Differences between A-Z Fragrances, Blends, and Essential Oil Grades
Question
Could you please explain the differences between fragrances in the A-Z category (e.g., Bescent M - Muguet/lily of the valley) and ready-made blend fragrances (e.g., Lily of the Valley blend)? Specifically, what are the key differences in their composition and intended use (e.g., for blending or modifying existing perfumes)? Also, why is there a price difference for certain oils like Cedarwood and Clove Bud between the Bescent and MySkinRecipes websites? What is the scent difference between Cedarwood China and Cedarwood Himalaya? Finally, could you provide details on Bescent J (Jasmine) and Happy Lotus regarding their scent profile, longevity, and chemical composition (substances and quantities)?
Answer
Fragrance and Essential Oil Information
Based on the information available:
Lily of the Valley (Bescent M vs. Blend): Fragrances in the A-Z category, like Bescent M (Muguet/lily of the valley), are typically single notes or incomplete scents designed for blending or modifying other perfumes. Fragrances in the blend category are complete, finished perfumes. Specific comparisons regarding diffusion or longevity between these two types are not available.
Cedarwood and Clove Bud Oil Pricing: The price difference between these oils on Bescent and MySkinRecipes is due to the grade. Bescent offers "perfumer grade" oils, which are purer and higher quality than the "commercial grade" oils on MySkinRecipes.
Cedarwood China vs. Himalaya: The difference lies in their scent. Cedarwood China has a stronger woody scent, while Cedarwood Himalaya has a stronger resinous or gummy scent. The choice depends on the desired aroma.
Bescent J (Jasmine) and Happy Lotus: While products like Jasmine Fresh, Jasmine Sambac Absolute, Jasmine Petal, and Happy Lotus exist, detailed information regarding their specific scent profiles (e.g., fresh, soft, realistic, green), longevity, or chemical composition is not available in the product descriptions.
