Over the centuries there have been many different sources used to create various perfumes. The first and still predominant source is the many plants used to create the essential oils and aromatics. There are many parts of a plant that can be used to get different fragrant compounds and in some cases one type of plant can produce more than one.

These include the bark, such as used with cinnamon essences. Flowers and blossoms are perhaps the largest source of aromatics and include rose and jasmine as well as the blossoms of citrus trees. Leaves and twigs sometimes bring a green smell to perfumes they are used in and these include lavender, patchouli, and sage. Resins are also commonly used and include frankincense, myrrh, and gum benzoin. Roots, such as vetiver roots and various seeds such as anise, caraway, and nutmeg are also common perfume ingredients.

As a base, different types of woods such as sandalwood, birch, cedar wood, and rosewood are used, providing the necessary wood oils and distillates to add other essences onto.

Unfortunately, in many cases, fresh fruit does not yield the desired scent when processed, thus apple scents for example are synthetic. Orange and other citrus fruits however do give a good aromatic from the rind when processed however and are commonly used.
