Fragrance Information

Here is a breakdown of your questions regarding fragrance components (หัวน้ำหอม) and ready-made perfumes (น้ำหอมสำเร็จรูป):

1. Longevity Comparison: Fragrance components (หัวน้ำหอม) that are described as having very long lastingness (e.g., 100-200 hours) are typically concentrated aromatic materials or blends designed for performance. Ready-made perfumes (น้ำหอมสำเร็จรูป) are formulations created by diluting these components in a solvent, usually alcohol. Therefore, the concentrated fragrance components themselves are inherently longer-lasting than a finished perfume made from them, as the longevity of the finished perfume depends on the concentration of the fragrance components used in the final blend.

2. Origin of Fragrance Components: Fragrance components can be either natural (derived from plants, animals, etc., like essential oils or absolutes) or synthetic (created in a laboratory). Many modern fragrances use a combination of both natural and synthetic ingredients to achieve desired scent profiles, longevity, and diffusion.

3. Diffusion (Sillage) Comparison: The diffusion or sillage (how much the scent spreads around you) depends on the volatility of the specific aromatic compounds used in the fragrance blend and the overall concentration in the final product.

   • Fragrance Components: Individual components have varying volatilities (top, middle, or base notes). Top notes are highly diffusive but short-lived, while base notes are less diffusive but long-lasting.
   • Ready-Made Perfumes: A well-formulated ready-made perfume is a blend of these components designed to have a specific diffusion profile throughout its wear time.
   • It's not accurate to say that one is universally higher in diffusion than the other. A finished perfume's diffusion is a result of the chosen components and their ratios. However, using highly diffusive fragrance components in a higher concentration will generally result in greater sillage.

4. Champs Elysee Scent Strength: The recommendation to use the Champs Elysee (compare to Gurlain) fragrance oil at 5-15% for perfume suggests it is quite potent. Compared to other fragrance oils that might recommend higher percentages (like 15-30% or more for Parfum concentration), a lower recommended percentage indicates that a smaller amount is needed to achieve a noticeable and effective scent, implying a higher inherent strength or concentration of the aromatic compounds in this particular oil.

5. Aquatic Scent Ingredients: Aquatic scents aim to evoke the smell of the ocean, rain, or fresh water. They often rely on synthetic molecules that provide fresh, airy, slightly marine, or ozonic notes. Some common components or types of ingredients used include:

   • Compounds like Calone (which has a distinctive marine, ozonic, and slightly melon-like scent).
   • Certain aldehydes and synthetic notes that provide a watery or fresh effect.
   • Sometimes combined with green notes, light florals, or woody undertones to create a full "aquatic" picture, such as notes found in products like Wet Forest, Beach Garden, or Ambergris (Fragrance Oil).

6. Pink Pepper Ingredient: Based on our search, we do not have a specific product listed under the name "Pink Pepper".

7. Percentage for Parfum Concentration: To create a long-lasting and diffusive fragrance similar to a parfum using fragrance components, you would typically aim for a total fragrance concentration of 15-40% in your solvent (usually perfumer's alcohol). The exact percentage within this range depends on the strength of the specific fragrance components you choose and your desired intensity. To ensure both longevity and diffusion, you should select a blend of components that includes a good proportion of base notes (for lasting power) along with middle and top notes (for diffusion and initial impression).
