Can essence be used as perfume?

Some flavors and perfumes are made from the same materials, but with different concentrations. So sometimes flavors can be used as perfumes. For example, some better flavors last longer and are more suitable for gathering places. Of course, when using essence, because of its high concentration, it should be used less to avoid overly strong smell. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

First, the difference between essence and perfume

In daily life, we often hear perfume and fragrance, but what is the difference between perfume and fragrance? For this question, it seems that many people are confused. The following knowledge can be used to identify the difference between perfume and fragrance:

Fragrance: (Parfum) The concentration is 15-25%, and the fragrance lasts for 5-7 hours. It is suitable for night out, banquets, and formal occasions.

Perfume: (eau de Parfum) The concentration is 10-15%, and the fragrance lasts for about 5 hours, which is suitable for daytime banquets or going out.

Eau de Toilette: The concentration is 5-10%, and the fragrance lasts for about 3-4 hours. It is suitable for work and daily use.

Eau de Cologne: (edu de Cologne) The concentration is 3-5%, the fragrance lasts about 1-2 hours, and it is usually used after bathing or before exercise.

Perfumes are divided into two types according to the purity level of alcohol and fragrance essence.

The first type: a perfume with high purity and long lasting power, which can last for seven to eight hours after spraying

Second, the etiquette of using perfume in daily life:

In the 21st century, people wear perfume as a matter of taste and social etiquette. There are certain rules for using perfume in different occasions. Places where it cannot be used include funerals and visiting the sick. Occasions where it is not necessary include dining with friends and business gatherings.

In addition, perfumes have different effects of boosting spirits or stabilizing moods due to different brands and scents, so the perfumes for daytime and nighttime are different. Perfume can be divided into cool and refreshing types. Smart people should use perfume according to different occasions. You must be aware that using perfume in moderation may lead to bad results, so never overuse it.

Third, how to preserve perfume

Once opened and used, perfume or cologne will only last for three to five years at most, but this is also if it is stored properly. Since the spices used in perfume are quite sensitive to external substances, they must be stored with great care. First of all, they must not be exposed to air, and the lid must be closed after each use. This not only prevents the evaporation of the alcohol component, but also prevents the oxygen in the air from oxidizing the perfume and causing it to deteriorate.

Perfume should not be placed in direct sunlight to avoid changes in fragrance and color due to strong light. The best way is to put the cover back into the box after use each day and put it in a drawer where it is not exposed to sunlight.
