I’d want to start by thanking you for reading this article and showing interest in it; As a cosmetic-scientist and perfume engineer, I use development processes or methods to address potential challenges and opportunities that may exert positive influence and provide meaningful olfactory association – that certainly excludes putrid smells of burning hair and petrol.
To further enhance user/consumer-centered approaches for natural perfume development, a harmonious synergy between the ingredients in the over-all design must be kept.
Due to the long-held belief that vision is the primary sense of humans, traditional design ideas are largely constrained by vision. However, a rising body of study on human multisensory experiences in the design profession has recently attracted substantial attention to other human senses, such as the sense of smell.
Compared to memories generated by other sensory stimuli, odor-evoked memories are more emotional. With the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), scientists have offered an explanation for such a phenomenon: The amygdala and hippocampus, two regions of the human brain, are active during the olfactory sensing process. The human brain’s emotional core is the amygdala, and the hippocampus is important for remembering (Herz & Cupchik, 1995; Savic et al., 2000).

Perfume design is a process that makes the ethereal tangible
It’s always pleasant, relaxing, and energising to spend the day exploring the nearby forests and meadows. The therapeutic advantages of simply being around trees have only recently been scientifically investigated, despite the fact that trees have long been a symbol of life and plenty in many civilizations. So we developed a natural perfume Amyris Vetiver that captures the beneficial terpenes (Volatile Organic Compounds) in forest air.
The Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku, which entails exploring the forest knowingly, intentionally, and intuitively in order to immerse the mind and body in the regeneration atmosphere, is where the practise of forest bathing today as we know it originates.
The incredible health advantages of a forest walk, however, due to another factor. Higher concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen flood your lungs when you take a deep breath of forest air. By dispersing various aerosol types into the air, trees may also regulate their surroundings. During a forest bathing session, the person wanders through a shower of forest aerosols, which are mostly made up of terpenes, organic fragrant volatile molecules that also contribute to the therapeutic effects of essential oils.
Terpenes have an isoprene (C5H8) bond as their fundamental structural component. By using head-to-tail condensation, the two basic C5 building blocks produce a variety of terpenes. The resultant terpenes are divided into mono-, sesqui-, di-, sester-, tri-, sesquar-, tetra-, and polyterpenes (C10, C15, C20, C25, C30, C35, C40, and lengthy chains of numerous C5, respectively) depending on how many connected isoprene units were involved (Kirby & Keasling, 2009).
Coniferous species are said to release the majority of monoterpenes, while broad-leaved trees emit the majority of isoprenes, according to some reports (Bao et al., 2008).
Forest therapy/Forest Bath is becoming more and more popular today because it gives the modern technophile a chance to unwind and align their biological rhythm with the frequencies of the forest. Hence, we engineered a product to explore the latent and well-known powers of this Olfactory Experience of Forest Bath.
Amyris Vetiver Parfum Spray
AMYRIS VETIVER Natural Perfume https://bellebotanique.com.au/perfumes-collections/jungle-green-dewy-fresh/
This scent evokes feelings of being far from the city with its zing and cooling green notes.
The ability to put aside trivial problems and daily concerns while enjoying the energising effects of altitude and the crackle of cones beneath one’s feet. Amyris Vetiver Natural Perfume is an uncanny representation of the odours of the earth—mineral elements, stones, twigs, and water—as well as the feelings associated with those aromas. No one is oblivious to its perfume since it so vividly transports you to the memories we all have of walking through a forest and the aroma of the ground after rain.
The smell of a deep forest with rain wind, what it is like to feel young and happy again!
