Perfume Imitates Nature

Some perfumes use pheromones from the animal world. "Civetone", for example, comes from both male and female civet cats and musk comes from male musk oxen. Both pheromones are used to mark territory and to attract the attention of the opposite sex. Human urine has been found to contain a substance with a strong musk-like smell.

Men's urine contains twice as much of this substance as women's urine. The substance smells like a scent that women pay particular attention to during ovulation. There's a fatty acid in women's vaginal fluids that is similar to the sex attracting substances of other mammals.

A perfume's scent changes as time goes by. The reason is that certain scents in perfume evaporate at different stages. That's why the smells aren't all sensed at the same time. 

Perfume manufacturers divide the process into three phases: 

1) "The Main Scent" - the most fleeting substances that evaporate within an hour. 

2) "The Heart Scent" - less fleeting substances that last for almost 3 hours. 

3) "The Body of the Scent - the least fleeting substances that last up to 20 hours. 

How To Use Perfume

We use perfumes on our skin in so-called "warm spots" where blood flows near the skin giving away the warmth of our body outside. These spots work as small fragrance pumps.

They are situated on wrists, behind ears, in the inner part of elbows and knees, and on a neck near the collar-bone.

Perfumes will last longer on oily rather then dry skin. Therefore, before using perfumes we may use some Vaseline or oily cream.

Fragrances are more intense when it is warm. Therefore, in summertime you should either use less perfume or use the lighter fragrance.

Fruit fragrances

These fragrances are most often defined as fresh and light scents. They use the aromas of melon, lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, or orange blossom. The most popular fragrances of this type are: Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfinger (1996) and Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani (1995).

Floral fragrances

These fragrances are the most popular and they also cause the least controversy as for their reception by customers. Floral fragrances are designed either around the scent of only one flower, e.g. lily inDiorissimo by Dior (1956), or around the floral bouquet, e.g. Pleasuresby Estee Lauder (1995).

Information About Perfume

The fact that types of perfumes are so numerous may be astonishing. You may easily feel lost with so many new fragrances being introduced into the world market each year.

Although there is no officially confirmed division, each of the new fragrances possesses certain features which allow its categorization to one of the following groups:

• Floral fragrances
• Fruit fragrances
• Ocean perfumes
• Green fragrances
• Oriental perfumes
• Chypre fragrances

How To Choose Perfumes For Others

There are many things to consider when choosing perfumes for friends, siblings, boyfriends,girlfriends, husbands, wives or parents. We have to think about what the other person likes. We don't want to give a perfume that has a woody and musky scent when person loves floral and fruity scents! When we don't listen or pay attention to what others like, all we're doing is wasting our money on things that they don't even enjoy or like. I don't think that anyone wants to fall into this category.Therefore, let me give you some advice by listing some tips on choosing perfumes for others:

• Start by doing a research. What's that person's favorite color, flower, smell, style or celebrity? What's their personality like?
• Don't choose a perfume that smells good on you! Everyone's skin reacts differently when we apply perfume.
• Be very discrete. It will be wise to invite the person for perfume shopping and together test out perfumes and watch their reaction to what they like or dislike. Then you can surprise them with the perfume of their choice!
• You can ask the person what kind of perfume they like during a casual conversation.
• One of the scents that critics say that never fail are “fresh scents” since they smell like soap and clean air.

How To Choose a Perfume That Suits You...

Wearing perfume is meant to create an impression. You must want to smell nice and therefore be remembered because of this and not for the fact that your perfume is far too heavy or practically non-existent. Choosing the right perfume for you can be a battlefield but with a few hints and tips you should have no problems at all. 

You may not have the time to go around sniffing out loads of different perfume brands to find the one that you like the most but this is kind of an essential part of choosing the right perfume. You must have a good smell of a couple and one of the best things that you can do is to try one perfume every time you enter a perfume store. Spray it on your wrist and see how the fragrance changes throughout the day. Does it fade to practically nothing after just ten minutes or is it far too overpowering to wear? One thing that you must remember about this is that you need to go out without any perfume already on otherwise this will distort the smell of the ones that you are trying. 

Many of the big stores that sell perfumes will have assistants that know what they are doing when it comes to perfume so if you tell them exactly what it is that you are looking for, they will be able to pinpoint you in the right direction. A daytime fragrance should be a fruity one with citrus aromas within it whereas an evening scent will need muskier and perhaps vanilla notes. A shop assistant worth his or her job will know this and be able to educate you in finding the right perfume for you and your needs as well as your budgetary requirements.

Disadvantages of Designer Perfume

o They are mostly overpriced and expensive to buy

o Often over diluted making them very weak so that they don't last long

o Can be very overpowering when freshly applied and faded out in no time at all

o The strong initial when they are applied can induce headaches and migraines

o The alcohol in then can cause allergic reaction in some people

o They are also highly flammable due to their alcohol content

o Their shelf life can be shorter than that of perfume oils 

   because of evaporation

o Too much packaging are used, which not only affect the 

   cost of the perfume but also impact on the environment in a negative way

Advantages of Perfume oils

o They are long-lasting and roughly last 8 to 24 hours on the body 

o They are affordable and reasonably priced because you are not paying for excessive packaging or fillers 

o Has longer shelf-life span than perfumes 

o They are less likely to cause allergic reactions in customers with alcohol sensitivity 

o Have more intense, richer and constant scent than perfumes 

o Less likely to cause headaches because they are not overpowering 

o Unlike perfumes that contain alcohol, they are generally non-flammable 

Because of all the reason mentioned above, perfume lovers are able to easily build up a big collection of their favorite designer perfumes

Business Overview

Creating, packaging and distributing your own perfume line can make you rich. Developing your own perfume or perfume line will take some careful planning and research. However, the hard work could really pay off, especially if you can secure national accounts with well-recognized specialty retailers. In terms of the type of perfume your business develops, consider an all-natural approach to the ingredients, as all-natural products are the biggest trend right now. The perfume can be sold to retailers on a wholesale basis, directly to consumers via the internet, or by establishing a perfume sales kiosk set up in high-traffic community gathering places. For mail-order sales, advertise the perfume in specialty publications.
