How are Scented Oils Blended?

  

   Once the perfume oils are collected, they are ready to be blended together according to a formula determined by a master in the field, known as a "nose."  The nose is an experienced perfumer who can discern many of the ingredients in the mixture. He or she knows what is needed to reach a desired effect and can direct the blending of the product to cause it to appeal to a certain segment of the market.

It may take as many as 800 different ingredients and several years to develop the special formula for The Perfumer has to develop the fragrance and keep meticulous records of what the mixture contains and how much of each ingredient.

After the scent has been created, it is mixed with alcohol. The amount of alcohol in a scent can vary greatly. Most full perfumes are made of about 10-20% perfume oils dissolved in alcohol and a trace of water. Colognes contain approximately 3-5% oil diluted in 80-90% alcohol, with water making up about 10%. Toilet water has the least amount—2% oil in 60-80% alcohol and 20% water.

Perfume Oils contain no water at all. They are the actual ingredients of smell suspended in an oil base. Order scented Oils for Men and Women
