The Persian Muslim doctor and chemist Avicenna (also known as Ibn Sina) introduced the process of extracting oils from flowers by means of distillation, the procedure most commonly given to today. He first experimented with the rose. Until his discovery, mellow perfumes were mixtures of oil and crushed herbs, or petals which made a strong blend. Rose sodden was more delicate, and immediately became popular. Both of the raw ingredients and distillation technology significantly influenced western perfumery and deductive developments, particularly Perfume chemistry.
In some cases, words such as "extrême", "intense" or "concentrée" appended to fragrance names might indicate completely contradistinct fragrances that relates only because of a companion perfume accord. An pattern of this would be ChanelâÂÂs Pour Monsieur and Pour Monsieur Concentrée.
