Some of the components in cosmetics are at the price of an SUV, why toilet water is not worse than the spirits of resistance - learn about in today's article.
1. Kilogram iris stands as a good SUV
Iris is one of the most expensive components in perfumery. In the market it costs up to 40 thousand. euros per kilogram (which is slightly more than 3 million. rubles). For the same amount you can buy a good SUV. Or a simple townhouse in the suburbs.
Iris (orris) also called orris. In the luxury perfume used German iris, iris pale and Florentine. Obtained by extraction. Moreover, to obtain a flavoring one drops requires several kilograms of raw roots, plus a dilute sulfuric acid and evaporated. No wonder why the iris so expensive.
2. The most expensive perfume in the world is part of $ 50
Previously, the most expensive perfume was Clive Christian Imperial Majesty, whose bottle is made of rock crystal, the neck has a golden frame (18K), and the vial cap is diamond weighing 5 carat. And part of it has a strong perfume, 200 present fairly rare ingredients. It is worth a bottle of 215 thousand. dollars.
But in 2011 the most expensive this perfume surpassed DKNY Golden Delicious, which costs 1 million. dollars. Perfume itself - not an expensive, there are components of the $ 50 (citrus, musk, sandalwood, rose, lily and lily of the valley). But the bottle is decorated with precious stones, there are about 3000 pieces.
3. Previously spirits "smeared" on the skin
It is in modern options available spray dispenser. A perfume used was very thick and high density, their fingers or coated glass pipette. Oily texture of the original versions of spirits simply would not allow a spray bottle to spray them.
Yes, the old perfume scent was kept for a long time, and the smell was intense. However, they quickly spoiled: the vial got grease, dirt and dust.
Modern bottles with spray to correct this deficiency, but the proportion of solvent in the composition increased, because, I repeat, it is impossible to spray the oily consistency and turn it into the cloud small droplets.
4. It argues that niche fragrance better and more stable - wrong
Niche fragrances - these are products that do not belong to the mass-market, premium or deluxe. This is a new market segment in which the brands do not tend to make your perfume on the broader market.
And they save money on testing their products and marketing research. In their opinion, it is better to lay in the cost of various experiments with the sound tracks or expensive raw materials. Because of this, it seems that the niche brands better quality perfume. Here, rather, niche brands, you can get acquainted with a new fragrant composition, but there is no guarantee that this fragrance will not "choke" and will not cause allergies.
5. To say that the spirits better resistance toilet water - is wrong
All perfumery products divided by the concentration of aromatic substances in the formulation. In a toilet water, the proportion of odoriferous substances is 5-12%, y perfume - from 20% and above.
But the percentage concentration of perfume is not so much affect the stability of the flavor as the volatility of odoriferous substances. For example, citrus evaporate within half an hour, even though this will concentrate "50% water and 50% of water and alcohol." Musk has heavy molecules, and with him a considerable resistance and loop.
Toilet water may have a composition that is heavier than many perfume and accordingly more stable. The high concentration of aromatic substances affects only the nature of the composition, for example, the more dilute a concentrate, the more tender and "intimate" flavor.
