Womens Perfume – Angel Perfume Review

October 16th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Thierry Mugler’s Angel is in many ways the Marmite of the perfume world. That’s right, you either love it or loathe it. But whichever camp you’re in, the scent will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. In addition if you’re a fan of Thierry Mugler’s Alien perfume, Kylie Minogue’s Sexy Darling or Britney Spears Fantasy, then Angel will also be right up your street.

It is cutesy, girlie and bordering on sickly sweet, but it still remains one of Mugler’s best-selling scents. It is also distinctive, ultra feminine and you only need one squirt. So powerful is the scent that one spritz is easily enough, so it’s kind to the bank balance, too.

Described as an ethereal, heady blend combining hints of ripe berries, citrus, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, honey, sandalwood and patchouli. With strong oriental, spicy notes the Angel perfume is long lasting and intense – perfect for a day at work or an evening out.

The Composition of Most Perfume Blends

October 16th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Perfume may come in small bottles, but that doesn’t mean that the fragrance isn’t complex. Perfume actually refers to any type of fragrance, including cologne, but modern terminology separates men’s cologne and women’s perfume. Essentially, all types of fragrances ranging from proper perfumes to aftershaves consist of various perfume oils diluted with a solvent like ethanol. Overall, any fragrance is a composition of essential oils, aromas, fixatives, and a solvent, with ethanol being the most common.

The most pungent fragrance is actually perfume, but most women’s fragrances, with the exception of a “splash,” are categorized as perfumes. The next two are eau de parfum and eau de toilette, both with concentrations of 15 and 10-percent aromatic compounds. Eau de cologne is more diluted, while a splash or aftershave has the lowest concentration of aromatic compounds or perfume oils.

Regardless of the type of fragrance, perfumes, as well as colognes, are composed of three parts that segue into each other. These parts, or “notes,” consist of a top, middle, and base, with this section of notes coming in up to 30 minutes after the perfume is sprayed. All three parts influence each other. All types of perfumes have this composition, and this includes all traditional perfume types like single floral, bouquet, amber, wood, leather, chypre, and fougere. Out of these traditional perfume classifications, patchouli scents are associated with wood, while tobacco is associated with leather. Bergamot, the first citrus cent, is a chypre type of scent, while fougere often has a base of lavender, coumarin, and oakmoss. These basic types aren’t exclusive to perfumes, however, and also apply to colognes.

Modern perfume and cologne classifications expand upon this to include green, bright floral, aquatic, citrus, fruity, and gourmand fragrances. While some, such as green, are self-explanatory, bright floral actually combines single floral and bouquet fragrance types and gourmand includes dessert-scented perfumes, such as those fragrant of tonka bean, vanilla, or white chocolate. Some perfumes even combine these modern classifications to create a green and bright floral fragrance or a floral and gourmand perfume.

A sampling of classic and modern perfumes often reveals this palette of fragrances. Although most women’s perfume comes in eau de parfum and eau de toilette varieties, some scents still come as more concentrated perfumes.

Perfume – An Extension of Your Personality

October 16th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Wearing a certain fragrance is the most common part of our pampering and beauty regime. We choose and buy them according to our taste, and change every now and then depending on our mood, fashion styles and trends, and even based on whether it`s day or night, summer or winter. Perfume is the extension of our personality, our trade mark, recognizable mark and it must suit us and be similar to our nature. This cosmetic product is well accepted worldwide by both men and women, and the variety of smells is amazing, so each personality basically can find a custom option.

How does perfume work? Fragrance comes into our body, through the skin pores, mixes with our body and “starts working”. Since it mixes with our natural body smell, it is very important to match the smell with your normal skin scent. For instance, sweet perfumes smell excellent on some people, and too strong and unappealing on other. You also might know that fragrance never smells the same on two people and the reason is their unique body chemistry.

When you are buying fragrance (or even better – creating your own) you must consider the body chemistry as a very important factor. That is the reason you will not have the real impression on how will fragrance fit you, without actually testing it on your skin. Perfume should be tested on your hand wrist, and after few moments, you will have an impression of the smell, and know if it fits you or should you keep looking. This testing spot will also show if you are allergic on some substances in the fragrance, which can also sometimes be the case.

The smell of fine perfume should be noticeable immediately after the applying of a small amount of fragrance. The fragrance should not be too aggressive, but it still has to be noticeable around the person wearing it. A good fragrance is highly sustainable, it should stay for hours and you should not have to re-apply it often. It should be hypoallergenic, and must not leave any marks on your skin. And also it should be completely color free.

The strength of the fragrance depends on the concentration of the aromatic concentrated oils in a perfume. That defines the lasting of a sense and the smell intensity. This is the classification you should memorize, based on the concentration of aromatic oils:

Perfume is the strongest version of a fragrance, Eau De Parfum is next, slightly lighter, Eau De Toilette follows with even milder sense, and finally Cologne and Body Splash follow as the mildest and most discreet ones.

How to wear it? For the best and most lasting effect, apply perfume on your pulse points. Best spots for putting the perfume on are elbows, wrists and sometimes neck, and behind the ears area. If you are a lady, you can consider putting some fragrance on the cleavage, or behind the neck area.

