Early Use of Perfumes

There has always been a trade in scents and by the year 2008 perfume had become a $10 billion industry. Today women have fragrance wardrobes of at least six different perfumes, rather than a single signature perfume, keeping one special perfume for occasion moments.

People have used perfume, oils and unguents on their bodies for thousands of years in lesser or greater amounts dependant on fashion whims. The early Egyptians used perfumed balms as part of religious ceremonies and later as part of pre love making preparations. Myrrh and Frankincense were exuded gums from trees used to scent the atmosphere in rituals. Other plants such as rose and peppermint were steeped in oils until a perfumed unguent formed. The unguent was then rubbed into the skin. It’s interesting to note that perfume has come full circle today as more and more of us seek out high quality aromatherapy perfumed oils to use in exactly the same way as our ancestors did.

Products that enhance the feel of skin and the smell of the body have been highly valued in every culture. Trade routes introduced spices to other parts of the world and a wider range of scents could be made. In the past people often mixed their own potions using home methods creating their own aromatherapy products. Many homes had a still room where essences were steeped out of flowers and herbs.

Perfume fell out of use during early Christianity, but was revived in the medieval period. By the 1600s scents were applied to objects such as furniture, gloves and fans. In the Georgian Era non greasy eau de cologne was developed and it had many uses from bath essence to mouthwash.

Chemical Advances in Perfumery
The late 19th century was the first real era of perfume as we know it when new scents were created because of advances in organic chemistry knowledge. Synthetic perfume products were used in place of certain hard to find or expensive ingredients. At the same time a similar chemical knowledge development happened in textile printing dyes.

Grasse in Provence, France became a centre for flower and herb growing for the perfume industry. The men who treated leathers in the same area found the smells so bad they perfumed themselves and the leathers. They were knowledgeable about making the botanical essences and were the early perfume noses. But it was only in the C20th that scents and designer perfumes were really mass produced. Before that, the few trade names that existed were Coty and Yardley who made fairly light scents with familiar smells.

What Is Perfume Made From?
Perfume is made from about 78% to 95% of specially denatured ethyl alcohol and a remainder of essential oils.

Perfume is the costliest form of fragrance with 22% of essential oils.

Eau de Parfum (EDP), comes next with between 15 and 22% essential oils.

That’s followed by Eau de Toilette (EDT) with 8 to 15% oils.

The weaker Eau de Cologne has just 4% essential oils.

For those who crave super subtlety Eau Fraiche with 1 to 3% essential oils, is the lightest dilution of fragrance.

Many new perfumes are promoted as EDPs and an EDT is not always produced as there has been a vogue for Eau de Parfum as individuals want a more lasting signature.

There are major fragrance categories – Floral, Oriental, Floriental, Chypre, Green Marine and Fruit. Typical plant products include anise, bay leaf, bergamot, cardamom, cedar wood, eucalyptus, frankincense, gardenia, geranium, iris, jasmine, lavender, lemon, lilac, lily, lily of the valley, magnolia, moss, neroli, orange, orris, patchouli, pine, raspberry, rose, sage, sandalwood, tuberose, vanilla, violet and ylang-ylang.

The memory of a scent left by violets.

Typical animal products used in perfume include musk from the male musk deer, ambergris from sperm whales, castoreum a secretion of the beaver and civet from the civet cat. All are used as fixatives and add an indefinable mystery to the smell at the same time.

Tips for Wearing Perfume
When you apply perfumes apply them to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. Make sure you do not rub wrists together as this crushes the smell. Spraying a little into the air is also good if you walk straight into the perfume. This helps to diffuse it over your body. Do not simply apply to the neck always work up the body as the scent rises. Also consider wearing in your bra a small ball of perfume impregnated cotton wool.

Consider layering perfumes. Use all the same discount perfume in various products. Begin with shower or bath gel and then rub in body lotion or spray with a matching after bath spray. Finally apply the scent preferably as perfume or EDP. I find that the use of body lotion makes you feel really scented and it is probably to do with starting at the feet and applying the scent all over allowing the scent to rise. It also makes you feel extra special and very pampered.

Keep bottles tightly stopped, away from direct heat and out of sunlight. You will certainly know when they have gone off as you’ll notice that you do not get that lovely boost of heavenly scent when you spray or dab and the fragrance will look darker in the bottle. Some perfumes come in blue or opaque bottles and these store perfume well.

