What are the differences between perfume, aromatherapy and fragrance?
What are the differences between perfume, aromatherapy and fragrance?
Generally speaking, the meaning range is fragrance > aromatherapy > perfume, and the detailed distinction between the three depends on the understanding of the suffix of the word "fragrance". All three are derivatives of the circle of fragrance, but each has its own merits.
In fact, it is not difficult to answer this question. They are all types derived from the circle of fragrance. You only need to pay attention to the word behind it, and the meaning of the word itself will be clear at a glance.
1. Water
From the literal meaning, we can understand that perfume is water-like.
From daily experience, we further understand that perfume is a kind of scented water used for private body or private objects, and the method of use is generally spraying.
However, please note that perfume is not water. It is a mixture of spices and alcohol, but it is not without water. The proportion of water is very small, often below 10%. There is a special case of perfume that almost everyone has come into contact with - floral water. Floral water is also perfume, a mixture of essence + alcohol + water, but our inertial thinking has become accustomed to treating it as mosquito repellent. Compared with other perfumes, the content of floral water essence is very small, generally below 5%, and the proportion of water can reach 25%~28%.
2. Fumigation
From the literal meaning, we can understand that: Fumigation generally refers to plants with fragrance, and aromatherapy can also be written as aromatherapy. The original meaning of "fumigation" is "(smoke, gas, etc.) contacting objects to change color or get odor". Compared with "fumigation", "fumigation" has a more complete meaning, which is not only an expression of plants with fragrance, but also an expression of using fragrant plants for fumigation.
From daily experience, we further understand that aromatherapy is to use open flames to burn incense to achieve the purpose of fragrance enhancement. It is generally suitable for small space fragrance enhancement, such as burning incense sticks.
Three, atmosphere
From the literal meaning, we can understand that atmosphere generally describes a sense of atmosphere
From daily experience, we further understand that fragrance generally refers to the use of fragrant substances to diffuse fragrance throughout the space. In most cases, it is suitable for space fragrance, such as rattan aromatherapy, scented candles, commercial aromatherapy machines, etc.
There is actually no very clear boundary in daily life to distinguish between the three. Generally speaking, the meaning range is fragrance>aromatherapy>perfume, and the boundary between fragrance and perfume is more vague, because perfume also has the ability to create an atmosphere, so people are willing to call perfume fragrance, and consumers' understanding also affects the promotion of merchants. Therefore, the market's distinction between the three is also relatively vague. When purchasing, it is more important to understand the scope and method of product use than to understand the product category.