When choosing the right smell, be sure to find a note similar to your personality. It will and should be an addition to your image, style and appearance, so keep that in mind when visiting the perfumery.

Different Types of Cologne

October 16th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Almost all men’s fragrances fall under the category of cologne, with aftershaves as an exception. Is cologne any different from perfume? Overall, not entirely, as both fragrances involve a combination of perfume oils and a solvent, which is usually ethanol. Percentage-wise, however, colognes fall within the two to five-percent perfume oil range, while traditional perfumes can have up to 40-percent perfume oil or aromatic compounds. The only fragrance less than is aftershave or “splash,” whose concentration of aromatic compounds is less than two percent. Although some cologne fragrance sets include an aftershave in addition to proper cologne, most men’s fragrances are more low-key than those designed for women.

Cologne, which originated in and is named after the German city, has a basic composition. Traditionally, colognes are either citrus or spice based, which explains why many current men’s fragrances have an amber-spice-lavender combination or smell distinctly of bergamot. Many colognes start out with a citrus template, and this covers lemon, orange, tangerine, bergamot, lime, grapefruit, and neroli notes, some fragrances with more than one for a distinct citrus body. The other option is spice-based colognes with notes of lavender, thyme, and jasmine included.

A cologne’s body is designed much like that for perfume, with a top, middle, and base, the latter of which appears even 30 minutes after you spray the fragrance. All three parts influence each other, with the top notes appearing first when you spray the cologne. Traditionally, colognes and perfumes come in the same classifications of single floral, bouquet, amber, wood, leather, chypre, and fougere. Leather and wood scents are more common for colognes, with patchouli being a variation on wood and tobacco a leather scent. With aqua and grass-scented colognes on the market, these traditional classifications have been expanded to include green, bright floral, aquatic, citrus, fruity, and gourmand fragrances.

Out of the various manufacturers for cologne, you’ll find some covering all of these classifications. Although many colognes start with a lavender-amber-spice template, many others explore green and floral notes in the body of the fragrance.

Every individual applies perfume. All love it. Irrespective of being a teenager or an elderly woman, all are impressed by brilliant perfumes. But here the parameter that should be stressed is there is no homogeneity attached in matters of purchasing a perfume. This would lead to say that there exist particularly changing factors that form the basis of buying a perfume. They rely on the buyer’s taste. In addition, his demands that are immediate, his income strength etc are significant reasons. It is quite a difficult task to buy a perfume. On the basis of the ongoing discussion, converging to an ultimate decision is in no way easy and the concerned buyer does ponder a lot about it.

There are specific guidelines an individual can try his hand on for buying fine perfumes. Though a full fledged guarantee is not there that he would undoubtedly purchase the right kind of perfume bottle but the possibility of purchasing a bad perfume is checked. The first option is the interested buyer can talk about his problems with his near and dear ones about the scents that they use and among them which one has finest quality. Such measure is bound to upgrade his knowledge regarding the branded perfumes and also would allow him to perform a comparative study in between them.

In the process of self preparation for getting hold of a scent, there exists a measure that is better than doing consultation with the kith and kin. Reading perfume review guides is the measure. The branded perfumes’ details are given in those guides in an orderly manner.

The review guides of the perfume also support the concerned applier to a maximum possible limit.

Gaining information about the available discount perfumes and cheap perfumes is vital too. This does aid to do a lesser payment in case of buying perfumes. But the interested applier should seriously regard the perfume’s qualitative dimensions. Purchasing a scent with a lesser payment may lead to buying a low quality scent. The interested buyer should roam in a hoard of shops that sell perfumes to receive hands on experience regarding various scents of fine quality. Along with the buyer, his near and dear ones who have more information about perfumes can go. Sum and substance, getting hold of a fragrance perfume is not a cakewalk!

Warning About Buying Cheap Perfume

September 19th, 2009 by admin No comments »

We see cheap perfume available all the time. They can be great savings and discounts, but is it really a good idea to buy these exceptionally cheap perfumes? In this article we will delve into this topic. I suggest you check it out and know about these.

Cheap perfume has been available for years. We have the expensive brands, and they can be quite expensive. There is a need for caution though, as these perfumes may not be the best purchase idea.

Let us take an example. A perfume is half or quarter of the price that everyone else is selling the perfume for. So you decide to buy. The result is you have this perfume, thinking that it is a top brand perfume, but it is counterfeit.

The actual perfume contains other ingredients. These ingredients may be ok, but in some cases they may be dangerous. Once I heard that counterfeit perfumes have been known to contain such things as cat urine!

I don’t know how they would go about collecting all that cat urine to bottle it or how much of the perfume would contain it, but if such stories are true, would you want to wear cat urine? Or if you are buying the perfume as a gift for a loved one, would you want them to wear cat urine or any other kind of urine?

I know this is not a good thing, so what is some things you can do to make sure this doesn’t happen? For one buy from reputable places. Buying from shoddy places that offer ridiculous discounts is a definite no no.

It doesn’t happen all the time, and even counterfeit perfumes can be of good quality using there own formula of trusted ingredients, however, it is something to be aware of.

