Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 2 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 2 101 FRAGRANCE The term perfume is associated with fragrance - an arousing odor, pleasant smell, erotica, sensuality. The French use of the term perfume dates back to the 16th Century and is derived from the Latin per"through" + fumare -"to smoke". It describes the activity used to spread scent in churches, public places and homes by burning aromatic plants -- incense -- and thus “through smoke” Today the production of perfume is part of a multi billion-dollar industry. In ancient times it also played a major role in the prosperous trading of merchandise between the east and the west. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 3 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 3 101 FRAGRANCE Smell -- one of the five senses -is the sense that allows us, with the help of organs in our nose and a process of memory and associations in our brain, to recognize our world and to understand and adapt to our environment. It tells us what we like and dislike; it tells us with whom to fall in love. It stimulates our appetite and enriches our eating experience. It triggers memories and affects our moods. The lack of it might endanger our lives or leave us in state of depression. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 4 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 4 101 FRAGRANCE Perfume Basics - Perfume is a man made product, mostly in the form of liquid, which is composed of several, sometimes hundreds, of components that produce a pleasant smell by having their odor molecules float in the air. Plants, animals and synthetic aromatic compounds make up the source ingredients for the perfume industry. The formulas used for creating perfume are usually carefully guarded secrets – but almost all perfume manufacturers have developed a similar technique that enables the scent of the perfume to unfold gradually over time. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 5 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 5 HISTORY & FRAGRANCE THE HISTORY OF PERFUME The History of Perfume - The history of the production and use of perfume stretches back some thousands of years. Perfume, incense and the use of scent were mentioned many times in the bible, along with remains of records describing production in ancient Egypt, the land of Israel, India, Mesopotamia and in the Far East. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. The Greeks, followed by the Romans, refined the process of production of aromatic oils and perfumes, and emphasized the use of them in the culture of body care. Islamic scientists, hundreds of years ago, introduced a process of distilling that enabled manufacturers to extract essential oils and fragrances from raw materials. www.jesozio.com 6 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 6 SPICE, INCENSE & FRAGRANCE INCENSE TRADE ROUTES The Ancient Incense Trade Routes The Perfume and incense trade route played an important role in the connection between the East and the West – providing commercial activity that also included the trade of spices and precious stones. Fortresses were built in strategic points along the trade routes in order to protect the convoys carrying the expensive merchandise from robbers. From ancient Arabia and its neighbors, this route brought famous aromatic plants such as frankincense and myrrh to the holy land, and eventually to the western world. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. Copyright 2011 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 7 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 7 101 FRAGRANCE Basic classification of perfume is done using 3 main categories: •The concentration/dilution level of the essential oils •The family to which it belongs •The notes of the scent Concentration/Dilution: Since essential oils are by nature incredibly concentrated, extremely toxic and should not be consumed, inhaled or come in contact with skin, the mixture of essential oils is diluted with alcohol and/or with other neutral odor sources like water, coconut oil, wax or extracts of jojoba. This is also done to cut the intensity of the scent. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 8 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 8 9 101 FRAGRANCE The Origin/Source of Essential Oils Plants, animals and synthetic aromatic compounds make up the source ingredients for the perfume industry. Plants – Plants have been the earliest and the main source of aromatic compounds in perfume production, primarily because of their relative ease of accessibility, and the great variety of odors among them. The source of aromatic compounds can come from different parts of the plants. From flowers like the rose and jasmine, from resin like frankincense, myrrh and pine, from bulbs like those of the iris plant, from bark like cinnamon, from seeds like Tonka bean, coriander, anise and others, or from the root like orrisroot. Some commonly used leaves and twigs are lavender, sage and rosemary. Cloves are an example of a flower (in bud form) that is valued. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 9 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 9 101 FRAGRANCE Many fruits that elicit enticing odors, such as cherries and strawberries, are surprisingly not used in the production of perfumes. Whenever these fragrances are achieved they are the result of synthetic compounds. On the other hand, the leaves and rind of the fruit of citrus plants are often used in the perfume industry. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. Some plants have been more difficult to find or to grow. Plants like myrrh and frankincense for example were grown, in the past, only in Somalia and Southern Arabia; persimmon was grown in Ein Gedi by the Dead Sea, some others like cinnamon were grown in Ceylon and south India, others in China. Together with the spices grown in the east, these rare plants triggered the establishment of the famous ‘Trade Route’, known also as the ‘Perfume Route’ or ‘Incense Route’. www.jesozio.com 10 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 1 0 101 FRAGRANCE Animals – Animal pheromones have been used in perfume production for a number of centuries. Perfumers have highly valued them for the affect they have on the perfume compounds, since they tend to heighten the intensity of the fragrance. Today, simulated animal pheromone extracts are synthetically created in order to protect endangered animals. Synthetic compounds – The use of synthetic aromatic ingredients for perfume production goes back as far as the end of the 19th century. The progress made in the research of organic chemistry made it possible to develop new aromatic compounds that replaced, in many cases, the more expensive and rare natural aromatic sources, thus, allowing the manufacture of perfume for more reasonable prices.

