 Literature Review
• Expression is the method to recover citrus oils from fruit peels, ranges from a
traditional procedure of pressing with sponges to mechanical maceratio
• Extraction is divided into the 4 parts
(1)Steam distillation
(2)Solvent extraction
(3)Enfleurage
(4)Expression
 History of Perfume
• Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt were the places where the people first started making
and using perfumes.
• Proof for this we found in ancient texts or archaeological findings. Cuneiform tablet
from the 2nd millennium BC Mesopotamia mentions Tapputi-Belatekallim, a female
overseer of a palace and the first chemist in the world who also made perfumes
• She made perfumes from flowers, oil, and calamus which she mixed with other
aromatic substances
• Hindu Ayurvedic texts “Charaka Samhita” and “Sushruta Samhita” mention “ittar” or
“attar” - a natural perfume oil distilled from herbs.
 Physical and Chemical properties
• A smell is a molecule that floats in the air as it is very light.
• Materials used in the fragrances are generally semi volatile organic compound and molecular weight
of these organic compounds hardly exceeds 260 AMU.
• The very molecule that floats in the air does not have a smell or does not have enough smell to be
perceived by the human nose, e.g., Carbon Monoxide.
• Chemical reactions resulted by light can alter your perfume smell, as the energy present in light can
break down the bonds present in molecules of the fragrance.
• Sunlight can damage your perfume and air can also corrode perfume fragrance because of oxidation.
• A perfume consists of 78 to 95 percent ethyl alcohol. 
 Application of Perfume
• Enhances Mood- One of the main benefits of wearing perfume is enhancing the mood. Perfume helps
lift your spirits
• Boosts Confidence-  A good perfume can boost your confidence and ensure that you get through the
day without feeling conscious of your body odor.
• Aphrodisiac- Many perfumes sometimes function like a natural aphrodisiac. Certain types of
perfumes contain pheromones, which have aphrodisiac properties
• Treats Insomnia- Another one of the therapeutic effects of perfume is that it helps you sleep better at
night. Perfumes, which contain essential oils, can help you relax and enjoy a peaceful slumber at night.
• Cures A Headache- Wearing a perfume can help you cure that nagging headache. However, this isn’t
true for perfumes that contain essential oils that compound headache.
 Methods of make perfume
• Solvent Extraction  is performed by putting plants into big, rotating drums. The plants are then
covered with petroleum ether or benzene.
• Steam Distillation the natural materials are placed in a still. the materials sit in the still until they are
extracted. The resulting substance is then passed through tubes, where it is cooled and then liquefied.
• Expression As one of the oldest forms of extraction, the expression method is quite simple. This
process, often used for extracting citrus oils, involves pressing the plant, either mechanically or
manually, until all of the oils are extracted.
• Maceration is process of maceration is similar to enfleurage however warmed up fats are used to
soak up the fragrance as opposed to grease. The fats then have to be dissolved in alcohol so that the
essential oils can be obtained.
 Expression Method to make Perfume
• Used to recover citrus oils from fruit peels, ranges from a traditional procedure
of pressing with sponges to mechanical maceration.
• Individual compounds used in perfumery may be isolated from the essential oils,
usually by distillation, and may sometimes be reprocessed to obtain still other
perfumery chemicals.
• It cost very less as compared to its peers
• Expression method don’t take much more time
• Expression is the oldest and least complex method of Extraction
 Engineering Problem
• Perfume depend on harvest of plant and on animal product, perfumery can
often turn risky.
• Consistency is hard to maintain in natural oils.
 Conclusion
• The ultimate decisive element for the perfume is fragrance and quality of
the perfume
• Each perfume fragrance has its own characheristics.
• If any marketer comes up with the best quality fragrance then it has the
probability of success.
