What differentiates a synthetic fragrance and a natural fragrance?
Over the centuries the art of crafting fine fragrances from natural plant sources has evolved into the science of perfumery. With ever increasing technical knowledge on the identification, purification, and chemical synthesis of the scent producing molecules that perfumers seek, these aromas can be re-created. The advantages of the synthetic materials are that purity can be strictly controlled, other substances in the natural product are eliminated thus exposure to unknown components is eliminated, in addition to uncertainties in the botanical source, origin and weather associated with changes in chemical composure in botanicals.
