Nano-perfumes refer to alcohol-free oil-in-water nanoemulsion perfume containing fragrance. Due to its favorable properties, nano-perfumes may appeal to a broader client base, including children and individuals with sensitive skin. This technology can provide an alternative solution to the low permanence of fragrances by eliminating ethanol and decreasing the amount of surfactant, co-surfactant, and solvents used in the formulation. However, relatively few studies have addressed and developed this technology to date. In this review, we examine several essential elements of nano-perfumes in order to raise some relevant questions regarding the future of this technology. The discussion focused on brief history of nano-perfumes, essential aspects of perfume, development of nanoemulsions in the cosmetics field, nano-perfume preparation methods, significant characteristics of nano-perfumes, as well as their problems and prospects.
