In the following post we show you which are the best essential oils used in the manufacture of the most addictive fragrances. Cologne The cologne is notable for having one of the lowest concentrations of essential oils on the market. This concentration is between 1% and 8% depending on the brand. Its duration is more volatile than other compositions such as perfume or eau de parfum. Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Eau de Parfum (Eau de Perfume) The eau de parfum or eau de parfum is a term used to designate those olfactory compositions that have between 16% and 18% of essential oils. EDP is between perfume and Eau de Toilette (EDT) in terms of scent concentration. They are a good choice if you want to go for a long-lasting, yet economical scent. Our EDP DIVAIN-155 will surely conquer your heart with its great elegance. Try it! Eau de Toilette (EDT) or Eau de Cologne The term Eau de Toilette or Eau de Toilette refers to formulas with a scent concentration between 8% and 15%. Their price is cheaper than perfumes and Eau de Parfum. The duration of the scent is also shorter. If you want to go into detail, take a look at our post on the differences between the terms: perfume, cologne, EDP and EDT. Gourmand The term "gourmand" in perfumery is used to classify sweet perfumes designed for those with a sweet tooth. Aromas with edible and irresistible notes such as honey, chocolate or caramel. They are warm and are often combined with other base notes such as patchouli. Visit our article with the best sweet perfumes and delight yourself with their delicious scents. Layering Layering is the art of combining existing fragrances to create totally new and personalised ones. At DIVAIN we invite you to discover this technique through our Layering Set collection that includes two perfumes and a vaporiser so you can create unique scents and live sensory experiences from another world. Raw material Raw materials in perfumery are all those natural or synthetic ingredients that are used in the manufacture of a perfume. When several raw materials are combined, a so-called "chord" is formed, which can be simple or complex, depending on the number of notes that are mixed. Nose When we talk about the Nose behind a perfume, we are referring to the creator of that fragrance: the master perfumer. The one who is capable of endowing a scent with a unique personality and creating indescribable sensations in people through each note that composes it. Without a doubt, for us, the most beautiful profession in the world. Olfactory note This is the name given to each of the different scents that can be distinguished in a perfume. In general, a perfume is a set of olfactory notes whose combination gives rise to a unique aroma that characterises it. There are three types of notes that can be recognised in a fragrance: top notes, heart notes and base notes. Headnote The top notes that make up a perfume are the ones we smell first and therefore the first to fade over time. And although they only last a few seconds, they are quite important if you want to make a good first impression. It is very common for top notes to be citrus, fruity or green. Heart note When the top notes evaporate, the body of the fragrance is followed by the middle or heart notes. These are essential and tend to be mainly floral and spicy notes. They take several minutes to develop on the skin and can linger for hours. Base note These notes are the most intense and therefore the ones that last until the end. They are perceived after the heart notes and usually bring depth to the perfume. They are heavy notes such as woods or resins. Three of the most commonly used ingredients for fragrance bases are amber, vanilla and tonka bean. Perfume This term is used to refer to the olfactory composition that has a high concentration of essential oil of between 20% and 30%. Thanks to this characteristic, its aroma is very long-lasting and intense. Scent pyramid The olfactory pyramid is a representation of the different types of olfactory notes that make up a fragrance. This structure is divided into three parts: top notes, heart notes and base notes. Sillage The term "sillage" or "trail" is used in perfumery to define the olfactory trace left behind by a person who has applied perfume. As soon as the perfume is applied to the skin, the sillage will be higher than after a few hours. Steamer A vaporizer is a container in which you can take your favourite fragrances with you wherever you go. At DIVAIN you can buy your vaporiser in mini format. It fits perfectly in any bag and you can refill it as many times as you want.