P AG E 1 1 101 FRAGRANCE Aromatic Essential Oils: Absolutes: (Derived from flowers, stems, leaves, barks and fruits) (Created to remove aromatic components from a plant which cannot yield aromatic essential oil) Examples: • Orange Oil • Lavender Oil • Patchouli Oil • Sandalwood Oil Examples: • Rose • Jasmine • Orange Flower Resins: Man Made Ingredients: (Materials which are exuded from a plant) Examples: • Myrrh • Benzoin • Fir • Oakmoss Commonly called chemicals, varieties of aromatic sensations, reproduced synthetically. Note: Most fragrances are comprised of a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 12 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 1 2 HOW FRAGRANCE IS MADE METHOD TO THE MADNESS Today, fragrance is usually constructed from a mixture of essential oils and fragrances, combined with fixatives and solvents. The essential oils contain the volatile fragrance of the component. It is incredibly concentrated oil which contains the distinctive aromatic properties of the plant, in a way, its essence. The oils are produced usually through distillation, expression or solvent extraction. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. Copyright 2011 Sozio, Inc. There are different methods that are used in order to extract the aromatic compounds from the raw materials. The result is often somewhat different than the original odor since it is affected by the extracting process. www.jesozio.com www.jesozio.com 13 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 1 3 101 FRAGRANCE Perfumes are typically manufactured to unfold, over time. They are formulated based on 3 ‘Notes’ – Top Notes, Middle Notes and Base Notes. Each of these notes represents a different group of scents within the perfume’s fragrance. The fragrance gradually develops over time as a new note takes over from the previous note. Base notes – Are noticed just before the middle notes fade. They consist of large and heavier scent molecules that evaporate slowly and can be detected even after 24 hours. The middle and base notes are the two that are at the core of the perfume’s fragrance. Top notes – Give us the first immediate impression of the fragrance. They are usually strong, sharp scents. These scents are made of light molecules and generally last a matter of 10-30 minutes before they evaporate. Middle notes – Are noticed as the top notes evaporate. They are more rounded, mellow scents. They usually appear some 10-45 minutes after applying the perfume and last longer than the top notes.

P AG E 2 8 101 FRAGRANCE Chanel no.5, an ancient mystery for evermore history… “What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.” Answered by ever popular with the rich and sophisticated, Marilyn Monroe. Interesting and true, the signature fragrance Chanel No. 5 was created after a fortune teller told Coco Chanel that her lucky number was five. It was released on the fifth day of the fifth month of the year, May 5th 1921. Ernext Beaux also created four other perfumes for Chanel; they are the little known Bois d’Illes, No. 22, Cuir de Russie, and Gardenie. However, Gardenie has recently been re-released by the House in 2005 with international acclaim, a scent that fuses jasmine with musks. This eighty-something year old fragrance is one of the best-selling perfumes in the world. It actually made history as it has been generated by mixing eighty natural and artificial scents – and for the first time people could not identify what it was. Before Chanel No. 5 was made, perfumes were just flower scents with poetic names, and some people consider Chanel No. 5 to be a first real perfume. The big novelty, however, was the aldehydes. The legend says that the ‘extensive’ amount of aldehydes used in Chanel No. 5 was in fact the result of a mishap in the lab. Whether this is true or one of many myths created about this icon, who knows…? Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 29 S O Z I O , I N C .

It’s true that once again, the fall season offers an embarrassment of riches. For women seeking mystery and seduction, Givenchy unveils Dahlia Noir. For fans of gourmand scents, the choice is vast: how about mischief-filled Prada Candy? INCENSE TRADE ROUTES Powdery scents and hues are also in. Check out: Chanel’s N°19 Poudré, for its blend of iris and cottony musks. Diesel promises an aphrodisiac effect for its woodsy-gourmand new fragrance, Loverdose, which comes in a surprising, multi-facetted heartshaped bottle. Burberry presents Body, a perfume announced as ‘the most exciting launch we’ve ever done.’ Several newer luxury houses, like Bottega Veneta and Elie Saab are entering the world of perfume, and Valentino is making a very visible comeback, with a perfume christened Valentina. The stars are back in force, too, including Céline Dion, with Signature; Beyoncé, with Pulse; Jennifer Lopez, with Love & Light… And let’s not forget singing sensation Justin Bieber, with his first fragrance for women, Someday, a huge hit in the USA.

