How Perfume is Made: The Complete Guide

Perfume is not just a fragrance — it’s an aura, a memory, and your invisible signature. But how is perfume actually made? From ancient traditions to modern labs, perfume creation is a blend of art and science.
And as MEANT prepares to launch its exclusive luxury Eau de Parfums for men and women, let’s explore how this timeless craft comes to life — and why MEANT is set to redefine perfumes in India.

Step 1: Selecting the Fragrance DNA

Every perfume begins with a fragrance pyramid:

  • Top Notes → The first impression (fresh, citrus, fruity, spicy)
  • Middle Notes → The heart (floral, aromatic, sweet, spicy)
  • Base Notes → The foundation (woody, musky, amber, vanilla)

👉 MEANT’s upcoming perfumes are designed with universal, addictive DNAs that fit anytime, anywhere wear — not just for day or night, but signature scents that define you.

Step 2: Blending the Oils

High-quality oils are carefully blended to create balance and harmony. The right ratio ensures:

  • Strong projection (people notice when you walk by)
  • Smooth transitions (no harshness)
  • Addictive depth (you keep wanting to smell it again)

MEANT perfumes are blended to achieve head-turning compliments from the very first spray.

Step 3: Dilution with Perfume-Grade Alcohol

Perfume oils are mixed with alcohol to create strength levels:

  • EDT (Eau de Toilette): 5–15% oils
  • EDP (Eau de Parfum): 15–25% oils
  • Parfum/Extrait: 25%+ oils

👉 MEANT launches as true EDPs— giving the perfect balance between long-lasting power (8–10 hrs) and wearable luxury.

Step 4: Maceration (The Aging Process)

The blend is stored in airtight glass jars for weeks so the alcohol and oils merge. This step makes the fragrance:

  • Smoother
  • More powerful
  • More luxurious

At MEANT, we ensure slow, careful maceration to guarantee premium-quality performance.

Step 5: Bottling & Presentation

Finally, the matured perfume is filtered and bottled into luxury glass bottles. MEANT’s debut line will come in perfect travel and everyday size.
