Fine perfumery products are used for the sole sake of their scents, and their fragrance serves as the functional purpose of the product. The formulation of their fragrance composition is the most refined, and scents can be classified under six olfactory families: floral, green, aquatic, citrusy, fruity, and gourmand. The quality of fragrance oils is a crucial factor in determining the ultimate quality of any manufactured scent. The materials used in fine perfumery products are the 1st grade commercial materials from the finest manufacturers of aroma chemicals and essential oils on the earth, such as Givaudan, Firmenich, IFF, Symrise, Bedoukian, and Kao. The fragrance ingredients used to formulate fine fragrances and fragranced cosmetics and personal care products are often kept secret, and dozens, sometimes even hundreds, of chemicals can hide under the word "fragrance" on product labels. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) published a list of 2,339 possible fragrance materials used by IFRA affiliated members, including fragrance suppliers, who use chemicals from this list or "palette" of ingredients to formulate fine fragrances and fragranced cosmetics and personal care products.