Skin tones and ultra-dark blacks, precious woods, sweet treats, bouquets of white flowers, optimism… INCENSE TRADE ROUTES For him or for both: what’s new? For men, the most hyped launch is probably Jean Paul Gaultier’s Kokorico, a woody-gourmand scent in a polymorphous, half-torso, half-face bottle. Couturiers Dolce & Gabbana invite men to act ‘Le Fou’ (The Fool); Hugo Boss suggests smelling ‘Just Different. And Azzaro has recruited singer Julian Casablancas for their new fragrance in a microphone bottle: Decibel. There’s also been a lot of attention trained on the return of Calvin Klein, with ck one shock, a duo with a rebellious and trendy style. Black for him; white for her: be careful, these new ck one’s are not meant to be shared! The following scents, however, are meant for him and her to share: Penhaligon’s tonic Juniper Sling, with its waves of British gin… Serge Lutens’s angry yet elegant Vitriol d’œillet, and delicate Eau cHic by Parfums Nicolaï. As for oud wood, it is still a star in rare scents. For him or her, Van Cleef’s Precious Oud reveals oud wood garbed in spicy and floral tonalities. The Olfactive Studio has arrived in perfumeries with a line of photography-inspired unisex scents christened Chambre Noire (Darkroom), Still Life and Autoportrait (Self-Portrait). These fragrances were conceived of collectively, based on fragranistas’ on-line discussions. A first! Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. www.jesozio.com 31 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 3 1 101 FRAGRANCE NUDE FRAGRANCE TRENDS Nude & Powdery Pale beige, skin tones, cream, powder pink and more: after make-up, nude tones are coming to perfume. Several designers have adopted this key color trend for their bottles or their ads. For their first fragrances, Bottega Veneta and Elie Saab, for instance, respectively went with a somewhat leathery chypre scent and a whitefloral bouquet. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. & POWDERY For women who love nude tones, Valentino has adorned the bottle for Valentina – a floriental with a white truffle note – with a floral brooch in a trio of neutral nude shades. For Givenchy’s powdery-chypry Dahlia Noir and Nina Ricci’s L’Air, the shade takes on pinkish accents. A chic blend of couture sophistication and vintage softness emanates from each of these new scents. www.jesozio.com 32 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 3 2 101 FRAGRANCE FRAGRANCE TRENDS Ultra-black Black is back for men, after an absence of several years. It’s all over bottles, for everything from fresh scents to fuller-bodied ones. What’s new is that designers are pushing the envelope all the way to absolutely opaque black bottles, unlike what they were doing until recently. This ultra-black trend carries a message of strength and self-confidence, and will suit young city-dwellers looking for trendy, sexy scents perfectly. Hugo Just Different, a woody, fresh and fruity scent, and Armani Code Sport, a sparkling spicy-citrus scent, are both riding that wave. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. ULTRA BLACK But more powerful woody-orientals – like Gaultier’s Kokorico, Calvin Klein’s ck one shock for him, and Azzaro’s Decibel, with cocoa, tobacco and aldehyde facets respectively – have chosen that color code, too. Montblanc’s neo-classical fougère, Legend, also comes in opaque black. The intense black trend is still relatively rare for women. But Cacharel did choose it for Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss, a coffeeinflected gourmand scent, redolent of the temptation of forbidden fruit. www.jesozio.com 33 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 3 3 101 FRAGRANCE OVERDOSE OF OPTIMISM Overdose of Optimism While economists may say that the crisis isn’t over yet, designers beg to differ! Fragrance houses are projecting a massive message of optimism in their latest launches. Yves Rocher, for instance, christened their latest perfume Moment de Bonheur (“Moment of Happiness”). The gentle, cheerful scent reveals a rose with green and woody facets. The late-50s, early60s, French New Wave cinema-inspired ad for Nina Ricci’s L’Air highlights the sense of carefree happiness with charmingly retro music. True to its name, the more modern and colorful ad for Kenzo Madly focuses on being madly happy. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. Even packaging is all about good cheer and joie de vivre. Two cases in point: Prada Candy’s bright pink box with a lighthearted drawing of a young woman, and the extravagant tulle-topped cap for Vera Wang’s Lovestruck. As a trend, optimism is essentially – but not exclusively – feminine. Paul Smith, has launched ‘Optimistic’ as a his-and-hers duo. Twice as many reasons to look at the bright side! www.jesozio.com 34 S O Z I O , I N C . P AG E 3 4 101 FRAGRANCE Fragrance is everywhere. In your soap, your toothpaste, your shampoo, your conditioner, your hairdressing, your deodorant, your polish, your washing-up liquid, your washing powder, your make-up, your hand cream, your lip salve, your fabric conditioner, your fly spray, your everything. Even your fragrance-free things have "odor neutralizers" in them to take away their intrinsically nasty smells. Copyright 2012 Sozio, Inc. Today the fragrance industry is faced with so many rules and regulations.