Try to choose perfumes that suit you, not your friends or family. Test a perfume in a store and then walk around for a minimum of ten minutes. Some perfumes take more like half an hour or an hour to truly develop. For example, Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood, Jicky by Guerlain and Must de Cartier are all ones I love after an hour, but am not convinced on first sniff.

Put a few drops of perfume onto an oil burner to scent your bedroom. At Christmas use musky oriental room fragrances in the form of perfumed incense sticks, candle or sprays to enhance the familiar associated yuletide seasonal smells of cinnamon, orange oil, pine, frankincense and myrrh.

Famous Early Perfumes – Chanel No 5
Ernest Beaux created Chanel No. 5 for Coco Chanel in 1921. It has a floral top note of ylang-ylang and neroli, with a heart of blends of jasmine and rose all above a woody base of sandalwood and vetiver. Chanel believed women should wear perfume wherever they hoped to be kissed. Today Chanel No.5 sells a bottle every 30 seconds.

In recent years Chanel No. 5 has been marketed as a spray with two refills in an effort to have it recognised as an essential everyday finishing touch rather than a precious scent to be used sparingly.

Right – The hypnotic scent of roses.

One of my favourites is Guerlain’s Shalimar launched first in 1925 and relaunched in 2001. It’s a refined oriental feminine fragrance with iris, vanilla, and rose. It has the wonderful Guerlain quality that never dates and always gets compliments. I still think it’s one of the very best Guerlain perfumes. They are all particularly wonderful and each seems to develop with the individual. Maybe it really is because the secret ingredient called Guerlinade the X factor that is added to every new perfume bearing the Guerlain name, makes it smell like a truly sense hitting perfume unlike later unisex creations.

In 1932 Dana made the exotic Tabu, Worth made the memorable Je Reviens which remained popular in the 50s and 60s and in 1934 Elizabeth Arden developed Blue Grass. All are still sold today. Later Molyneux and Schiaparelli and other designers produced exotic perfumes in direct competition with Chanel. Jean Patou launched Joy in 1935 and it was voted Scent of the 20th Century at the Fragrance Foundation FiFi awards 2000.

1944 saw the introduction of Femme by Rochas. After the war lighter fresher perfumes by Dior and Balmain which could be worn easily by day became more and more popular with the middle classes. In 1947 Dior launched the ever popular Miss Dior. I still love these older perfumes such as Miss Dior and the wonderful lily Diorissimo.

Scents for Everyone
At this time the working classes still rarely used anything more exotic than the very early scents or the new perfumes produced by cosmetic houses rather than fashion design house couturiers.

Some of the less costly perfumes had quite pleasing scents, but they had none of the cachet of Couture house names. Everyday prices meant that the ordinary person could afford to buy a perfume gift from ranges by Coty, Yardley, Max Factor and Revlon and not break the bank.

Max Factor’s Hypnotique and Primitif were very popular in the 1950s as was Tweed by Lentheric, and Coty’s L’Aimant. Revlon scored great success with Intimate and Aquamarine. Intimate is still available on some Internet sites. Yardley’s Lily of the Valley or French Fern bath salts and talc were always to be found in the Christmas stockings of the masses of working folk.

Goya also produced scents in a price conscious range. Goya’s Black Rose and Here’s My Heart featured regularly in full page adverts. Many people still used 4711 Eau de Cologne, with its clean fresh smell.

A 4711 roll on stick was especially popular for summer heat perspiration before air conditioning.

From Woolworth’s young teenagers bought Soir de Paris by Bourjois in its small blue bottle. They delighted in translating the French into Evening in Paris.
Right – The ever popular rose and lilies of the valley.

Perfume to the Masses
Throughout the 1960s ordinary people began to buy perfume in quantity. People who had never been abroad before began to spend time browsing in perfume stores and buy perfume in duty free shops. They came home with bottles of Madame Rochas, Worth’s Je Reviens, Carven’s Ma Griffe, Arpège by Lanvin, Houbigant’s Chantilly, Guerlain’s Mitsouko and L’Heure Bleu, Calèche by Hermes, Sortilege, Ecusson and Estee Lauder’s Youth Dew.

Yves St. Laurent launched Y in 1964, Rive Gauche in 1968. Guy Laroche presented Fidji in 1966. Those old favourites Chanel No.5 and Miss Dior were still best sellers with considerable competition from products like Avon’s perfume’s such as Topaze, Coty’s Imprevu and in total contrast, Faberge’s earthy daytime Woodhue. TO TOP OF PAGE

Perfumes for the 1970s
By 1977 Yves St. Laurent had put ‘Opium’ perfume into production and it was a huge huge success with women everywhere. It was definitely a perfume for sultry evenings. By contrast women enjoyed wearing perfumes like Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps and Nina Ricci’s orange based Bigarade was popular for a while. Ô de Lancôme, Lauder’s Cinnabar, and Anais Anais by Cacharel in 1978 (the latter beloved by schoolgirls) were all well received.

