Perfume making is the art and science of creating fragrances by blending various aromatic ingredients. These ingredients can include essential oils, synthetic compounds, and natural extracts from flowers, fruits, and spices. The process involves careful measurement and mixing to achieve a balanced scent that can evoke emotions or memories. The final product is typically categorized into different types based on concentration, such as eau de toilette or parfum. Perfume makers, known as noses, often undergo extensive training to develop their sense of smell and understand the complexities of scent composition.
