Scents are associated with many different attributes. For instance, a strong, powerful, and woody fragrance is typically considered masculine, whereas any soft fragrance is associated with femininity. One of these attributes is romance, and perfumery puts a lot of emphasis on it. Any scent with white roses, orange blossom, or lilac with a nice base of musk, is generally considered romantic.
You would mostly see in movies, or read in tales about how in the past, women would be found strolling around in colourful gardens, plucking flowers, and putting them on their clothes or hair. By putting on flowers, women enhanced their physical beauty, while carrying a pleasant fragrance with them.
As things got advanced, science worked to bring all these ingredients in a bottle of perfume. You don’t see women picking flowers and accessorising their hair or dresses with them anymore, but they now achieve a similar effect by wearing perfumes that have similar notes.
While we’re talking about romantic fragrances, have you ever wondered what ingredients are commonly used to make up these perfumes? Let’s shed light on some of the most romantic ingredients in a perfume.
- The Floral Notes
- Rose: Rose has been considered one of the most beautiful flowers for centuries. Moreover, roses have also been the strongest symbol of love and romance. You must have watched a romantic movie or come across a love novel that shows how a young beautiful girl gets a bouquet filled with roses from her lover. Roses are called the queen of flowers, and therefore, they are a powerful depiction of love. Generally, roses are thought of as feminine, delicate, beautiful, and floral.
- Jasmine: Another most prominent flower used for making up fragrances is Jasmine. This is also known as the king of flowers, and it is also attached to the feelings of love and romance. Enfleurage is a historic process of extraction of the nectar of Jasmine, which is used to make scents from it, and this process is also considered the most romantic extraction process. Jasmine extracts are among the most highly-priced extracts in the world. The scent made from this flower extract is extremely sweet, fruity, and due to the presence of an indole molecule, it has an animalic touch to it.
- The Animalic Notes
- Civet & Castoreum: The civet and castoreum are some of the strongest musky ingredients, bearing striking resemblance to the white musks you usually see. The civet and Castoreum are extracted from the anal glands of Civet cats and the castor beaver, but due to the strict policies set by authorities to save animals, perfume companies only use synthetic animalic ingredients. In its natural form, the civet has a very strong and somewhat unpleasant smell. It is then diluted with other chemicals and ingredients to make it sweet and musky. The Civet ingredient adds great strength to the fragrance in any perfume and gives an amazing feeling when applied on the skin. On the other hand, the castoreum, which was discovered centuries ago by the Greeks, was extracted and worn to seduce the opposite gender.
- Indole: One of the most used molecules in perfumes, is the Indole. It brings a peculiar scent, which is powerful and intense. Usually, this molecule is found in white flowers like jasmine, tuberose, and even blossoms. The indole is considered to be a lustful molecule that arouses sensuality. This molecule has a very strong floral and extremely sweet fragrance. Most perfume experts deem this fragrance like the smell of intimacy. Indole helps attract the opposite gender. Just as flowers are responsible for the reproduction in plants, the indole can be said to be doing the same job for humans!
- The Edible Notes
If you’re a person who loves to have sugary food, you’ll certainly fall in love with all the fragrances that are composed of edible ingredients. Let’s take a look at some of the most used ones.
- Vanilla: it’s highly probable that you’re not aware of the origins of Vanilla. The artificial food flavor comes from castoreum, but don’t worry, it’s a little different for perfumes. Perfume companies don’t really use the original vanilla from castoreum, but it’s the synthetic ethyl vanillin that gives your scent a sweet and desirable aroma that smells just like vanilla. Another way to have the vanilla aroma is to make use of tonka beans, which gives a slightly different fragrance. It is an amalgamation of vanilla and almond.
- Chocolate: since the whole world is a fan of chocolate, why wouldn’t anyone want to wear fragrances that smell like it? Unfortunately, there are no molecules that give a chocolaty smell. This is why it is made by mixing ingredients like chocolate, vanilla, and patchouli.
