In ancient China, perfume was called "perfume dew", also called "flower dew", which truly reflected the original manufacturing method of this perfume liquid.
When the flowers are distilled in a special vessel, the essence in the petals is evaporated, and then mixed with the distilled water vapor, and the water vapor with fragrance is condensed into liquid again.
Perfume is actually made up of various aromatic chemical raw materials such as essential oil, extraction solution and plant essence. The advantage of making your own perfume is that you can create a bottle of your own perfume with the help of the fragrance of natural flowers, fruits and so on. Of course, you should choose a fragrance that suits you best. Citrus is fresh and lively, and lemon and citrus smell delicate; Plants are full of the green breath of nature, and the green forest makes people yearn for it; Flowers are the most easily coordinated fragrance, full of fashion sense, and can be integrated with other fragrances. Determine the fragrance, that is, people usually say: the first taste, the middle taste and the bottom taste, that is, the perfume emits different stages of fragrance with the length of time.
There are many ways to make perfume, but none of them can be done at home, including distillation, solvent extraction, pressing and oil absorption. The distillation method we use is to put the plant raw materials in boiling water, and then the essential oil containing fragrance will escape with the steam, and then when the steam condenses into water, the fragrant oil will float on the water surface. You can collect it at this time. However, this process is usually repeated several times before it is possible to get higher purity sesame oil. In chemical industry, there is also a technique called extraction, which can improve the distillation process.
