Lerili — Perfume Concentration Guide | lerili.com
Two artefacts anchor the craft: a 300 m² ancient factory with at least 60 stills, and a medieval text listing 107 recipes.
An ancient perfumery uncovered was a 300-square-metre (3,230 sq ft) factory holding at least 60 stills, mixing bowls, funnels and perfume bottles. The floor plan alone shows production at industrial scale, not household craft.
A medieval text described 107 methods and recipes for perfume-making and the equipment used for it. One compilation carried more than a hundred distinct procedures, each tied to specific apparatus.
On narrow screens, swipe or scroll the plate sideways.
The equipment lists in both artefacts — stills, mixing bowls, funnels, bottles — are the same categories of tool that separate aromatic compounds from raw material and dilute them to a target strength.
Modern concentration classes are the downstream result of that equipment: parfum at 15–30%, eau de parfum at 15–20%, eau de toilette at 5–15% are bands on the dilution step those stills performed.
