Davidoff, quando a elegância de um charuto se transforma em uma variedade de perfumes para homens

A história da casa de Davidoff pertence ao suíço Zino Davidoff. Nascido na Ucrânia, este comerciante de charutos começou muito cedo a abrir a sua tabacaria em Genebra. Depois de muitas viagens de estudo ao Brasil e ao Caribe, ele fundou a sua própria empresa em 1946. No entanto, depois de romper o acordo com o regime castrista, decidiu mudar as suas plantações para Santo Domingo, nos anos 90. Davidoff é considerado um dos pioneiros da indústria do tabaco, líder da fabricação e design de vários produtos de tabaco. Sim, mas não só ...

A filosofia de Zino Davidoff

No entanto, deve-se notar que a adaptabilidade única de Davidoff não foi suficiente para estabelecer a reputação desta empresa. De fato, Zino Davidoff também foi muito apreciado pelo seu lado epicurista. "Viver cada momento ao máximo" era o seu lema. Ele rapidamente se destacou na indústria do luxo, através dos seus charutos cubanos e dominicanos. No entanto, exibindo uma ambição transbordante, ele também projetou rapidamente muitos acessórios básicos que acompanhavam os seus produtos, como umidificadores de charutos ou cinzeiros. Desde 1980, Davidoff se especializou em acessórios de luxo em geral. Foi nesse momento que a sua diversificação realmente começou.

Davidoff desenvolveu uma grande variedade de itens, como relógios, óculos, gravatas, canetas e perfumes. Cada um desses produtos tem em comum o uso de materiais nobres. Os produtos Davidoff, e especialmente os perfumes da marca, exibem uma extrema elegância. Os perfumes masculinos da marca são frequentemente dotados de um frescor incomum e misturam brilhantemente virilidade e sensualidade.

Davidoff não conhece o meio-termo: tudo o que você sente ou experimenta é vivido com intensidade.

Do tabaco ao perfume, há apenas um passo ...

As origens da perfumaria

Antes de tudo, para entender melhor a ligação entre tabaco e perfume, saiba que estes dois universos são realmente particularmente relacionados ... Assim como o tabaco, o perfume está presente nos homens há quatro milénios. As pessoas sempre gostaram muito do cheiro de ambos e também as ofereceram a Deus através da fumaça. Ervas foram queimadas e queimadas criando uma fumaça cheirrosa. Da mesma forma, durante cerimonias religiosas, muitas pessoas fumam e até é considerado um ritual de passagem. Nesse sentido, o tabaco, como o perfume, tem uma dimensão quase sagrada, um conceito totalmente compartilhado pelo próprio Zino Davidoff.

A etimologia da palavra "perfume", uma ligação direta com a fumaça

Também suspeitamos que a palavra perfume, no sentido etimológico do termo, venha do latim "per-fumum", que literalmente significa "através da fumaça". Isso se refere aos famosos rituais de queima de aromáticos como o incenso para oferecer aos deuses. Nesse sentido, as volutas de fumaça sobem ao céu e são como uma ponte entre os mortais e os imortais.

Os perfumes mais famosos de Davidoff : Cool Water, o best-seller da marca

Embora a primeira fragrância de Davidoff tenha sido criada em 1984, o seu best-seller veio quatro anos depois. Nomeado Cool Water, permanece até hoje uma das fragrâncias mais famosas da marca. Este perfume mítico pode se orgulhar de ter revolucionado a perfumaria masculina, impondo uma intensa frescura. Cool Water é um perfume inspirado na fusão do homem e do oceano. Proporciona uma sensação extrema de paixão e limpidez. Com ele, tudo é energia e movimento, como um homem que nunca para. Cool Water é um perfume aquático projetado para um homem que está perfeitamente confortável com a sua masculinidade e que adora todos os dias enfrentar novos desafios.

