HOME / FRAGRANCE, PERFUMING & COLORANT AGENTS / PARFUM

Parfum is a term for ingredient labelling used to identify that a product contains a material or a combination of materials normally added to a cosmetic to produce or to mask a particular odour. According to Article 19 of the Cosmetics Regulation, 'Perfume and aromatic compositions and their raw materials shall be referred to by the terms ‘parfum’ or ‘aroma’. '

PARFUM is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Fragrance, Perfuming. CosIng records no CAS number for it, so the column is NULL rather than guessed. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 118 product labels, reaching position 3 on Fresh Deo Zerstäuber.
