Quite often I hear or read the opinion that the bottle should "rest" after transportation. Set aside for a couple of weeks so that it sounds as planned by the perfumer.
Is it true?
The answer will seem a little strange to you. But! Ask your friends moonshiners: when they filter their drinks, which become transparent, they send to their friends by mail, CDEK or bring samples to the event - does shaking affect the aroma and taste road? Everyone will definitely say no.
Alcohol-based perfume can be easily compared to alcoholic beverages. Moreover, if some spirits allow suspension in the form of yeast or protein from malt, then everything is serious in the perfume industry. The filtration process is thorough. If the contents of the perfume were not stained, then you noticed that it is transparent, colorless like water.
Any alcohol-containing products, roughly speaking, if transparent, it means without foreign suspension, well filtered.
Only spirits can defend after the road. Where the percentage of fragrances is higher than in other types of perfumery (
cologne, eau de toilette or eau de parfum). And then vintage.If the contents of the bottle had any suspension of oil, it might make sense to give the perfume "rest".
So why does the settled perfume smell different after a couple of days?
And here other factors are already at play, different from the shaking on the road: temperature, pressure drop. At room temperature, for example, the perfume will sound more intense, but if kept in the cold bottle - then the aroma will be even stricter, more intimate, because some notes in the composition may not open up. Everything is like with alcoholic beverages.
The contents of the vials are essentially a solution, which has passed quality filtration, stable formula. Vibration from the cabinet door, a hippopotamus running past or an earthquake will not disrupt the intermolecular bond of the perfume. This requires very high pressure to reduce the volume of the content right before your eyes. But an increase in temperature only increases the speed of movement of molecules, this refers to the intensity of the sound of the aroma. We all know about the temperature, we took part in physics lessons.
If a seller or a previously unknown online store talks to you about defending a scent so that people can tiptoe past it, most likely they have slipped you into a marriage. Fairy tales about "the fragrance must take a rest from the road" were invented so that an honest and naive buyer missed the deadline for returning the goods to the store.
The bottle will reach room temperature during the day, if it is not periodically exposed to frost.
Sunlight actually affects a perfume if it is in a transparent bottle. How exactly - we will tell in the next article.