Revlon’s Charlie was a top seller and the trouser wearing woman who wore it was portrayed as a woman at ease with herself at work and play. Avon perfumes were also popular as they were affordable, but interesting coming in huge sprays to dainty containers for perfumed wrist creams. Max Factor’s Maxi was in a similar affordable everyday price range.

Various musk based oils and scents at quite low prices flooded chemists shops. Aviance Night Musk by Prince Matchabelli was popular and affordable.

1980 Power Perfumes Match Power Dressers
New designer scents were marketed fiercely in the 80s and for the first time ever, blatant erotic advertising which generated enormous attention from the media led to the success of the 1985 Obsession campaign from Calvin Klein. Obsession with its heavy smell of vanilla was dominant in the market.

It was equally impossible to open a magazine or Sunday supplement without being overwhelmed by the scent of Giorgio Beverley Hills on a yellow and white striped sample strip. Eventually Giorgio was banned from restaurants because the smell was too dominant over food aromas.

Image and a gimmick were a specialty of the 1980s and Jean Paul Gaultier put a perfume in a glass torso in a tin and continued to produce limited editions and variations of the designer package. Vanderbilt a refined oriental of carnation, rose and mimosa was put on the market in 1982 and was one of the more affordable & attractive perfume products. Lou Lou launched in 1987 was a refreshing subtle change from the more oppressive oriental scents.
Right – The intoxication of the heavy scent of lilies.

Some scents of the era like Yves St Laurent’s wonderful rose with violets in Paris have become true classics. Sultry sirens found Givenchy’s Ysatis and Guerlain’s 1989 Samsara hard to beat. Champagne the perfume caused a court case in the champagne making industry and was eventually taken off the market under that name. It is now sold in similar packaging, but as Yvresse.

Fresher Marine Green 1990s and New Millennium Perfumes
The 1990s saw a whole new range of cleaner sharper scents which probably began with Estee Lauder’s White Linen from the 1980s. Perfumes such as L’Eau d’Issey by Issey Miyake in 1992, Eternity and Dazzling all have a crisper scent. One refreshing oriental fragrance was Sun Moon Stars by Lagerfeld in 1994 and the earlier 1990 Safari by Ralph Lauren was set in one of the prettiest bottles to grace a dressing table. Organza by Givenchy in a great bottle, launched in 1996 has the smell of a long lost much loved scent and was in competition with the now very popular Allure from Chanel launched the same year.

TO TOP OF PAGE

The century ended with softer scents such as Cristobal by Balenciaga or unisex perfumes such as CK One popular with urban fashion followers. In 1999 Cacharel launched Noa Noa. Now renamed simply Noa it is a rounded floral oriental that smells divine. New perfumes of the millennium include the lovely Kenzo Flower, Guerlain’s Mahora, Calvin Klein’s Truth, Rossellini’s Manifesto, Lancôme’s Miracle, Boucheron’s Initial, YSL’s Nu, Michaels Kor’s Michael, Nina Ricci’s Premier Jour and Vivienne Westwood’s exotic tempting Boudoir.

Myths
A great deal of snobbery surrounds perfumes and they are often only considered worthwhile initially if expensive and very exclusive. But the consumer is not stupid however much the hype. If a scent smells unattractive on the individual the consumer will not buy it. The selection of perfumes that do smell wonderful is so great that no one has to wear the latest designer perfume if they hate the smell. Whilst many perfumes do succeed, just as many do not. The perfume has to be good and marketed properly to recoup initial development costs. Launching a new perfume costs between a half and a million pounds, so the scent has to match the mood of the era.

The $10 billion market place is so overcrowded that to keep up with the consumer’s desire for new scents and still keep mystique and a measure of exclusivity, design houses such as Dior, Guerlain and Lancôme are now producing limited edition perfumes for a few months only with bottles destined to become designer items. In 2001 Dior’s limited edition perfume was called Remember Me, a lily fragrance.

There is already a bottle collectors Internet trade for scent bottles with or without perfume.

A great many individuals are now seeking out classic perfumes or specially blended oils. A classic is a perfume that has lasted a minimum of ten years and grown to be much loved.

