Luxury scents have a way of making us feel special, confident and glamorous. However, the cost of these indulgent scents are out of reach for some. That’s where recreation of these scents comes in. At Homage Perfume, we are dedicated to bringing you top-quality perfumes at affordable prices.
In this blog, we reveal what goes into the process of recreating your favourite luxury scents.
The Art of Scent Creation
Creating a scent requires a combination of artistry, chemistry and creativity in equal measure. It is a complex process that starts with a healthy dose of inspiration. We draw inspiration from the world of luxury scents.
Perfumer: An expert in crafting perfume compositions (often referred to as a “nose” due to their exceptional sense of smell).
Our perfumers use their specialised skills to analyse a fragrance and break it down into three notes: top, middle and base. Top notes are the first impression of a fragrance, typically identified as light and easier to pinpoint. Middle notes provide the main body of the scent. Base notes are heavier and longer-lasting, giving depth and richness to the perfume.
Once the notes are identified, the perfumer begins the blending process, which involves carefully combining different notes to create a balanced fragrance. While a fair amount of science is involved, this is where the magic happens. The perfumer combines their knowledge with their keen sense of smell to refine the recreation formula.
Once crafted, the fragrance is left to develop and mature, allowing it to evolve in complexity. The final fragrance is tested extensively to ensure it meets the perfumer’s vision and quality standards.
Quality Control and Testing
The next stage of the process is to ensure the perfume meets our quality and performance standards. Testing ensures the perfume embodies the following characteristics:
- Stability: The perfume should stay consistent, maintaining its scent and appearance without alterations over time.
- Robustness: Under varying conditions, such as changing temperatures and humidity levels, the perfume is tested to ensure it remains intact without scent or quality deterioration.
- Longevity: We test fragrance longevity on the skin, ensuring you can enjoy your favourite scent throughout the day.
- Appeal: Group testing and feedback will be carried out across a diverse range of people to ensure it is well-received and appealing to all kinds of customers.
