Perfumes are a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds (fragrances), fixatives and
solvents, usually in liquid form, used to give the human body, animals, food, objects, and living
spaces a pleasant scent.

perfumes are complex combinations of natural and/or man-made substances that are added to
many consumer products to give them a distinctive smell. The salient feature of this program is the
emphasis being laid on the overall development of student with a major focus on application and
filed work.