Some people also find that they sneeze quite violently when they wear modern perfumes. I include myself in this category and I’ve found that wearing the older perfumes designed more than 50 years ago seems to reduce the sneezing. It’s also wonderful to rediscover some of the older perfumes and sense their depth, special individual quality and difference from the scents of today. If only manufacturers would stop tinkering with old favourites.

This may be why many have gone back to purchasing 100% alcohol free perfume oils and mixing their own scents. You can get high quality oils from All Natural Perfume Oils online.

Lost Perfumes
There is quite a bit of Internet activity of web surfers seeking perfumes either no longer in production or not sold in some countries. It is hard for the consumer to understand why manufacturers remove perfumes without warning, but their reason for being is profit. If the profit margin does not meet their ideal they ditch a discount perfume regardless of diehard fans.

Lancôme’s wonderful original version of Magie was called Magie Mist. How I wish they would bring the original Magie Mist back, so much more feminine, pretty, softer, rounder and more memorable than the revamped version called Magie Noir that makes me sneeze.

But manufacturers are in the game of making profits and if sales are slowing they either withdraw the item or relaunch it as a new formula thought to be more in keeping with the mood of an era. Two recent examples of this are Ô de Lancôme and Yves St Laurent’s Opium, both of which have been updated in 2000-1. If you want the old versions get a stock in now. Venezia and Cacharel’s Lou Lou have also been withdrawn not so long ago, so if you see it and like it, get it in.

Always buy perfumes from reputable dealers when using the Internet for your purchases.

Founded in 1932, Nina Ricci has remained one of the most prestigious fashion houses in all of France. Madame Ricci established it along with her son, Robert, when they decided that setting up their own haute couture house was a lucrative business idea with many opportunities. Madame Ricci took the role of a fashion designer, while Robert was the one who handled the business, including the finances.

They started working with fabrics, creating their own lines of feminine designs. After a few months from inception, their business grew under the name Nina Ricci, already known to the fashion industry as one of the best producers of romantic and refined fashion pieces.

The success of Nina Ricci can be attributed much to Robert’s effort. In 1945, he came up with the idea of exhibiting the best dresses ever made. With the help of the President of the Chamber, Lucien Lelong, Robert was able to dress more than a hundred mannequins from forty prestigious couturiers in the whole of France.

Madame Gres and Balenciaga were even included in that exhibition held in Louvre, Paris. This fashion showcase is what allowed the designs of Nina Ricci to reach other areas of Europe and even the United States.

After a few years of success, Nina Ricci began offering a line of luxury perfumes for the affluent. Robert was the creator of these fragrances, and he created this new line of products just to cope with the company’s expansion.

The first perfume made by him was named Coeur Jolie, and this was followed by another, the L’Air du Temps. This latter fragrance is the one considered by most consumers as the most delicate. It even remains as Nina Ricci’s top seller until these days.

The Coeur Jolie, on its first release, was valued not just for the delicate scent it emits but also for the great packaging that Nina Ricci has made. The perfume was contained in a crystal bottle that is frosted. The bottle was crafted by Marc Lalique and it features illustrations made by Christian BZrard.

This fragrance is made of sweet smelling flowers, the one that sets Nina Ricci apart from the rest of France’s creative perfumery. The L’Air du Temps, which means “mood of the times”, became France’s most classic perfume product ever created.

In 1959, new designs emerged then bringing Nina Ricci to new heights. The house acquired an international honor mainly for the success of one of its new collections, the Jules-Francois Crahay. This line was consolidated a few years after by GZrard Pipart, who took the new management over the haute couture studio in the year 1964. That same year, the L’Air du Temps was distributed and marketed not just in the whole Paris, but also in the major markets in the United States and Japan.

The perfumes of Nina Ricci continued to develop even after the death of Madame Ricci in 1970. The company was then considered as the leading exporter of fragrances in France. The production was even increased with the establishment of Ury Perfume Production Center where the known Farouche perfume was formulated. The company made several other fragrances, and this production is expected to increase with more and more people and technologies now being used for better results.

Alfred Dunhill Perfume is very democratic in world acculturation so much so that its uses and lotions cover to elaborate. Alfred Dunhill fragrances acquainted beneath the Dunhill brand name are constructed. Alfred Dunhill was born in London in 1872. Alfred Dunhill has metamorphosed the underlying tones of masculinity, cleverness, and Englishness into a coeval position which is applicable to an international people. He also made Alfred Dunhill Pink perfume for women. In accession to colognes and perfume designer Alfred Dunhill also produced deodorant, after shave, and body wash fragrances for men.

