English term
fragrance
Ces senteurs sont extraites d'une molécule d'origine (fragrance en anglais), est-il préférable de traduire par fragrance ou 'parfum' qui serait le produit d'origine des fragrances ou bien est-ce l'inverse ?
Je trouve que l'utilisation du mot parfum est plutôt réservé à l'extrait de rose ou de muguet ou autres vendu dans les parfumeries. Dans mon texte en anglais, le mot fragrance apparaît tout le temps, mais jamais perfume.
D'avance, merci pour votre avis.

Non-PRO (2): Cyril Tollari, GILLES MEUNIER
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I have a personal loathing for the word "fragrance", ever since a student temp job in a household chemical products marketing department.

Je suis d'accord, cela me donne également cette notion de "chimique" non adapté pour vendre un produit.
