Fragrance Mixing

For my most recent uni group project we had the opportunity to mix our own fragrance in order to form our presentation around it. Before adventuring into the stacks of different scents, we compiled research into traditional Middle Eastern fragrance ingredients to appeal to our consumer of a 35-50 year old Middle Eastern male.

Traditional Arabic/Middle Eastern scents mood board

When researching into traditional Arabic scents we found that the role of perfume in Arabic culture plays a major role in religious ceremonies. The scents we established to be of most importance were wood based, rose and oudh creating a sweet smelling fragrance. 

Initially we found it difficult to mix the different notes together but after a few tries we created ‘ONE’ a traditional sweet smelling strong wood and rose based scent with a mix of citrus, tobacco and spice.
