TRANSLATED FROM THE THIRD GERMAN EDITION BY ISIDOR FURST. (WITH CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS BY SEVERAL EXPERTS.) Illustrated with 32 Engravings. NEW YORK: LONDON: N. W. HENLEY & CO., E. & F. N. SPON, 150 NASSAU ST. 125, STRAND. 1892. COPYRIGHTED, 1892, BY NORMAN W. HENLEY & CO. PREFACE. iii The great progress which the art of perfumery has made during recent times is due to several causes, the chief one of which is fully realized only by the manufacturer on a large scale, who stands, as it were, behind the scenes and has access to facts and information concerning the materials he uses, which are not so easily accessible to the dilettante in perfumery, or remain altogether unknown to the latter. This important factor is the advance in our knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the several substances used in perfumery, whereby we can better discriminate between the genuine and the spurious, the choicest and the inferior, thus insuring, at the very start, a satisfactory result, instead of being compelled to resort to wasteful experimentation and empiricism. A better knowledge has also been gained of the sources of the commercial varieties of many of the crude products, and a better insight into the conditions affecting their qualities or properties. A more exhaustive study of the proximate principles of many of the essential oils has thrown an entirely new light upon this heretofore obscure class of bodies, placing into our hands new products of definite chemical composition, unvarying in physical properties, and many of them valuable additions to the perfumer’s stock of ingredients. Synthetic chemistry has also added to the list of materials required by the perfumer, and is surely going to add many more to it hereafter. Though some of these, like the new artificial musk, are not yet in a condition to enter into serious competition with the natural iv products, yet it is merely a question of time when the latter need no longer be depended upon. The increasing demands for the staple articles used by the perfumer have also caused a large increase in the cultivation of many important plants in various parts of the world, and have led to the establishment of new plantations, in some cases to such an extent that the commercial relations have been entirely revolutionized, new territories producing larger crops and a finer product than the old home of the plant. The exploration of hitherto unknown or imperfectly known countries has also largely added to the perfumer’s art, and is likely to continue to do this for a long time to come, since it is now well known that vast districts, more particularly in tropical Africa, are inhabited by a flora abounding in new odoriferous plants. In spite of all this expansion of the perfumer’s stock of trade, however, which results in the periodical introduction of new compounds, there is a very large number of popular odorous mixtures which remain in steady demand, having taken such firm root among civilized nations that they are not likely to be displaced. It is more particularly with a view to afford information regarding these latter that a work like the present is desirable and necessary. A treatise on perfumery is expected to place into the hands of the purchaser reasonably reliable processes for preparing the most generally approved simple or compound perfumes, as well as accurate information concerning the origin and properties of the various ingredients, together with practical hints regarding the determination of their genuineness and purity. It is a frequent complaint of those who make preparations after formulas published in works like the present, that they do not succeed in obtaining fully satisfactory products. Another complaint of purchasers of such works is this: that they fail to find formulas yielding preparations identical in every respect with certain celebrated perfumes which have made the reputation and fortune of certain v firms. Regarding the first complaint, we would say that the failure lies generally with the complainant himself, through carelessness in the selection of the materials or disregard of the given directions. Concerning the second complaint, a moment’s reflection must convince any one that formulas which are the result of the study and experimentation of years, and the products of which are the main stock of trade of certain firms, are carefully guarded, and not likely to be communicated to others. Moreover, in many cases even a publication of the component parts would not be of much avail, for the manufacturer on the large scale has facilities for blending and seasoning his products which the maker on a small scale does not possess, and it is this part of the art particularly upon which the quality of the products depends. In preparing the present treatise for the American public many changes were found necessary in the original text, in order to make the information given more correct or definite, and so bring the work more abreast of the present time. In addition to various improvements and additions made in the working formulas comprising the second portion of the work, the description of the natural products used as ingredients, upon the quality and selection of which the success of the perfumer mostly depends, has been carefully revised, and so far as the objects of this work required, completed by Dr. Charles Rice, Associate Editor of American Druggist, etc., in consultation with several experts in the art of perfumery. vi CONTENTS. vii CHAPTER I.