If you have recently travelled or are planning a getaway in the next few weeks, these questions may have crossed your mind more than once: can I take my perfume with me, am I allowed to take perfume in my hand luggage or do I have to take it in my checked baggage, how do I carry my perfumes in my luggage, how do I carry my perfumes in my luggage? The truth is that there is a whole set of regulations surrounding this issue that you should take into account before preparing your luggage. But if you're still not sure, don't worry, in this post we'll answer all your questions so that your next getaway won't be without your favourite fragrance. ;) Is it possible to take perfumes on the plane? This is undoubtedly the big question for many fragrance lovers: can I take my favourite perfume with me on a plane? What happens if I don't check in my luggage? The answer is yes, you are allowed to take perfumes into the aircraft cabin and carry them with you in your hand luggage. But be careful; there are a whole set of limitations from a regulatory point of view that you will have to comply with if you don't want your perfumes to stay on the ground. How many ml of perfume can I take on a plane? The maximum amount of liquid that can be carried on board an aircraft in hand luggage must not exceed 100 ml per item. In other words, you can carry more than one item in different containers, but each of these containers must have a maximum capacity of 100 ml separately. Another point to bear in mind is that some airports, such as AENA, only allow a maximum of 1 litre of liquids in total in hand luggage. In other words, the individual containers must be a maximum of 100 ml and in total, they must not exceed 1 litre all together. If you want to exceed this amount, please note that there are no restrictions on liquids in checked baggage. Another option is to buy the products you need and which exceed the maximum quantity allowed after passing through the security checkpoint, inside the airport itself. Can I wear more than one perfume? If you are one of those scent connoisseurs who love to have one perfume for the day and another for the night, you should know that yes, you are allowed to carry more than one perfume in your hand luggage. Please note, however, that you must still comply with current regulations regarding liquids: containers of no more than 100 ml and a maximum of 1 litre of liquids in total. Fortunately, most perfume formats on the market are between 50 ml and 100 ml, so you will probably have no problem carrying your favourite perfume with you. Another option, which not only saves space but can also be a much more practical alternative, is to buy perfumes in 'travel' format or reusable containers that you can refill with your favourite fragrance. How should I wear perfumes? To take your perfumes into the aircraft cabin, you must place them in transparent zip bags of a standard size of 20x20cm along with the rest of the liquids you carry in your luggage: sprays, toothpaste, make-up, creams, etc. When it is time to put your hand luggage through the X-ray machine, you should remove the transparent bag and place it in plain view on a separate tray to facilitate its inspection. Don't worry if you don't have these bags at home: almost all airports offer clear bags in the standard sizes at the security checkpoint. Where to buy perfumes to take on a trip? Without a doubt, travel-friendly perfumes are the best option to take your fragrance with you when you have to catch a flight. They are specially designed to take up less space, weigh less (making it easier for you to comply with luggage weight limitations) and are more practical to carry from one place to another. At DIVAIN we offer several options so that you can take your perfumes with you anywhere in the world: Rechargeable vaporiser It is the ecological and practical option to take your perfume with you not only when travelling, but also for everyday use. This small 5ml vaporiser can be carried comfortably in any handbag or backpack. Once the inside is used up, it can be refilled as many times as necessary with different perfumes and fragrances. However, to make sure you don't mix scents from different perfumes, make sure you clean it well between uses with alcohol to break down the molecular structure of the previous fragrance. Discovery set: 15ml perfumes On our website we also have a wide variety of Discovery Sets composed of small 15 ml perfumes so that you have a variety of fragrances during your travels and you can carry them easily. Ideal for long trips of more than a week. Sample Pack: 3ml perfumes If you like to try a new perfume every day, at DIVAIN you will also find perfume sample packs at very competitive prices. Without a doubt, the perfect, most convenient and varied option for travelling with your favourite fragrances! Advantages of taking your perfume on a trip Why take your perfume on a trip? You'll feel more comfortable with your trusted fragrance on you. Your perfume is part of your identity, even if you are far away from home! Travel formats take up less space, and allow you to use the extra room for other important accessories. It is essential to take into account the weight of your luggage and adapt to the conditions of the airline. A travel perfume format helps you to avoid exceeding the weight of your suitcase.

If you are one of those scent connoisseurs who love to have one perfume for the day and another for the night, you should know that yes, you are allowed to carry more than one perfume in your hand luggage. Please note, however, that you must still comply with current regulations regarding liquids: containers of no more than 100 ml and a maximum of 1 litre of liquids in total. Fortunately, most perfume formats on the market are between 50 ml and 100 ml, so you will probably have no problem carrying your favourite perfume with you. Another option, which not only saves space but can also be a much more practical alternative, is to buy perfumes in 'travel' format or reusable containers that you can refill with your favourite fragrance. How should I wear perfumes? To take your perfumes into the aircraft cabin, you must place them in transparent zip bags of a standard size of 20x20cm along with the rest of the liquids you carry in your luggage: sprays, toothpaste, make-up, creams, etc. When it is time to put your hand luggage through the X-ray machine, you should remove the transparent bag and place it in plain view on a separate tray to facilitate its inspection. Don't worry if you don't have these bags at home: almost all airports offer clear bags in the standard sizes at the security checkpoint. Where to buy perfumes to take on a trip? Without a doubt, travel-friendly perfumes are the best option to take your fragrance with you when you have to catch a flight. They are specially designed to take up less space, weigh less (making it easier for you to comply with luggage weight limitations) and are more practical to carry from one place to another. At DIVAIN we offer several options so that you can take your perfumes with you anywhere in the world: Rechargeable vaporiser It is the ecological and practical option to take your perfume with you not only when travelling, but also for everyday use. This small 5ml vaporiser can be carried comfortably in any handbag or backpack. Once the inside is used up, it can be refilled as many times as necessary with different perfumes and fragrances. However, to make sure you don't mix scents from different perfumes, make sure you clean it well between uses with alcohol to break down the molecular structure of the previous fragrance.

