The most accurate answer is a nice smell but what
is perfume made from:
-
Essential Oils - from natural plant materials
such as distilled or extracted from flowers, leaves, woods or grasses.
(eg. Lavender Oil, Jasmin Absolute)
-
Aroma chemicals - (chemicals with smells) either
seperated from essential oils or from chemical sources such as the crude
oil industry (eg. pinene,benzene)
Animal products - from animal secretions
(only 4 used : the Civet cat, the Castoreum beaver, the Musk deer
and Ambergris from the Sperm Whale)