The gratification of his senses is peculiar to man, and it is to this trait that we are indebted for all the arts. The activities which aimed at the gratification of the eye and ear developed into the creative arts and music, and in like manner human endeavor directed toward the stimulation of the sense of smell has in our time assumed the proportions both of an art and a science; for it was nothing but the advancement of chemistry that made it possible to fix all the pleasant odors offered by nature and to create new perfumes by the artistic combination of these scents. The preparation of perfumes is a very ancient art that is met with among all peoples possessed of any degree of civilization. It is particularly the ancient nations of the Orient which had in truth become masters in the manufacture of numerous perfumes.

OLIVIER PESCHEUX: It’s hard to answer with certainty. Nevertheless, perfumers are like sponges absorbing the air of time (Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps is one of the most accurate names you can find). Hence every societal movement leaves its mark on creations, in a more or less obvious way. It’s still too early to know in IN what ways the current health crisis will leave its mark in perfume, but it will leave its mark, that’s for sure. ESQ: Do you attribute gender to certain notes and raw materials? OLIVIER PESCHEUX : Not really, but it’s true that I perceive rose as rather feminine simply because it has been used a lot THE and in significant quantities in women’s fragrances in the West. That’s less true in the Middle East, where the rose also perfumes men. Lavender is rather masculine as it’s used a lot in fougère, the favourite family of men’s fragrances. It’s interesting to note that in Brazil, lavender is also feminine. So it’s more of a cultural affair. Yann Vasnier I’m trying to fight against this natural and cultural leaning, and on Givaudan perfumer the contrary, I use this challenge to fuel my creativity.

  • Olfactory Workshops by Osmothèque
    Olfactory Workshops By Osmothèque Designed for fragrance industry professionals Fougère Royale (1884) HOUBIGANT, Le Fruit Défendu (1914) ROSINE, Chypre (1917) COTY, Crêpe de Chine (1925) MILLOT, Iris Gris (1947) FATH,… Osmothèque: the beginnings From the Greek osme - odor and thêkê - place, the Osmothèque was inaugurated over 20 years ago, in 1990. It has since become the one-of-a- kind olfactory archives that to this day remains unique in the world. The idea of a “Maison des Parfums” (Home of Perfumes) was under evaluation by the technical commission of the Société Française des Parfumeurs for years. The aim was to create a place where professionals and fragrance lovers could rediscover the perfumes they had once known and loved. In addition, the institution was to devote itself to scents long forgotten, to become the only place where lost or discontinued fragrances could be reproduced, classified and archived. In order to realize such an ambitious project, several passionate perfumers, members of the commission, had to show a great deal of commitment and determination. Together they set to revive lost perfumes, creating their records and thus protecting the heritage of the fragrance industry. Those pioneers collected some 400 fragrances, of which 70 were already at the time discontinued. Two institutions have been enthusiastically and determinedly supporting the project: the Comité Français du Parfum (CFP) and the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Versailles Val d’Oise-Yvelines (CCIV). Thanks to their financial support, the Osmothèque has grown over the years...

  • THE EXTRACTION of ESSENTIAL OIL from RED PEPPER (Capsicum Annum); FORMULATION and PRODUCTION of PERFUME from the EXTRACT
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 7, July-2019 2225 ISSN 2229-5518 THE EXTRACTION OF ESSENTIAL OIL FROM RED PEPPER (Capsicum annum); FORMULATION AND PRODUCTION OF PERFUME FROM THE EXTRACT Tolulope, F.A. Olubanwo, Moses O. Ekeoma, Blessing Onuora, Stephena E. Tolubanwo. CHAPTER 1 1. 1 INTRODUCTION The word perfume is used today to describe scented mixtures and is derived from the Latin word, "per fumus," meaning through smoke, is fragrant liquid that is sprayed or rubbed on the skin or clothes to give a pleasant smell. Extraction of perfume from various plants resources is of ancient origin. In fact the natives from different tropical regions of the globe have long been extracting oil from numerous oil bearing plants. IJSERHuman beings since the ancient time have known how to extract oil from their natural resources. Vegetable oils are naturally occurring esters of higher fatty acids and glycerol. They are swidely di tributed in nature and were first consumed as food. Later oils were discovered to be used as renewable raw materials for variety of non-food production, for instance perfumes, disinfectants, inks to mention but a few. 1.2 Background of the Study Egyptians were responsible for the origin of perfume. They utilized scents in everything from religious ceremonies to burial preparations and even daily wear. The rich elites of Egyptian society, male and female alike would adorn themselves with aromas like lily to denote their status. The Persians took over the use of perfume as a sign of political status, but it wasn't until the Greeks and Romans became acquainted IJSER © 2019 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 7, July-2019 2226 ISSN 2229-5518 with it that it began to be viewed as a form of art and produced in large quantity and in consistent quality.

