A Novel Development of Eco-Friendly Herbal Perfume Using Natural Floral Extracts

The present study focuses on the development of an eco-friendly herbal perfume using natural floral extracts obtained from rose, mogra, and night-blooming jasmine flowers. Synthetic perfumes often contain harmful chemicals that may cause skin irritation and environmental pollution. Therefore, herbal perfumes prepared from natural plant sources provide a safer and sustainable alternative. Floral extracts were prepared using solvent extraction and blended with natural fixatives and essential oils to enhance fragrance retention. The formulated perfume was evaluated for fragrance stability, skin compatibility, pH, appearance, and longevity. The developed herbal perfume exhibited a pleasant aroma, good stability, and minimal adverse effects, making it suitable for cosmetic and aromatherapy applications. Objective: The objective of this project was to develop an eco-friendly herbal perfume using natural floral extracts of Rose, Mogra, and Night-Blooming Jasmine as sustainable alternatives to synthetic perfumes. The study aimed to formulate a skin-friendly, biodegradable, and pleasant-smelling natural perfume with good fragrance retention and stability. MethodFresh flowers were collected and cleaned before extraction. The floral extracts were prepared using the solvent extraction method with ethanol. The obtained extracts were filtered and blended in suitable proportions with ethanol, glycerin, and sandalwood oil as a natural fixative. The prepared perfume was stored in amber- colored bottles for maturation. Evaluation tests such as odor, appearance, pH, stability, skin irritation, and fragrance longevity were carried out. Result The formulated herbal perfume showed a pleasant and refreshing floral aroma with good stability and fragrance retention. The perfume remained clear without phase separation during storage. The addition of sandalwood oil improved the lasting effect of the fragrance. Skin irritation tests indicated that the formulation was safe and suitable for topical application. Conclusion: The study successfully demonstrated that natural floral extracts can be effectively used to prepare an eco-friendly herbal perfume. The developed formulation was stable, skin compatible, biodegradable, and free from harmful synthetic chemicals. Therefore, the herbal perfume can be considered a sustainable and safe alternative to commercial synthetic perfumes
