I have several questions about fragrance components and ready-made perfumes: 1. Are Fragrance Components that are described as having very long lastingness (e.g., 100-200 hours) more long-lasting than Ready-Made Perfume? 2. Are Fragrance Components natural or synthetic? 3. Regarding fragrance diffusion (sillage), how does Ready-Made Perfume compare to Fragrance Components? Is it Low, Medium, or High? 4. Is the Champs Elysee scent in Ready-Made Perfume significantly stronger than other scents? I noticed the recommended usage is only 5-15%, whereas other scents recommend higher percentages. 5. What are the main ingredients used for an Aquatic scent profile? 6. Do you have a Pink Pepper scent ingredient? 7. If I only use Fragrance Components, what total percentage should I use to achieve a long-lasting, diffusive scent like a parfum?