If for example a perfume retails for $50 and other retailers offer between $40 and $60, and you have a certain place retail the perfume for $20, then this is a big tale tale sign of a counterfeit perfume. It is people who go for stupid bargains that often get stung like this, however it can happen to normal men and woman just like you and me.

Be careful of offers which seem too high, because you get what you pay for. Unless you are buying wholesale, buying liquidated stock, discontinued products, or products on display, don’t buy perfumes from big brands that have price tag savings like previously mentioned. It often is too good to be true.

In most cases even with counterfeit products, you will still get a good perfume, however, it won’t be original, and won’t smell exactly like the original, and in some cases may have ingredients which you would not want on you, if you knew what it contained.

September 18th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Saving money when buying perfume is a good idea. However, there are limits. Warnings of counterfeit products is something to be aware of, and stores who don’t deliver. In this article, we will look at how to find the best discounts while still getting what you intended to buy.

Recently there has been talk about counterfeit perfumes. These are big brand perfumes which have been made counterfeit. They retail like normal perfumes and on occasion they can be found in smaller retail stores that sell perfumes.

The products are made by other companies and they generally are bad imitations at that. It is important to be careful of these. The question is how do you know if a perfume is real or not?

In most cases it comes to the price of the product. If you find a top brand perfume at silly prices, i.e. quarter of the price of the original, then you can almost certainly expect it is counterfeit. Though there can be occasions when you will find these prices, such as if you are buying in bulk or buying liquidated stock. In most cases these prices for a one off purchase is unlikely.

There are solutions to save, and researching is the best way to find the best prices. This will save you money, but make sure that you get the right product.

Just be careful for the ridiculous savings that often come about. Like I said before they often are found in smaller stores where the owner may be unaware. Or they can be found in markets and people selling perfumes in the street on stales, etc.

The best way to find cheap perfume is to look at several retail stores and do a price comparison or go online. The internet offers great savings, so it is a great way to shop.

Often the prices online will be much cheaper than store prices, but even online be careful for prices which don’t seem normal. It can be hard to discover online stores who are selling legitimate products, but as long as you go for a middle ground in savings, you should be fine.

It begins with research. First look for several stores and with a pen and paper or spreadsheet program, jot down the prices.

This can take 5 minutes, it can take half an hour, but the result is finding cheap perfumes which are genuine and at the same time save you a lot of money. Once you have selected the store, it is time to buy.

If you have not purchased online before, then it is a great time to start! First things first, through the buying process, when entering credit card details, you will want to make sure it is a secure connection. You can tell this by looking for a padlock on your application, such as in the address bar or at the bottom of the application such as in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

The web address should change from http:// to https:// meaning that it is secure. This means it is encrypted and is a sign of a store that has sales, and is serious about protecting its customers.

Warnings About the Use of Perfume

September 18th, 2009 by admin No comments »

Wearing perfume is a great idea, and needs to be done. However, there are some things to be aware of. Not all people have such a great time with perfume, so I suggest you check these out. Find out these warnings before its too late!

Perfume is great to wear, but not all perfume is same. Some perfumes do have different effects on us, and it is important to understand these and know what to do if you have these come up.

The first aspect is that of an allergy. Most people are ok with wearing perfume without any side effects, but on occasion, perfumes can have adverse effects on us.

Perfume is made up of generally an alcohol base, as well as certain essences from certain plants and other chemicals. Pretty much, you will find that most perfumes have alcohol as its base ingredient. This is why when men shave, they wear aftershave! It basically acts to protect the face from bacteria, but at the same time makes men smell good!

Some woman may be allergic to the alcohol base, so it is essential to look for other types. There are roller ball types available, and other base ingredients, which can be considered. However, they are not that all to common. You likely will need to research into this, though finding them online should be much easier.

Another aspect is the essences that are found in perfumes. You may buy a perfume, and wear it for years, and suddenly you try a certain perfume, and it causes an allergy. This allergy could be like a rash.

If you find a perfume does this to you, then it is a good idea to stop using it, and try another perfume. The rash is a sign of reaction. Your body is reacting with the perfume, and your body says it doesn’t like it, even though your nose says it likes it!

At this point it is important to give a warning about counterfeit perfumes. Recently this is big business, especially considering the price of certain brands of perfume. Counterfeit products often contain bad ingredients. These are ingredients which may not be good for you.

So be careful when buying perfume, and don’t buy those bargains that are too good to be true. It is not always the case, and even counterfeit perfumes may be ok to wear, however, it is a precaution to be aware of.

If you have a perfume that does cause a adverse reaction, then it is a good idea to wash where you have the rash. Almost always the rash should go after a period of time.

Be aware of such perfumes that have these reactions, and don’t wear them. You may find after some time, like a year or two, the same perfume that caused reactions doesn’t anymore. So should you want to try it on again, give it a go, but sparingly.

The best option is to try perfume before buying. This will save you from having purchased a perfume which you can’t return because it has been opened.

If someone buys you perfume as a gift, try it on a small area, away from the face, and see what happens. Generally you will know within 5 minutes or at least within the hour.
