Synthetic Perfumes Smell Sweeter
In the production of perfumes, it has been found that more and more perfumes are being manufactured, rather than being based on natural ingredients.
There are a number of reasons why this is more desirable. For one these manufactured smells are by and large “perfect”. Each smell smells exactly the same as the other, and has longer shelf life. Smells from flowers and plants can vary from plant to plant.
The second reason is it’s more ecological. Instead of cutting down wide ranges of plant life and trees to obtain a smell, you can manufacture it in a laboratory for a fraction of the cost.
The final reason is commercial. You can patent each smell you find, which is impossible for plants and flowers. This patent can be licensed out to other perfumers at a later date.
However, it’s not a perfect method for commercial perfume, for one it takes a lot of time and money to research these new smells, but should you manufacture a sweet smell that’s popular, the benefits far outweighs the costs.
