Abundance Fresh Parfum

The Science Behind the Product

Forms of Fragrance

Parfum

Parfum is the strongest concentrated form of fragrance. It provides a pure scent experience and lasts many hours, or all day, after being applied. As such, this form of fragrance is the most valuable and sought after in the marketplace. Women’s fine fragrances are traditionally manufactured as Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette strength. Parfums should be applied at the pulse points (neck, wrists, behind ears, etc.). The heat of the body at these points will assure a well-balanced fragrance application.

Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum is found in many of the fine fragrance collections; it assures a long-lasting application, although it is not as concentrated or as long-lasting as Parfum. It should be smoothed or sprayed, just before dressing, all over the body from the feet up.

Eau de Toilette

Eau de Toilette is a much more diluted form of Parfum and even Eau de Parfum. Eau de Toilette should be used as the base upon which to lay a foundation of scent, and is so diluted that you can spray several times all over your body within the same day and not gather too much fragrance on your skin and clothing. The majority of fragrances sold in mass distribution markets are Eau de Toilettes.

Cologne

Cologne is diluted even further in strength compared to Eau de Toilette. Cologne is the lightest form of fragrance. Cologne is made for splashing liberally all over the body. It is the perfect solution to use as a refreshing touch-up throughout the day. It does not provide a long-lasting fragrance application.

Fragrance Classifications

Fragrances can be classified into several families by the themes of the fragrances. Here are just a few:

Floral: fragrances that are dominated by the scent of one or more types of flowers.

Fresh/Green: light, fresh character of botanical or citrus notes often combined with more feminine scents (flowers and fruits).

Fruity: An old fragrance family that until recently consisted mainly of "freshening" eau de colognes due to the low tenacity of fruit scents. Development of newer fragrance compounds has allowed for the creation of fruit-forward fragrances.

Chypre: fragrances made of sandalwood, bergamot, oak, patchouli and labdanum.

Orientals or Ambers: a large fragrance class featuring the scents of vanilla and animal scents together with flowers and woods. Scents bring to mind images of the Far East.

Gourmand: scents with "edible" or "dessert"-like qualities. These often contain notes like vanilla and tonka bean, as well as synthetic components designed to resemble food flavors.

The Making of Parfum

Perfume is made from about 78% to 95% of specially denatured ethyl alcohol and a mixture of fragrant essential oils and aromatic compounds used to give a pleasant smell. The amount and type of oils and compounds dictate what strength category in which it is identified.

Aromatic Compounds

• Parfum: 20%-40% aromatic compounds.
• Eau de Parfum: 10-30% aromatic compounds.
• Eau de Toilette: 5-20% aromatic compounds.
• Eau de Cologne: 2-3% aromatic compounds.

Essential Oils

• Parfum: 20- 40% essential oils (most expensive form of fragrance).
• Eau de Parfum: 10 to 20% essential oils.
• Eau de Toilette: 5 to 15 % essential oils.
• Eau de Cologne: 3 to 8% essential oils (least expensive form of fragrance).

For those who crave super subtlety, Eau de Fraiche (or body splash), with 1 to 3% essential oils, is the lightest dilution of fragrance.

Structure of a Scent

Fragrance notes are used to describe the various scents within a fragrance. Fragrance develops at different stages based on the notes. Here is a summary of the 3 different notes.

Top Note: creates scents that form a person’s initial impression of a perfume. The top note provides the “Wow” factor of a fragrance, as it can be somewhat bold. The aromas that contribute to top notes evaporate quickly.

Middle Note (Heart Note): emerges as the top note fades. The middle note imparts the true personality and character of the fragrance. Scents from this note stage become evident anywhere from 2 minutes to 1 hour after the application of a perfume.

Base Note: tenaciously holds the entire fragrance until the previous impression/note disappears. The compounds of this layer are usually not identified until up to 30 minutes after the application of the perfume.

Abundance Parfums

On the surface, fragrance seems simple: a scented liquid that you spritz onto your skin with the simple, straight-forward goal of ‘smelling good’. Yet, scent conjures potent reactions and memories. Fragrance is invisible, yet all-powerful and may arouse a spectrum of moods.

The right fragrance can make you FEEL alluring, confident, and comfortable, but how often has the right fragrance made you LOOK that way too?

Abundance Fresh Parfum is a Fresh/Green fragrance that has refreshing scent notes, including:

Top Note: light, sparkling and quickly evaporates.

• Mandarin Oil
• Lemon Oil
• Petitgrain

Middle Note: soft floral heart lasts hours.

• Orange Blossom
• Osmanthus
• Dewy Freesia

Bottom Note: deepens in intensity throughout the day.

• Patchouli
• Driftwood
• Ozonic Musk

Abundance Fresh unfolds as a tranquil wave filled with dewy orange blossom, sweet osmanthus and blue freesia buds float towards a wedge of salted driftwood.   

As Abundance Parfums “mature” on your skin, the scents grow richer and more memorable. By including SenePlex Complex, your skin improves as well. You’ll experience the anti-aging benefits of SenePlex while creating a lasting fragrance impression.

Always wait for the true scent/aroma of the Parfum to emerge after it is applied. This may take 5-10 minutes. Do not judge it immediately after it is applied. Fragrances can smell different on different people as the oils combine with everyone in a slightly different way.

Keep your bottle of Abundance away from direct heat and out of sunlight to maintain its beautiful color tint.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

Abundance Parfums are made of a combination of ingredients. Here are a few key components:

SenePlex Complex- Kinetic enzyme that increases cellular renewal.

Essential Parfum Oils- the finest and purest oils sourced for each fragrance. Read about each fragrance note above.

Glucosamine HCL- enhances the body’s ability to manufacture collagen.

Algae Extract- hydrates, protects skin from the sun, and softens the skin. It is essential in the penetration of the top layer of the stratum corneum and enhances the skin’s ability to repair itself.

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract- a skin-conditioning agent used in cosmetics and beauty care products because of its ability to act in oxidative stress and improve skin conditions.

Panthenol- Vitamin B complex is essential for formation of new healthy tissues.

Tocopheryl Acetate- Vitamin E, essential for maintaining the activities of enzymes in the cells and for the formation of red blood cells, is also an anti-oxidant and has been shown to inhibit skin cancer and aid in the healing of skin ailments. Vitamin E is a dynamic weapon against premature aging and combating wrinkles by neutralizing free radicals to stop the chain reaction of molecular damage and to protect the skin against oxidation. It’s also believed to protect skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays once absorbed into the skin.

Synthetic Urea- a compound topical antiseptic, buffering agent, humectant, and skin conditioner.

Denatured Alcohol- used as a delivery system; creates a germ and bacteria-free environment.

Alcohol Denat., Fragrance (Parfum), Glucosamine HCl, Algae Extract, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Panthenol (pro Vitamin B5), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Synthetic Urea, Water. May Contain: Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Blue 1 (CI 42090), Red 33 (CI 17200).

Mist fragrance on insides of wrists, neck, and décolletage for beautiful, long-lasting scent. Repeat throughout the day as needed. Make sure you do not rub wrists together, as this crushes the scent layers.
