perfume usually consists of ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol or pure alcohol <most common) and essential oils. There can be hundreds of ingredients in a single perfume.
Plants have long been used in perfumery as a source of essential oils and aroma compounds. These aromatics are usually secondary metabolites produced by plants as protection against herbivores, infections, as well as to attract pollinators. Plants are by far the largest source of fragrant compounds used in perfumery.
Animal products are often used such as Ambergris: lumps of oxidized fatty compounds, whose precursors were secreted and expelled by the Sperm Whale. Ambergris is commonly referred to as "amber" in perfumery and should not be confused with yellow amber, which is used in jewelry. Castoreum: Obtained from the odorous sacs of the North American beaver. Civet: Also called Civet Musk, this is obtained from the odorous sacs of the civets, animals in the family Viverridae, related to the Mongoose. The World Society for the Protection of Animals investigated African civets caught for this purpose. Honeycomb: From the honeycomb of the Honeybee. Both beeswax and honey can be solvent extracted to produce an absolute. Beeswax is extracted with ethanol and the ethanol evaporated to produce beeswax absolute.
Musk: Originally derived from the musk sacs from the Asian musk deer, it has now been replaced by the use of synthetic musks which usually are called "white musk".
There are also synthetic products used today to avoid high costs and animal cruelty as well as extinction.
What else can I help you with?
Which state of matter has properties that are responsible for your smelling the perfume of someone across the room?
The gaseous state of matter is responsible for you smelling the perfume of someone across the room. The perfume molecules evaporate into the air as gas particles and travel through the air to reach your nose. This is how you are able to smell the perfume from a distance.
What are chemistry properties?
Chemical properties refer to the characteristic behavior of a substance when it undergoes a chemical reaction, such as its ability to react with other substances or its stability under certain conditions. These properties are determined by the substance's chemical composition and structure. Examples of chemical properties include flammability, acidity, reactivity, and toxicity.
What happens to the chemical and physical properties of a substance formed in a chemical reaction?
The chemical properties of a substance change during a chemical reaction, meaning the substance undergoes a chemical change and forms new substances with different properties. The physical properties may also change, such as color, texture, or state of matter.
Are properties such odor color density and solubility physical or chemical properties?
Color and density are physical properties. Odor and solubility are chemical properties.
Chemical properties of matter depend mostly on what?
Chemical properties of matter depend mostly on the arrangement of atoms and the types of chemical bonds present in a substance. These properties determine how a substance interacts with other substances in chemical reactions.
Are there any chemical elements for perfume?
yes

How do you measure chemical properties?
Chemical properties are determined by experiments.
Does oreo churros have chemical properties?
If it's a chemical, it has chemical properties. An oreo churro (whatever unholy abomination that might be) is a mixture of chemicals, each of which will have their own chemical properties.
Is the smell of the perfume a chemical property?
Yes, it most certainly is.
What are the chemical properties for helium?
helium is chemically inert and has no chemical properties
Is sour milk a chemical properties or a physical properties?
Chemical property
Is reacts with water not a chemical properties?
Is reacts with water not a chemical properties
What does a change in a chemical properties of a substance result in?
A chemical reaction (change) results in a change in chemical properties.
When do the physical and chemical properties change?
Physical and chemical properties change as the result of a chemical change, which produces new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reactants.
What are the chemical properties of helium?
Helium is inert. There are no known compounds. It has no chemical properties.
What can you tell about the chemical properties of materials?
Each material has specific chemical properties.
