5 MOST COMMONLY USED ESSENTIAL OILS FOR PERFUMES
1. LAVANDER
Lavender has long been a popular fragrance in perfumes, body care products and home
fragrance products. Nowadays, with fragrances that are reminiscent of nature being all the
rage, it's even showing up in home care products, like laundry detergents and dishwashing
liquid. The popularity of lavender is no surprise. Not only does it have a pleasant smell, but it
also conjures up images of fields of flowers in Provence, which gives it a somewhat romantic
association. This mild floral scent not only stands well on its own, but it also mixes well with
just about every other scent.
2. VANILLA
The pleasing scent of vanilla is super popular in many households because of the homey
feelings it evokes. It certainly helps that it's a scent namely associated with desserts. Typically
used in products like candles, room sprays and linen sprays, vanilla can be pungent or more
subtle, depending on the concentration used. While it's pleasing to the nose, there technically
is no such thing as vanilla essential oil, so beware of products that tout their vanilla
as aromatherapy.
3. GARDENIA
Floral fragrance oils are extremely popular and gardenia is no exception. Known for its potent
and alluring scent, this heady floral oil is particularly desirable in candles and room sprays. The
evergreen shrubs that produce the gardenia flower are known for their sweet scent and the
synthetic approximation is usually a close match. Since the natural gardenia only flowers once
a year, it's no surprise that theessential oil is not very affordable.
4. GRAPEFRUIT
If you spend a little time in the aisles of your local grocery store, you'll notice that a big trend
in home fragrance is citrus scents, and grapefruit is definitely at the top of the list. Grapefruit
is one of the few affordable essential oils, but it's a top note and tends to evaporate quickly, so
it doesn't have the shelf life that retailers require. This means that most grapefruit scents on
the market are grapefruit fragrance oil. Grapefruit is also a popular choice to mix with other
citrus oils for a fresh and fruity blend.
5. Patchouli
Whether you love it or leave it, if you've ever encountered the smell of patchouli, it likely made
an indelible impression. Patchouli has had a loyal following since the 1970s, long identified as
the cologne of "dirty hippies." This intense, earthy yet sweet scent was rumored to mask the
smell of a not-so-legal herb. Today, those hippies are all grown up and now the smell is
reminiscent of their youth and freedom.

Collection
Before the manufacturing process begins, the initial ingredients must be brought to the
manufacturing center. Plant substances are harvested from around the world, often hand-picked
for their fragrance. Animal products are obtained by extracting the fatty substances directly from
the animal. Aromatic chemicals used in synthetic perfumes are created in the laboratory by
perfume chemists.

During enfleurage, flowers are spread on glass sheets coated with grease. The glass sheets are
placed between wooden frames in tiers. Then the flowers are removed by hand and changed until the
grease has absorbed their fragrance. Maceration is similar to enfleurage except that warmed fats are
used to soak up the flower smell. As in solvent extraction, the grease and fats are dissolved in alcohol
to obtain the essential oils Expression is the oldest and least complex method of extraction. By this
process, now used in obtaining citrus oils from the rind, the fruit or plant is manually or mechanically
pressed until all the oil is squeezed out. Hypercritical Co2 Extraction a new way of extracting oils
and very expensive. Co2 is used in this method.

formula determined by a master in the field, known as a "nose."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
