Fragrance formulation

Also known as: perfumery, perfume formulation

Fragrance formulation, or perfumery, is the craft of combining aroma materials into a balanced scent with top, middle, and base notes. Perfumers build an accord from natural and synthetic materials, then set the concentration for the intended product, such as an eau de parfum or a scented base. The finished fragrance is documented as a formula that can be reproduced and scaled.
