Question

What is the difference between Blend fragrances and A-Z fragrances, and how are they used in formulation or scent modification?

Answer

Based on the information provided:

  • Blend fragrances are complete, finished fragrances with a full scent composition, ready to be used as they are.
  • A-Z fragrances are single-note fragrances or simple scent components developed to be used for creating new scents or modifying existing finished scents.

Think of it this way:

  • If you have a finished Vanilla fragrance (a Blend) and want to add a milk note, you can add an A-Z fragrance like Bescents Dairy without altering the other notes significantly, just adding the milk scent.
  • If you want to create a new fragrance from scratch, like a rose scent in a green field, you would mix various A-Z fragrances (e.g., Bescents Rose, Bescents Green, Bescents Jasmine, Bescents Muguet) in specific ratios to build the desired scent profile from the ground up.
