"FRAGRANCE, THY SCENT OF WOMAN''!

, “SOME PERFUMES ENTHRAL FOREVER WHILE OTHERS FADE AWAY VERY FAST DESPITE THEIR SWEET FLORAL NOTES.

SOME ARE ELEGANT, OTHERS STRONG,EVEN AGGRESSIVE”!
WHATEVER THIS POET MEANS, I KNOW THAT ONE CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PERFUME. I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PERFUMES BUT KNEW PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THEM. TO EXPLORE, I DID NOT HESITATE TO ASK SOME EXPERTS, MOSTLY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHOSE FRAGRANCE ALWAYS LINGERS WHENEVER THEY MOVED AROUND. THE AROMA COMING FROM A DISTANCE COULD TELL THE SIGNATURE PERFUME WORN BY THESE FASHIONABLE, ELEGANT AND EXTREMELY GOOD LOOKING LADIES. IT SEEMS THAT A PERFUME HAS A MAGICAL LINK TO OUR EMOTIONS. WE CHOOSE DIFFERENT FRAGRANCES TO SUIT DIFFERENT MOODS. I BELIEVE PERFUME IS A POWERFUL APHRODISIAC WITH MYSTICAL POWERS, AND THE FRAGRANCE IS A FEEL OF YOUR PERSONALITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT ONE HAS TO BE CREATIVE TO WEAR PERFUME, IN WINTERS WE CAN GO WILD, HOWEVER IN HOT SUMMERS, ONE HAS TO RESTRAIN THE USE TO MINIMUM AND THE REST IS DONE BY THE BODY HEAT. EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO PERFUMES, GOD IS DIFINITELY BIASED TOWARDS WOMEN. MEN ARE ENVIOUS OF THE FACT THAT WOMEN HAVE A LARGE OF PERFUMES TO SUIT ANY OCASSION. ALL THAT THE MEN COULD DO IS TO COMPROMISE AND ENJOY THE FRAGRANCE OF THE WOMEN.

SO DEAR FRIENDS LET US SEE CATEGORIES OF PERFUMES WHICH ARE ALWAYS IN VOGUE. EACH PERFUME HAS A DISTINCT CHARACTER DESIGNED TO STRIKE THE RIGHT CHORDS IN THE EMOTIONS OF THE WEARER AND THOSE WHO BECOME AWARE OF HER SCENT. EACH PERFUME IGNITES AN EXPERIENCE BY ITSELF.AND TO SELECT A RIGHT PERFUME THAT SERVES AS A SIGNATURE FOR ONESELF, ONE HAS TO LEARN TO FEEL IT, HEAR IT AND CARESS IT.”

ALL PERFUMES FALL INTO THE FOLLOWING BASIC “FAMILIES” OF SCENT:
CITRUS PERFUMES ARE SPARKLING, SOPHISTICATED, CLEAR AND CONTAIN ESSENCES OF LEMONS, ORANGES, PETIT-GRAINT, TANGERINES. THE CITRUS FAMILY IS SMALL AND INCLUDES FRAGRANCES LIKE DIORELLA, CRISTALLE, ENGLISH FINE COLOGNE.

SINGLE FLORALS ARE THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT CATEGORY OF PERFUMES, INVOKING THE PRESENCE OF ONE KIND OF FLOWER, BE IT ROSE, JASMINE, GARDENIA OR LILY OF THE VALLEY. SOME POPULAR SINGLE FLORALS ARE DIORISSIMO, WHITE LINEN, TEA ROSE, CHLOE, AND JONTUE.

FLORALS ARE REMINISCENT OR A BOUGUET OF RESHLY-PICKED FLOWERS OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES. NO SINGLE SCENT PREDOMINATES IN THESE FRAGRANCES. FLORAL BOUGUETS INCLUDE FIDJI, ANAIS, BEAUTIFUL, JOY, CHARLIE, ARMANI, L’AIR DU TEMPS. FLORAL PERFUMES ARE SAID TO EVOKE SOFTNESS, BEAUTY AND ROMANTICISM IN A WOMAN.

SOFT FLORALS ARE FLORAL PERFUMES MUTED BY THE PRESENCE OF A SYNTHETIC ALDEHYDE WHICH GIVES A SOFTER, ROUNDER, POWDERY SCENT TO THE PERFUME. ONE OF THE CLASSICS IN THIS CATEGORY IS CHANEL NO.5. OTHER SOFT FLORALS INCLUDE CHANEL NO.19, JE REVIENS, CALECHE, RIVE GAUCHE.

GREENS ARE DISTINCTIVE, MODERN, ALMOST BITTER-SWEET, LIKE FRESH LEAVES BEING CRUSHED BY YOUR FINGERTIPS. THERE ARE NOT MANY GREENS AND THEY INCLUDE ALLIAGE, SILENCES,EAU D’AZZARAO.

LEATHERS SOUND MASCULINE BUT THESE FRAGRANCES HAVE A DRY, YET DELICATE AROMA,LIKE THE FINEST OF SUPPLE LEATHER AS IT GENTLY WARMS AGAINST YOUR SKIN. TRY MYSTIQUE,GEMINESSE.

CHYPRES (NAMED AFTER THE ISLAND OF CYPRUS) ARE DARK, MYSTERIOUS, AND WOODY, LIKE LUXURIANT FERNS IN A SHADOWY FOREST, A FEELING AKIN TO OPENING A SANDALWOOD BOX. CHYPRES ARE SENSUAL, SUBTLE AND INCLUDE MISS DIOR, CACHET, CIAO, AZZARO.

SOFT ORIENTALS, POPULAR AND MODERN, ARE MADE FROM SPICES (CINNAMON, CLOVES…) AND RESINS SUCH AS BALSAM, WITH A TOUCH OF INCENSE. THE VOLUPTUOUS FRAGRANCES INCLUDE CINNABAR, COCO, DIORESSENCE,OPIUM, POISON, AND MAGIE NOIRE.

ORIENTALS ARE THE BIG BRASS BANDS OF PERFUMES – VERY RICH, SPICY, RESINOUS, MUSKY, SEDUCTIVE, POWERFUL AND INTOXICATING. THE SENSUOUS ORIENTALS INCLUDE SHALIMAR, CHANTILY, JICKY, AND CIARA.

THERE ARE SOME WONDERFUL WAYS OF WEARING PERFUMES TO SCENT UP YOUR LIFE:
LIGHTLY PERFUME A HANKIE OR COTTON BALL AND STUFF IT INTO YOUR POCKET.
SPRAY EAU-DE-TOILETTE IN AIR AND TWIRL IN THE MIST. MOLECULES WILL SETTLE ALL OVER THE BODY AND CLOTHING.
USE THE SAME FRAGRANCE BOTH IN BATH AND BODY PRODUCTS. LAYER THE FRAGRANCE---IT’LL LAST & LAST.
BEST TIME TO APPLY IS RIGHT AFTER A BATH. OPEN PORES SOAK UP THE AROMA.
HAIR IS A TERRIFIC MEDIA---MIX A FEW DROPS OF THE ESSENCE WITH LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER.
MIST WHOLE BODY WITH EAU-DE-TOILETTE, THEN REINFORCE WITH REAL PERFUME JUST ON PULSE POINT.
