about perfume information

Have you ever wondered if what you know about perfume information is accurate? Consider the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info on perfume information.

What, after all, is a perfume? Essential oils that are extracted from various plants form the base for a perfume. Remember the famous gold, frankincense and myrrh that the Three Wise Men carried to the baby Jesus? Frankincense was a fragrant resin of a tree that grew in East Africa that ancient people would burn for its scent like we burn candles for aromatherapy. Myrrh was also a gum resin that was obtained from the bark of a different tree from East Africa. One of the uses of myrrh in ancient days was to make perfume and an early form of toothpaste.

To make up for the high cost, many perfume makers water down their signature parfum versions and sell at a much lower price to a broader market of customers. However, the watered-down cheaper brands aren't nearly as long lasting as the true version.

Now that we've covered those aspects of perfume information, let's turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered.

There are several standard categories of perfume derivatives that are generally sold. The product closest to a perfume is called Eau de Parfum. "Eau" is the French word for water so this product is simply a true perfume mixed with extra water. Now a perfume company executive would cringe at this crude explanation but basically this is the translation of the name from the French. The next product down the list is an Eau de Toilette followed by an Eau de Cologne, known simply as "cologne". If the brand name of perfume is sold in all these categories, the perfume is the most expensive and the cologne should be the least expensive.

Since everyone's body chemistry is different, fragrances smell differently on different people. Scents don't have the same aroma since people's skin types are different. For example, dry skin doesn't hold scents as long. However, natural body oil will hold a fragrance longer since the perfume can blend with it easier. Before purchasing a perfume, it is always best to test it to determine how it blends with your body chemistry for a desired fragrance.

Is there really any information about perfume information that is nonessential? We all see things from different angles, so something relatively insignificant to one may be crucial to another.

perfume is a vaguely defined concept

When most people think of perfume information, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to perfume information than just the basics. The days have been turning darker and rainier over the past week, and today the first thing I noticed when I stepped outside was a scattering of golden leaves on the ground.

Although seasonality in perfume is a vaguely defined concept, it is enjoyable to switch one’s scented wardrobe in anticipation of a new season. For me, the soft florals (or aldehydic florals) and classical florals of the summer give way to the chypre and oriental compositions during the colder months.

Both chypres and orientals are comprised of notes that can give a warm sensation, such as the dry heat of patchouli in the former or the sensual richness of spices and resins in the latter.

Truthfully, the only difference between you and perfume information experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to perfume information.

Knowing enough about perfume information to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about this information, you should have nothing to worry about.
