Some Simple Thoughts About Custom Fragrances

By Michael Vincent


There are many people who enjoy the various perfumes, lotions, and other scents around. Exploring and discovering new smells can be very exciting. Unfortunately, many of the most popular perfumes are overused in day to day life. For those who want something different, something personal, the concept of custom fragrances might be interesting.

There are two basic ways to go about obtaining a personal scent. Broadly speaking, it depends on whether or not you want to do the work yourself or have someone else do it for you. Whatever the decision, both strategies are reasonably easy and have a high expectation of good results in the end.

Starting with a commercially produced perfume that you like is often a good way to begin. In fact, the more currently available scents that you can name, the better. It will be important to identify which components are the ones you like the best.

Think of a perfume like a piece of music. There are high notes, middle range notes, and deep, thick bass notes. As in music, it is important not to make things too complicated and muddy with too many things going on at once. Although there are some who are such virtuosos that they easily pull off some utterly unlikely feats of note combination, it is unusual to see.

Perfumes are put together from essential oils. These are usually derived from plants, especially certain flowers. Different effects and smells can be produced from different parts of the plant. Some trees offer their bark and wood as aromatic components. Sometimes it is the fruits and flowers which produce the oils.

One popular spectrum of essential oils is called the gourmand range. These are usually derived from foods or food ingredients. As the name implies, they produce scents which are reminiscent of edibles. Vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, and hazelnut are four extremely popular gourmand notes. More sophisticated smells are also possible, such as cognac or truffle.

If making your own scents sounds good to you, it will be necessary to do some research ahead of time. There are some safety issues involved in handling and mixing certain concentrated essential oils. Also it is important to note that blending your own smells is a lengthy and somewhat boring process.

One of the things people like about wearing perfume or cologne is that it represents yet another avenue for self expression. Constructing their own custom fragrances can be a good way for people who are absolutely determined to smell different from their peers to get their plan underway.
