In the UK, a perfume is a liquid with a pleasant smell, made from essential oils, fixatives, and solvents, used to give a desirable scent to the human body or surroundings. The term can also refer to the natural, pleasing smell itself, like the scent of roses. The word is pronounced /ˈpɜːfjuːm/ in the UK, with various forms of concentrated perfume, such as Eau de Parfum, containing different percentages of fragrance oil to create distinct scents.
