What does synthetic mean ?
Natural or synthetic?
Like lily of the valley, lilac, violet and carnation are mute flowers. Mute, because extracting a single scent from these flowers is utopian.
To the great despair of perfumers, it is still impossible to obtain natural scents from these flowers. This is also the case for most fruits such as figs, raspberries and pineapples. Only citrus fruits produce a natural smell through the cold expression process. Did you know that it takes 200 kg of fruit to produce 1 kg of essential oil?
Naturally no, but synthetically yes!
In perfumery, we often talk about natural and synthetic. An ingredient is said to be natural when it is directly extracted from nature and has never been modified. This is the case for citrus fruits, woods or even certain flowers such as roses.
On parle souvent de naturel et de synthétique en parfumerie. Un ingrédient est dit naturel lorsqu’il est directement extrait de la nature, et qu’il n’a jamais été modifié. C’est le cas des agrumes, des bois ou encore de certaines fleurs comme la rose.
