The figures elaborates on the mechanism of perfume production and how the oil is extracted thereby.
The process starts with heating the water. The steam coming out of the process is transferred along a tube to an enclosed vessel with aromatic plants inside. Variations of aromatic plants inside are essential in the formation of various scents. The steam coming out of the tube helps in the formation of oil vapor.
The amalgam of steam and oil vapor, thus, travels along a tube into a condenser with a spiral tube inside. The tube is spiral in nature in order for the mixture of steam and oil vapor to cool down further. Thus obtained mixture, which contains water with essential oils in it, is sent to a vessel containing a funnel turned upside down. This helps in separating out the aromatic water, also termed hydrolat, and the essential oil which is the final product required. As oil floats on hydrolat, the hydrolat sediments down which travels along a tube. Thus formed essential oil can be obtained from the tap in the vessel.
Overall, the process involves intricate details, and special care is to be given in order to extract the odor required.