He designed healthy skin constructs for a great assimilation of the alcohol & oils found in odors to defend your skin while using moisturizers found in your Skincare or Bath & Body line.

Apropos it is a blend of contents made from a compounding of plant oils, synthetic materials, essences, extracts of flowers, and other natural sources. That is the mystery of sexual attractive force. It is a cologne constitution that necessitates about three to five percent fragrance oils.

Are you looking for a good discount women’s perfume? Despite what the snobs may say, they do exist. For a list of the best perfumes for under $30, keep reading.

Stetson

Admittedly, Stetson is not a women’s perfume, but it could be. Though the well-known drugstore cologne is made for men, the bold fragrance blend of lavender, lemon, bergamot, jasmine, tonka, sandalwood and patchouli make it a great candidate for a deep and permeating feminine scent.

For less than $10 a bottle, it’s both refreshing, but also deep – offering up vanilla tones and lemon high notes with every inhale. However, it doesn’t remain for long. Like many cheap perfumes, this one only lasts about 30 minutes on skin, though the smell will linger when sprayed on clothing.

Maurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Fragrance

In 1938, Tabac soap was first made. The product was so successful that its German manufacturers started making the Tabac Original Soap in 1955. Today, Tabac Original is still sold on European and North American drug store shelves and for under $20 a bottle, it’s definitely a discount fragrance.

Despite its low cost and poor packaging, Tabac is a scent that both lingers and changes. The first notes are bold with scents of lavender, sandalwood, carnation, oak wood, bergamot and black pepper. And yet, it’s still clean and fresh. That may be the aldehydes coming through. And though it’s a discount brand, Tabac wins top points for being long-lasting. The fragrance will stay for hours, lingering as a touch of cloves and vanilla musk.

Avon’s Soft Touch Perfume

It may only cost $15 a bottle, but Soft Touch by Avon is an incredibly long-lasting perfume that’s both innocent and fresh at the same time. While so many scents that came out in this mid-nineties era of soft pink discount women’s perfume simply reeked of baby powder and mineral oil, Soft Touch has floral undertones and somehow, a splash of sophistication. Surprisingly, it’s also long-lasting.

Philosophy Cosmetic’s Amazing Grace

At only $25 a bottle, Amazing Grace is a steal. The product was launched by Philosophy cosmetics and was so popular, it quickly expanded into a whole line of body washes, powders, creams and more. Customers couldn’t get enough of this beautiful scent, and for good reason.

Amazing Grace smells clean, which is probably the best way to describe it. It doesn’t smell like rubbing alcohol or bleach clean, just clean – like fresh sheets. The notes are there, but they’re never overpowering, making this a wonderful discount women’s perfume for everyday wear.

I bet the odds are that Ralph Lauren does not wear anything from his own range of fragrances. Why? Some scents are more suitable for women than they are for men. Menthol, saddle leather and cigar smoke are usually smells associated with masculinity. Did you ever try your Dad’s aftershave as a little girl? Bet it made you sick! The body chemistry between the sexes basically determines what kind of scent smells best.

Some Specifics

Ralph Lauren is the same name that is behind all the high priced, designer label clothes. Ralph was not content knocking out overpriced colored jeans. He needed a way to get inside women’s pant, or rather pockets, where the credit cards were hiding!

Ralph Lauren’s range of perfumes are available in a variety of fragrances because the world is full of a wide variety of women. You could never encompass all the moods, emotions and situations a woman could find herself in with just one perfume scent. Ralph has attempted to capture all these moods in his vast range with fragrance like Glamorous, Glamorous Daylight, Lauren, Romance, Polo Sport, Turquoise, Cool, Ralph Rocks, Hot and Safari. Notice how there seems to be something for everyone, something to suit your every mood and own personal body chemistry.

Getting Your Hands On Ralph Lauren

Ralph’s range of perfumes seems to be available everywhere from your high end cosmetic shop to bargain basement shops and Wal-Mart. It’s also available from many websites. The only problem with buying online is that until they invent smell-internet you can’t try out the perfumes. Best thing to do is browse your department stores and try out the testers. Once you find something you like and have beaten off the high pressure sales girls and grappled with a few gay cosmetic sales assistants (you know which one I mean), rush home and make your purchase online. You can save yourself a tidy sum by shopping this way.

Getting A Good Deal Online

Ralph Lauren perfume is usually expensive but that’s the price you are going to have to pay for a designer perfume. We have found that the cheapest place is usually ebay. Before making your purchase checkout the seller and see what feedback they have. Make sure other purchasers rate them well and they are selling legitimate Ralph Lauren. As with most designer products there are a lot of rip off copies around.

