How is a fragrance born? 
A fragrance is a combination of different scents, which wisely combined, gives rise to a perfect harmony.
Bio Happy perfumes were born in Grasse, from the craftsmanship of Expressions Parfumées, a French company that for decades has been working in the field of fine and luxury perfumery. The fragrances are formulated with 100% natural and organic certified raw materials such as essential oils or their agents obtained only by physical methods such as distillation, cold pressing or extraction.

The "noses" that create the Bio Happy fragrances
The creation of a fragrance is not merely mixing several components.
It is a true art in itself, in which personal experience and sensitivity of each "nose" expert play a key role.
"Nose" is the term commonly used for a perfumer, an expert who creates fragrances. This term clearly expresses how important olfactory qualities are for a perfumer, in particular the ability to recognise and recall smells. A perfumer, like an artist, imagines in his mind the olfactory result he wants to obtain before he selects and mixes the components that will create the fragrance.

What is an olfactory pyramid?
The olfactory pyramid is a representation of how a fragrance is sensed with respect of time.
It consists of 3 theoretical plans based on persistence and speed of evaporation, called "notes":
- Top notes: they are perceived immediately upon application of a perfume and usually last a few minutes. They are citrus, herbs and marine notes. They are fragrances that stimulate the sense of smell and are very important in the selling of a perfume.
- Heart notes: they are very powerful and consistent; they give the fragrance its final character. They are perceived after a few minutes, and are usually fruity and floral notes. They determine the "trail" of the fragrance.
- Base notes: they are the characteristic notes of great persistence, evaporate slowly and therefore can be perceived for a long time. Woody, leather, amber, musk, balsamic, oriental, vanilla notes are a few examples of base notes.
