. This can only be verified “experimentally” by trying various flavors directly on yourself.

    The persistence of the aroma also depends depending on skin type. The paler the skin, the drier it is and, accordingly, the aromatic substances of masculine and women's perfume evaporate faster from its surface. Oily skin , against, retains aroma longer. For dry skin types, some perfumers recommend applying cream to those areas of the body where you plan to apply perfume.

    If you are interested objective opinion about durability certain perfumes, then keep in mind that Fresh scents evaporate first, Citrus and floral fruits evaporate a little slower, woody - even slower and finally the real ones long-lived are oriental fragrances. You can prolong the effect of the scent if you know where to apply it. It is known that the scent lasts longest on clean hair. You can also apply perfume to a scarf, handkerchief, underwear, or blouse collar, but keep in mind that some scents smell completely different on clothing than on skin.

    Is it possible to compensate for quality with quantity?

    Many women try to compensate for the instability of the scent by trying to “scent” it as much as possible. The desired effect they will achieve it, and by the evening they will still smell like their favorite perfume. But think about the people who will be next to you in the first half of the day - just after you have perfumed yourself so generously! After all, not everyone can share your passion for one particular perfume. In my opinion, it is better to find a place in your purse for a bottle and carry it with you, from time to time “tweaking” the aura of your fragrance.

    And we should not forget that our sense of smell is designed in such a way that over time a person gets used to the aroma and it seems to him that it has weathered and no longer smells. This may give rise to the false impression that the perfume is not long-lasting. Therefore, keep in mind that if you use one scent for a long time, you may not smell it, although other people will smell it just fine.

    And the last thing I would like to dwell on.

    Persistence of aroma depends on the environment.

    Fragrances react differently to changes in temperature and air humidity levels. In the summer, when the sun gives us joy and warmth, aromas open faster, but they also evaporate faster. In winter (with low temperatures) the persistence of fragrances is usually higher than in summer, which is due to the fact that the fragrance evaporates more slowly.
    You can experiment by applying a fresh, light perfume in summer and winter. Perfumers recommend using warmer, sweeter and richer perfumes during the cold season. But in the summer, when we want coolness, a fresh citrus perfume will perfectly refresh you.

    And by the way, don't forget that the scent lasts less when near electrical equipment(computer, copier, etc.).

    Persistence of Extra group perfumes?

    According to the classification adopted in the Soviet Union, there were several other classes of spirits. Here is an excerpt from GOST:

    Based on composition and quality, the following types of perfumes can be distinguished: extra, A, B and C.
    Perfume extra contain at least 10% of the perfume composition by weight of the perfume and the greatest durability of the aroma (at least 60 hours).
    Group A perfumes contain at least 10% of the composition and have an odor persistence of at least 40 hours.
    Group B perfumes contain no less than 5% of the composition and no more than 10% water, durability of at least 30 hours.
    Group B perfumes contain at least 5% composition and 30% water.

    In ancient times, it was believed that every woman has her own natural smell, which attracts the attention of men to her. But a woman would not be a woman if she did not strive to improve her attraction; it was for this purpose that, since ancient times, aromatic mixtures were created from various plants, oils, and resins of coniferous trees. Did you know that perfumes were used in some of the earliest human civilizations, even 4000 years ago!!!

    Humanity developed, new methods of creating perfumes appeared, and perfumer was a very honorable and recognized profession. Books with recipes for fragrances are available in many museums around the world. It's no wonder there are so many types of scented perfumes on the market today!
