Description
Perfume is a fragrant liquid typically made from essential oils extracted from flowers and spices, used to give a pleasant smell to one's body or surroundings. The art of creating perfumes, known as perfumery, involves blending various aromatic compounds to produce a harmonious and desirable scent. Perfumes are categorized based on their concentration of essential oils, ranging from pure perfume (or parfum) with the highest concentration, to eau de toilette and eau de cologne with lower concentrations. The fragrance of a perfume evolves over time, composed of top, middle, and base notes, which unfold in layers to create a complex olfactory experience.