Ever wondered why your favorite perfume is so captivating and lasts long? The answer is the perfume pyramid, or olfactory pyramid. It's a complex structure that reveals the beauty and balance of fragrances. But do you really get how this hidden framework makes your scent special? In the world of perfumery, the perfume pyramid is key. It helps us grasp the layers of fragrance. This framework lets us analyze and enjoy the notes that blend to create a beautiful scent. What is a Perfume Pyramid? The perfume pyramid shows the layers of scent in a perfume. It helps us see how our favorite fragrances are made. By looking at the perfume pyramid, we can see the art and complexity behind them. The Building Blocks of Fragrance A perfume has three main parts: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. These parts work together to create a scent that lasts. Top Notes: The first smell, often light and fresh. Heart Notes: The main smell of the perfume. Base Notes: The smell that lasts the longest. Unveiling the Olfactory Pyramid The perfume pyramid shows the order of these notes. The top notes are at the top, the heart notes in the middle, and the base notes at the bottom. This order shows how the scent changes over time. Knowing about the perfume pyramid helps us appreciate the skill in making fragrances. It shows how the different layers work together to create a unique scent experience. "The fragrance pyramid is a powerful tool for understanding the nuances of a perfume. It's like unraveling the layers of a masterpiece, revealing the true essence and beauty of the scent." Exploring the perfume pyramid Exploring the perfume pyramid helps us understand how fragrances are composed. It shows how they change on our skin. This knowledge lets us pick perfumes that really speak to us, making our scent experience unique. The perfume structure, also known as the olfactory pyramid or scent pyramid, has three main parts: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. Each part is key to the fragrance composition and how the perfume smells on us. Unveiling the Olfactory Pyramid To really get a perfume, we need to know each layer's role in the olfactory pyramid. Let's dive into these layers: Top Notes: These are the first scents we smell when we apply perfume. They're light, fresh, and grab our attention. Heart Notes: These scents come after the top notes fade. They add depth and complexity to the perfume structure. Base Notes: These scents last the longest, giving a warm, lasting aroma. They're often heavier and earthier. Knowing each layer's role in the olfactory pyramid helps us appreciate the fragrance composition. It shows how the scent changes over time.

They evaporate quickly, leaving a brief but enticing first impression. They aim to entice our sense of smell and prepare us for what's to come.

These are the middle notes, the real stars. They make the fragrance's main character and are often the most recognizable and lasting. The heart notes form the fragrance core. They blend all the elements together. This creates a harmonious, long-lasting scent experience. These notes come after the top notes and stay on the skin, slowly showing the perfume's true essence. The heart notes are key in the perfume pyramid. They connect the short-lived top notes to the lasting base notes. This allows for a smooth scent evolution that grabs your attention. These heart notes build the perfume's character, adding depth, complexity, and lasting power. "The heart notes are the true soul of a perfume, revealing the fragrance's true nature and personality." When you explore fragrances, focus on the heart notes. They unlock a perfume's true essence and its unique fragrance core. By understanding these captivating notes, you start a journey that will make you appreciate perfumery more. Base Notes: The Lasting Impression Exploring a perfume's layers, we find the base notes. These are the deepest, lasting parts. They are often earthy, woody, or musky, making the scent stay longer. The base notes are key to a perfume's fragrance foundation. They help the scent last longer and balance the perfume pyramid. These notes are the backbone of the fragrance, making it memorable and lasting. Understanding base notes is crucial to enjoying a perfume's complexity. Ingredients like sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and musk add depth and warmth. As the other notes fade, the base notes leave a lasting scent. Base Note Ingredient Olfactory Profile Contribution to Fragrance Sandalwood Woody, creamy, and slightly sweet Provides a deep, long-lasting foundation Vanilla Sweet, warm, and comforting Adds depth and richness to the scent Amber Resinous, warm, and slightly musky Enhances the overall longevity of the fragrance Musk Earthy, sensual, and slightly animalistic Provides a distinctive and lasting base note Knowing about base notes helps us appreciate a fragrance's complexity.
