WHAT DETERMINES THE PERSISTENCE OF A PERFUME Persistence is one of the main stumbling blocks in choosing a perfume. Lack of fragrance longevity is perhaps the most common complaint about perfumery. Everyone wants the perfume or eau de toilette they buyheld on as long as possible. But too persistent aroma becomes tiresome and boring, it begins to annoy with its importunity and causes only one desire - to get rid of it as soon as possible. The longevity of a perfume depends on many factors. Some of them are associated with the peculiarities of the perfume itself, which allows, albeit approximately and very conditionally, to speak of perfumery as persistent or unstable. First, the higher the concentration of aromatic substances , the more intense and persistent the odor will be. The same scent in the concentration of perfume, eau de parfum or eau de toilette will hold and unfold differently. For perfumes, the durability of 5-10 hours is normal, for eau de parfum - 3-5 hours, for eau de toilette - 2-3 hours. If by lunchtime you don't smell your favorite eau de toilette - this is completely normal, just renew the scent and continue enjoying it further. If you want the aroma to continue to sound on you without renewal for a long time, buy it in greater concentration. The complaints of some people about the "instability" of light eau de toilette, which refuses to stay on them from early morning until late at night, look very strange. Secondly, the persistence of a perfume depends on the nature of its aroma . The persistence of perfumery is largely determined by its base, trail notes. The most persistent aroma components are natural musk, amber, sandalwood, jasmine and some other, rich "heavy" aromas. This is why oriental aromas tend to be the most persistent, while light, fresh florals and citrus are usually the least persistent. It is believed that for citrus perfumes, the longevity of 4-6 hours is normal, for flowers - 6-8 hours, for amber - more than 8 hours. You cannot find two odors of the same intensity. Some flowers lose their aroma as soon as they are plucked, while others, on the contrary, retain it even when dried. But none of the floral smells in intensity and persistence can be compared with aromatic substances of animal origin. One single grain of musk retains its aroma for years and communicates it to everything it comes into contact with. The same fragrance in the same concentration can behave completely differently under different weather conditions . In the heat, perfumery evaporates faster and more intensely than in the cold. Perfumery can also behave differently depending on humidity . In high humidity, even harsh and heavy aromas somehow soften and sound more delicate than in dry weather. The behavior of the scent and its longevity also depend on the skin on which it is applied . Perfumers talk about the existence of "cold" and "hot" skin. When cold, aromas evaporate more slowly, which means they sound more restrained and last longer. Evaporation from hot skin is more intense, so the perfume opens up brighter, but its durability is also less. Perfume lasts much longer on hair and clothes than on the skin. Finally, the longevity of a perfume depends on the characteristics of your perception . If you do not hear the scent, it does not mean that it has already disappeared. A habit, an olfactory disruption, a change in hormonal levels, a banal runny nose and many other reasons can interfere with enjoying your favorite perfume. Обоняние — самое древнее из человеческих чувств, сильнее всего связано с первобытными инстинктами. Изначально острый нюх позволял человеку выживать, заблаговременно предупреждая его о появлении врагов, диких зверей и прочих опасностей. Именно поэтому и сейчас мозг перестает обращать внимание на привычный запах (даже если это запах любимых духов), но остро реагирует на запахи новые и незнакомые. Если вы много лет пользовались парфюмом и вдруг перестали его слышать, забудьте о нем на какое-то время. Возможно, после некоторого перерыва он снова начнет вас радовать своим ароматом. Итак, подведем итог. Крепость запаха – величина, зависящая от процента ввода парфюмерной композиции. А вот стойкость аромата зависит от нескольких факторов: Состав парфюмерной композиции Концентрация ароматических веществ Температура и влажность воздуха (в том числе время года) Типа кожи, на которую нанесен аромат Место нанесения аромата (волосы, тело, одежда и т.п.)
