De la planta al perfume
Antes de que pueda comenzar la fabricación, se deben reunir los ingredientes iniciales, ya sean naturales o sintéticos.
En el caso de los ingredientes naturales (como flores, hierbas, especias, frutas, madera, raíces, resinas, hojas y gomas), esto puede implicar recolectar materiales naturales de todo el mundo.
A menudo, estos ingredientes se recogen a mano y se destilan o extraen en el campo para preservar su fragancia. Los aceites se extraen de las plantas mediante varios métodos, como la destilación al vapor, la extracción con disolventes y la expresión.
También se utilizan materiales sintéticos como el alcohol y los petroquímicos para “recrear” aromas naturales, lo que puede hacer que su uso sea menos costoso y consuma menos recursos.
Con estos ingredientes, los perfumistas pueden mezclar una fórmula que coincida con la solicitud de sus clientes.
The journey from source to scent
1 · Gathering ingredients Harvested flowers, woods, resins and fruit zests are distilled, expressed or extracted next to the fields to lock in aroma. In parallel, specialty chemists make complementary molecules — often to recreate rare notes or boost performance.
2 · The perfumer’s palette Around one thousand trained “noses” worldwide spend years learning to identify thousands of smells and to write formulas — balancing top, middle and base notes so the fragrance unfolds over seconds, minutes and hours.
3 · Evaluation & refinement Trial blends are placed in shampoos, candles or fine-fragrance bases and tested for intensity, longevity and how they interact with other ingredients. Dozens of adjustments later, the winning formula is locked.
4 · Manufacture & quality checks The final oil is produced in stainless-steel reactors under strict quality controls, then shipped to brand partners who dose it into finished consumer products at precisely the right concentration.
““Creating a fragrance is where chemistry meets poetry.””
From blend to product
Once the creative brief is approved, automated blending systems reproduce the formula with part-per-million precision under Good Manufacturing Practice. Brand owners and fragrance houses work closely to match scent performance to product function — fresh laundry, long-lasting deodorant, sophisticated fine fragrance or welcoming home care.
Throughout manufacturing and distribution, strict quality controls, sustainability audits and the global IFRA Code of Practice guide every batch, so the fragrance that reaches consumers delivers pleasure and problem-solving performance in equal measure.