  • Perfumery Theme Park Museum CYPRUS
    Perfumery Theme Park Museum CYPRUS Back to genesis of “Chypre” a fragrance family that is as acclaimed as it is shrouded in mystery DEDICATION The Park would still be nothing but a dream if not for Philachtis Michael, better known as “Pappous” and Amina Thoma, our beloved “Anna”. They both believed in this dream and did contributed greatly in turning this idea from a mere dream into a reality, into an actual business plan. Following their suggestions, Maria Michael better known as “Giagia”, with the help of her grandson brought the Park to life and made it a non profit cultural institution, whose goal is to help those in need. Taking all this into consideration, we dedicate this booklet to our beloved "Anna" and “Pappus”, who have sadly left us far too early.. “THE CYPRUS PERFUME THEME PARK” Project on Cyprus cosmetic heritage conservation Acronym: CYPE-PARK The relationship between human cultural traditions and genetic legacy is the dual inheritance of the environmental anthropologists Robert Boyd and Peter Richardson. They recognised that in addition to the genetic inheritance that has made all creatures, humans had additionally a unique cultural inheritance and that these two legacies behaved in similar but not identical ways. A genetic past is our inheritance from our evolutionary history and our cultural past is our inheritance from our more immediate ancestors. Millions of years of evolution control our behaviour, but evolution have also given us the ability to modify our genetic behaviour by transmitting culture from one generation to another. Culture is transmitted through learning and the cumulative experience allows the development of skills, cooperative behaviour and conscious identity other creatures don’t have.

    Smells –unconscious component in our behavior Pizza-smell is added to the air conditioning of shopping malls to put you in the mood to visit the restaurants. “Ok, sweetheart, you look bored. Let’s have a bite before we continue.” The “new car “ smell is used just before you take a test ride in a used car dealership. You feel much better than in your old warthog that smells like food and burnt oil. Cake-baking aroma is spread in the kitchen of a house by the real estate agent or owner who wants to sell it. Perfume is used by guys & girls to draw attention or suggest a highly cultivated lifestyle. Garden stores can smell like fertilizer or like flowers. Which one will sell better? Hospitals & waiting rooms can have the aseptic smell of of carbolic acid or the distracting smell of flowers. A female perfume would be really irritasting! Smells –unconscious component in our behavior Odor greatly affects our evaluation of things and people. Only 20 % of the perfume industries income comes from perfuming humans, 80 % comes from ‘perfuming” the things of our daily life. Anosmia or the loss of the ability to smell leads to depression and a life where you recognize your food just by the taste alone; salty, bitter, hot , cold, sweet. Also your sex drive disappears.

It is primarily derived from a genus of trees called Aquilaria, which is native to Southeast Asia and is traded globally. Aquilaria species are classified as vulnerable or endangered and are subject to regulations under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). This project demonstrates how varied understandings of nature, consumption practices, and consumer preferences can create irregularities in a globalized production network. In ii contrast to scholarship on commodity networks that detail how trade and consumption patterns are formed, and how people and places become systematically enrolled into structured networks of trade and production, the production of agarwood shows how culturally and geographically specific meanings and preferences create a commodity network that is inconsistent, characterized as diffuse, disarticulated, flexible, and often obscured.
