Scentibility - Business Women’s Guide to Fashion
Posted by admin | Filed under Articles
Professional women can impress their clients, customers, colleagues and associates with their charm, intellect and scent. Wearing perfume or fragrance in the workplace is becoming increasing common and can reinforce your image. But, it is important to be sensitive to how you wear your fragrance so that you are not being offensive to those around you. Listed below are tips that professional women can use to promote a healthy sense of aromatherapy in the business arena.
Cologne, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum
There are usually three forms of fragrances that women can use on their bodies to enhance their natural body scents. Cologne is the least concentrated of the three and therefore the smell is does not last as long. It is typical to re-apply often during the day. Cologne is great if you work in an environment where you are in constant contact with others. The smell is faint and will not disturb others that may have allergies to fragrances. Eau de Toilette is a little more concentrated than cologne and lasts longer through out the day. The smell of the fragrance is more intense so you are instructed to use less of the fragrance on your body. Eau de Parfum is the most concentrated of the three and more expensive. Eau de Parfum has a stronger smell and lasts almost all day where there is no need to re-apply.
Points of Contact
When applying fragrance to the body, it is best to apply to the pressure and heat sensitive points on the body. This will ensure that the fragrance will last longer and will send out a soft and natural like scent that is not over powering or distracting to others. Points of contact include the back of the neck, behind the ear lobes, in the chest/cleavage area, the wrists and behind the knees. Only one or two squirts are necessary for each section of contact. When spraying the fragrance, make sure that the spray is a few inches away from the body. Another good idea is to spray the fragrance into the air and walk into it.
Layering Effect
The best time to apply fragrance is after you finish showering. The scent tends to last longer and it would reduce the amount of times that you re-apply the fragrance during the day. A soft and subtle way to apply fragrance can be by layers. For example, if your favorite scent has a soap or deodorant, you can use them as well as spraying the fragrance. You can also apply the lotion or powder form of the fragrance before spraying the fragrance. The layering effect allows the smell of the fragrance to remain consistent and subtle without being too loud or strong. It produces a soft scent and enhances your natural body scent.

Men’s Fragrance Ideal
Posted by admin | Filed under Articles
Men’s fragrance is always difficult to choose as there are so many selections available for them. Some people may think that men’s stuff are rare and difficult to find the most suitable one, especially for perfume or fragrance which seem to belongs to women favourite. Can anybody clarify what the “fragrance” means? This generally includes any type of perfume or liquid substance which will be used to improve body scent. These are, for example, aftershave, cologne, perfume etc.
Due to the variety of fragrance selections, it is often seen that looking for an ideal one for you may not be an easy job. Once you learn more about the characteristics of each type of fragrance and able to understand your characteristics and needs, then you can start looking for your favourite fragrance.
However, the most important thing may be to get to know more about each type of fragrance. You have to identify about which type you will use. The usage may be on daily basis or occasionally. One of the most popular and well known men’s fragrances is cologne. This type is very much similar to perfume, which normally used by women. The obvious difference may be that men’s fragrance is much more strong and pricey than women’s. We consider that cologne may not have long lasting effect as perfume and is normally has mild degree in scent. Cologne is preferably designed for men and used in more quantity. The cologne can be applied to some parts of skin to make it attractive but perfume has much stronger scent so we just use few drops.
These two types of fragrances can be used as substitution of each other but women mostly use perfume rather than these two. As today, there are many types of perfume for men, but many of them have turned out to be interested in using perfume. Also, the trend of using cologne still widely exists. The other type of fragrance for men is an aftershave. It is what can be used when a gentleman finish shaving by applying on the area that has been shaved. Even though aftershave may not be the fragrances that directly design for use as a fragrance, but it is used to maintain moisture and condition of the skin and this is the main purpose of aftershave.
However, aftershave is considered as one of the types of men’s fragrance as it provides good and attractive scent and could be very long lasting. Therefore, many of aftershave manufacturers try to make aftershave to be more than what is used for maintaining skin condition, by adding scent into the liquid. So now aftershave is one of the most popular fragrances for men because they do not have to buy additional perfume or cologne but just use quality aftershave. In all, no matter which type of men’s fragrance that you are using or planning to have one. It is necessary to know the difference of each type of them in order to choose the type that most fit to you.
