The Aging Process

Content: In addition to fruits, spices, resins, leaves, gums, balsams, and grasses, flowers are often essential because it's difficult to make perfume without floral essences. High-end luxury brands, such as Chanel, for instance, own their own flower fields to make sure they have enough product for their perfumes. Sometimes, animal products might be present in perfumes, like think ambergris from sperm whales and musk from male deer. Because not all scents are always readily available in nature, synthetic chemicals might be used to mimic them. This can save the lives of animals that are killed for their oils and is also beneficial if there's a bad plant harvest. Fragrance Ingredients

Extraction Methods
It's the oils from flowers and plant material that are used to make perfume. To separate the oil from the plant parts, it must be extracted. There are various ways to do this. The easiest method is expression, during which plants are basically squeezed until the oil releases. Enfleurage and maceration are other ways to extract plant oils.
