PAGINA 90 AND 91 TRADUCIR EL TEXTO

Perfume:
The essence of illusion
El perfume, dice Sophia Grojsman de Internation Flavours Fragrances, es una
promesa en una botella. Queremos ser más pequeños, más ricos y más felices
de lo que somos. Considere los nombres de las fragancias que compramos:
Joy, Dolce Vita, Pleasures, White diamonds, Beautiful. Vendemos esperanza,
dijo Charles, fundador de la compañía de cosméticos Revlon.
En términos de química, las fragancias son una mezcla de aceites aromáticos y
alcohol. Los fijadores, o aceites, que hacen que una fragancia dure mucho
tiempo, tradicionalmente provenían de animales. Estos han sido reemplazados
en su mayoría por productos químicos sintéticos. Los demás ingredientes
provienen de las plantas, especialmente de las flores.
El área alrededor de Grasse, Francia, es famosa por el cultivo de flores.
Agricultores como Joseph Mul han estado produciendo flores, incluidas rosas,
jazmines y lavanda durante siglos. El absoluto de rosa de Mul, el líquido
fragante que obtiene de sus rosas, se vende a 3.650 la libra. La recolección de
rosas nunca se hará a máquina, explica Mul. Las rosas se recogen
cuidadosamente a mano durante la madrugada. A las diez en punto, el calor
del sol comienza a afectar las flores, y los trabajadores han terminado el día. La
mano de obra es el 60 por ciento del costo, dice Mul.
El alto costo de los ingredientes naturales es solo una de las razones por las
que los perfumistas de hoy también usan ingredientes artificiales en sus
fragancias. Además, los sintéticos permiten a los perfumistas utilizar aromas
que no se pueden obtener de forma natural, por ejemplo, el aroma de la flor de
lila. Permiten el uso de esencias de flores raras o en peligro de extinción, y
evitan que los animales salvajes sean utilizados por su almizcle como una
especie de fijador. Según el perfumista Harry Fremont, una buena fragancia es
un equilibrio entre lo natural y lo sintético.
Una vez que los perfumistas han creado una fragancia encantadora, es hora de
que el departamento de marketing haga su magia. La industria gasta cientos de
millones de dólares cada año para convencer a la gente de que compre algo
que realmente no necesita. La tasa de éxito de los nuevos perfumes es baja,
solo uno de cada diez tiene éxito, por lo que gastar dinero en publicidad es un
gran riesgo. También es la única manera de dar a conocer al mundo una
fragancia tan encantadora que puede hacernos creer que nuestros sueños se
harán realidad.
