Every time we talk about the “chemical aroma”, it will always make the two groups of people arguing, and most people will take ‘chemical aroma’ as a derogatory term to describe some perfumes as they are cheap perfume. Others claim that the feeling of chemical chemistry does not exist, because perfume is essentially a chemical product of industrial production.
First of all, in my opinion, the chemical sense of perfume is definitely there, the reason why the debate is caused is that person’s perception and expression are different. When smelling something unnatural and unpleasant, some people say that the smell is pungent, some people say that the fragrance is cheap, and some people say it is overwhelmed, in fact, these different descriptions may be the same feeling.
In fact, perfume and smell are such a thing, they are invisible and inaccessible. Even if they exhaust all words, it is difficult to accurately describe our feelings. At this time, we must use the common memory to help describe these feelings. Essentially, the chemical sense is actually the common memory of most of us.
Chemical feeling means two points, one is synthetic, and the other is the opposite of natural.
The impression of chemical industry is mainly due to artificial flavors, and artificial flavors are widely used in all kinds of daily chemical products, such as strawberry shampoo, milk flavor shower gel, lemon flavor cleaner, watermelon candy. They are added mainly to hide the original bad smell of these products, or to add flavor in the cheapest way.
So when a perfume formula is widely used in artificial flavors, the same feeling will remind us of our daily products. This association is definitely not high-end, after all, who wants his perfume to smell like shampoo?
As for the difference between artificial and natural, each of us can easily judge by our nose. Paint, rubber, stereotyping spray, sprite cola, air freshener, they are artificial, and the scent is thin and hard, you will not have much feelings when you smell them.
Grapefruit, pepper, soil, green grass, they are natural, full and complex fragrance, each taste will have a new experience, will notice some details you have not been noticed before.
Smart as you may have noticed, the main difference between artificial and nature is not whether it smells good or not (this judgment is too subjective), but how many detailed signals there have.
In fact, all kinds of natural odors in our life are very complex, take an orange as an example, in the moment of pulling the orange apart, thousands of odor molecules burst out together. The most obvious and powerful molecules merge together, which gives us the feeling of “orange”.
Synthetic oranges only simulate the most important odor molecules, although we can smell orange at once, but they lack hundreds of odor details. When we smell cheap orange flavors, this lack of detail is actually a chemical sense. It’s like Fanta soda and red wine. Fanta soda is delicious but can’t be tasted, because it has only one flavor. But a glass of red wine is different. You can feel the full aroma of grapes and the change of taste after a hundred turns in your mouth.
Due to the lack of details and odor of the mattress and foil, the plain odor will bring people a “sharp sense”. When the odor tensity increases, repetitive and strong olfactory stimulation can cause the brain to repel and cause nausea, which is why many people feel the smell of dizzy smell of chemical heavy perfume. The natural fragrance will have a distinct sense of fullness. The fragrance is smooth, transitional and natural, without edges and spikes.
In this way, artificial essence is a cancer that is absolutely unpardonable, are they the tools used by businessmen to squeeze consumers’ money? This view of artificial flavors, such as the devil, is absolutely wrong, because the invention of artificial flavors did bring benefits to people.
The invention of artificial flavors has added more possibilities to the perfumes, breaking away from the constraints of nature and creating more new odors. For example, the invention of watermelon ketone has bred the birth of aquatic perfume, one of our most popular scent ocean breeze for custom car air fresheners, which makes us feel the cool breeze of the sea at any time and anywhere.
On the other hand, the invention of artificial flavor greatly reduces the cost of perfume manufacturing and expands the scale of perfume production, from then on, the perfume was no longer exclusive to European aristocrats.
It can be said that 99% of the perfume that we can buy now is not entirely natural, the difference lies in the proportion of natural ingredients. It is not easy for everyone to have the same feeling to one perfume. Because each person’s perfume experience is different. Sniffing hundreds of perfume nose can easily distinguish which perfume is high natural flavor, strong sense of nature, which perfume high proportion of artificial fragrances, heavy chemical industry. But for newbies, the entry level perfume has been very good to them, but the expensive ebony perfume is bitter and unpleasant, like the traditional Chinese medicine shop on the years.
The nose, like the eyes and mouth, it becoming more and more picky after it has richer and richer experience, people in the upper class have invented a special word for it, which we call “taste”.
Natural flavors are with different quality level, and artificial flavors are the same. Some good artificial flavors are even more expensive than natural flavors. Today, the essence of artificial fragrances produced by some famous perfume companies is actually quite complex, its complexity can be comparable to that of natural flavors, and its fragrance is also full and smooth, it will not give people a chemical sense.
If the natural flavors are full of details to make a perfume have blood and soul, then artificial fragrances are the bone of perfume, they make the perfume become just like a real lady that has her own spirit. For example, the Parma California Eau De Toilette perfume, the formula specially added a cold artificial fragrance, which makes the perfume has a refreshing sense of refreshing, the overall smell has played a bright effect.
But conversely, if only artificial flavors or natural flavors in a perfume, it will create only a stiff feeling of bones, which we call “chemical feeling”.
The perfume we choose for our customers for their custom car air fresheners are the best proportion with the combination of natural fragrance and artificial fragrance, and we can customize perfume as per client requirement, we have custom made many special fragrance for some brand air freshener’s company.