Always try to make your purchase with Paypal. That way if you find yourself unhappy with the product you have some kind of protection and can get your money reimbursed. Also pay attention to the shipping costs. It’s not uncommon for some sellers to be overseas and whilst the perfume may be cheaply priced you can get stung on the amount you will pay in shipping.

Creating a sensual appeal…wearing an invisible yet alluring “second skin” comprised of exotic scent captured in perfumes and men’s fragrances continues to push the olfactory and poetic edges. How can you gain this aromatic and romantic edge and what should you look for?

Tip #1 – Choosing The Perfect Women’s Perfumes Eau de Toilette And Fragrances. Going to work…or going to a formal engagement? Are you young and experimental or mature and established? There’s always a woman’s fragrance that matches your skin chemistry, your outfit, the occasion and even your mood.

* Top Notes. Women’s fragrances combine scent chemistry into three distinct perfume “notes”…the top note scent is the 1st impression scent which often includes light, sharp or sweet essences such as ylang-ylang, neroli and aldehydes found in one of the first modern-era perfumes, Chanel No.5. When the top notes melt away after the first hour or so, the middle notes and bass notes dominate the scent structure.

* Middle Notes. While international favorite Chanel No.5 uses ylang-ylang in its top note, slightly “heavier” women’s perfumes like Angel by Thiery Mugler incorporate ylang-ylang into the middle note structure, along with jasmine, white gardenia (think Billy Holiday), magnolia and Moroccan rose.

* Bass Notes. For all the exotic and sophisticated impression created by the middle and top notes, the top women’s perfumes balance their entire scent strategy upon the strength, and complexity, of the bass notes or scent foundation. Strength…lasting scent and potency over 3 to 9 hours…all can evolve from the perfume foundation bass notes such as vetiver, amber, musk, sandalwood, vanilla and occasionally light derivatives from the men’s fragrance world including rosewood, tonka bean.

Tip #2 – Selecting Masculine Men’s Fragrances For Complexity, Earthiness, Tang. Men’s fragrance, cologne and even full bodied perfumes are known to be earthy, dark…evoking masculine strength and staying power. But what do you look for?

* Avoid Light, Fruity Feminine Scents. First clue is to avoid the sweet, flowery essences. Instead, look for men’s fragrance that carries solid bass notes such as Chanel Egoiste, the 2006 award winner for men, offering a rich warm subdued bass note blend of vanilla, sandalwood and rosewood in a subtle wood-Oriental. Or, take a deeper step into the masculine scent world with a mix of bass notes of tobacco, capiscum, nutmeg, pepper, tonka bean…supporting middle notes of vetiver and cedar…and then throw in a splash of top note bergamot, lemon, coriander and neroli as designed into Vetiver by Guerlain.

Tip #3 – Re-Discover The Old Tested ‘Favorite’ Perfumes Plus New Scents. Older established brands continue to “rock”…offering mood-altering sensuality, variations on strength and intensity as you move between full-bodies perfume and the lighter eau de toilettes. One-time hits…frilly youth-market perfumes…rarely survive the ‘long haul’ of brand building which the established perfume and fashion houses can best handle.

Tip #4 – Online Versus Department Store. If you don’t know or haven’t worn a particular fragrance, then you must try it on..live, in a store.

* Sample Selectively. Make sure never to try more than three perfumes during a shopping visit. Your nose will give-up, leaving you unable to distinguish the scents clearly.

* Consult Your Fragrance Sales Clerk. Also, remember that what you initially smell…namely the top notes…is the first part of the perfume that dissolves due to the normal ‘lifting’ of perfume by the air around you. So, to determine strength as well as the core scent of any perfume, you need to ask your sales clerk about each brand…what are its middle notes and bass notes…its strength measured in hours. And also describe how you intend to “normally” wear your perfume…on-the-job fragrances are not the same as formal night wear perfumes.

* The Online Re-Order Strategy. Once you know your favorite brands, then you’re set to search the Internet for the best perfume prices, seasonal sell downs, inventory clearances. Go to industry awards sites and learn about the most popular, most exotic award winning fragrances, perfumes and men’s colognes too.

Fragrance Bottom Line. With women’s perfume and men’s fragrances, you get what you pay for. There’s a world of subtle, mood altering and sensuous fragrances that can lift your sprit, complement your style, and increase your life’s romance.