Os outros perfumes da marca Davidoff

Obviamente, a marca não parou na sua criação mais famosa. Além disso, este perfume foi rejeitado várias vezes, tornando-se um perfume feminino nomeado Cool Water Woman ou Cool Water Game, Cool Water Frozen, Cool Water Sea, Scent and Sun, Cool Water Happy Summer ou Cool Water Wave. Davidoff Horizon de 2016, entretanto, é muito diferente. É uma fougère picante, inspirada nas paisagens infinitas e no horizonte. Davidoff The Game, por outro lado, é mais aromático. É pensado para todos os homens que gostam de se destacar e se afirmar. Hot Water é uma fragrância oriental e amadeirada que desempenha claramente o registro da sensualidade. Em geral, cada um dos perfumes de Davidoff é projetado para "ter prazer em coisas bonitas e provar a própria essência da felicidade".

Understanding Perfumes: Types, Composition, and Families

What Are the Different Types of Perfumes?

In a perfume bottle, there isn't just the fragrant substance; the perfume is primarily composed of a carrier whose role is to dissolve the fragrant substances well. There is a finisher, usually a fixative, which helps strengthen the fragrance's tenacity. The fixative is often in the form of iris root powder.
There is an abundance of perfumes, fragrances here and there that fill the shelves of perfumeries worldwide. But what's most impressive is that each of these aromas is unique. So, it's natural to ask the following question:

What are the differences between these fragrances based on?

We can differentiate perfumes based on various criteria. Firstly, there is a difference based on the nature of the medium.
There are 3 types of perfume according to this criterion:
1.    Alcoholic fragrances are the most common; the carrier is pure ethanol. It has the advantage of being very volatile, leaving only the scent on the skin.
2.    Oily fragrances are particularly gentle on the skin.
3.    Solid perfumes, commonly called "perfume concrete," where the perfume components are diluted in a "balm." These scents are applied in small quantities to selected areas.

Furthermore, a distinction can be made even in alcoholic perfumes, according to the content of fragrant compounds. In fact, in our perfumes, we see different names like "eau de parfum" or "eau de toilette." That's where the difference in quality lies, often related to the price difference between perfumes.

•    There are sweet waters or colognes that contain less than 8% fragrant substance. Fixation is about 1 hour.
•    Eau de Toilette has a concentration of 6 to 12%, for a fixation of about 3 hours.
•    Eau de parfum is part of this concentration growth with between 10 and 20% fragrant substance, for a period of several hours.
•    Finally, there are the perfumes themselves, which are composed of 15 to 40% fragrant material and ensure fixation for several days.

Perfume Composition: The Notes

When we talk about perfume, we often talk about notes: top, heart, base notes. They correspond to the composition in fragrant substances of the product:
•    Top notes: these are the first notes, those you feel as soon as the product disperses in the air; fresh notes of citrus fruits or herbs;
•    Heart notes: these are the ones that will smell for several hours, it's the character of the perfume; powerful notes of flowers, fruits;
•    Base notes: these are the notes that will last for several days, that will remain; warm and powerful notes of wood, moss.

Fragrance Families

When we go to a perfumery, we are usually asked what kind of perfume we like: more floral, woody, amber, etc.

There are seven main fragrance families:
1.    Citrus aromas: composed of fruit peels: orange, bergamot, citron;
2.    Floral fragrances: composed mainly of flowers: jasmine, rose, violet;
3.    Fern aromas: woody notes, lavender, oakmoss;
4.    Chypre scents: accords of oakmoss, patchouli, bergamot;
5.    Woody aromas: warm notes of sandalwood, patchouli, cedar;
6.    Amber aromas: oriental, sweet, powdery fragrances with vanilla;
7.    Leather perfumes: composed of dry notes of tobacco, smoke, burnt wood.

It is possible to distinguish perfumes based on the nature of the fragrant compound.
•    Most often, it is in the form of essential oils, which are concentrates of volatile molecules from the plant. They are obtained by distillation.
•    There are also many perfumes made from so-called "absolute" plant raw materials. Like essential oils, they are found in alcoholic, oily, and solid perfumes.
•    The third type of fragrant compound relatively present in the perfume market corresponds to CO2 extracts, which allow obtaining an odor closer to the plant than its essential oil. CO2 extracts are 100% natural and very ecological.

It should be noted that, with the industrialization of perfume and the progress of chemistry, synthetic processes emerge that allow the production of artificial fragrant compounds. Synthetic smell is sometimes more faithful than that of natural raw material, as in the case of rose.
