Deep Fragrances

Fragrances can often reflect our mood and personality. A certain scent on a good friend may smell quite differently on you as each fragrance reacts differently according to our own chemical makeup.

When testing a perfume in a store, be sure to wait about 10 minutes to allow the fragrance to react to your body chemistry before buying it. Smell it after the first application and then smell it again after waiting. This allow you to sample both the top and middle notes of the scent and give you a good sense of how the fragrance will linger throughout the day.

Be sure to limit how many fragrances you try at one time at the store - stick to just 3 or 4 at a time. Otherwise your olfactory senses may become overwhelmed and you may not be able to tell one perfume from the other!

If you are concerned about an allergic reaction, wait about an hour or so after sampling the perfume. If no reaction occurs by that time, it is probably safe to go ahead and splurge on that new perfume!

Always apply fragrances directly to your skin or hair, as some fragrances (especially parfums and eau de parfums which have a higher concentration of oils) may cause discoloration on certain fabrics. Never spray fragrances directly on silk - it will damage it!

If you like to spritz a bit on your clothing, be sure to test it first on hidden area such as an inner lining before spraying it all over yourself! This is especially true for delicate fabrics and “dry clean only” clothing.

I suggest changing your fragrance depending upon the season. In other words, go for lighter scents during the hotter weather and keep the stronger scents for the drier, cool weather. Heat intensifies the scent, so there is no need to douse yourself in a heavy scent during the summer. And if you are outdoors, be aware that bees, wasps, hornets, and other flying bugs are attracted to flowery fragrances (which is another good reason to stick to light, clean scents!)

Speaking of heat, if you want to keep that favorite perfume as fresh as the day you bought it, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place. Keep the bottle in it’s original box, if possible. You may even want to keep it in the fridge, so you can have a refreshingly cool spritz of your perfume before heading out for the day!

Givenchy, which is pronounced gee-von-shee, is a line of perfumes, cosmetics, clothing and accessories. Hubert de Givenchy formed the Givenchy organization in 1952, and ran the empire for over 4 decades before retiring in 1995. Givenchy has numerous lines of fragrances out, which are very popular throughout the world. Some of the best selling fragrances by Givenchy are Givenchy Gentleman, Eau de Givenchy, Givenchy Pour Homme, Organza, Hot Couture, Amarige and many more.

Givenchy Gentleman was introduced in 1974, and is one of the older fragrances by Givenchy suitable for men. Gentleman is very definitely a fragrance, which will take some time before you can get your head wrapped around it. It is recommended for daytime wear, great for the office, but it would also be acceptable as an evening fragrance. Givenchy Gentleman cologne contains the following notes: TOP NOTES: Tarragon, Cinnamon, MIDDLE NOTES: Patchouli, Vetiver, BASE NOTES: Civet, Russian Leather.

Eau de Givenchy for Women was introduced in 1980 and is considered a soft, floral scent. All the fragrance notes are pretty evident but they don’t over power your senses. The dry down is well blended, but there are distinct notes of lily and jasmine, with the jasmine continuing to get stronger with wear. The woody, musky base notes are light and soft. Eau de Givenchy perfume is perfect for daytime wear and contains the following notes: TOP NOTES: Bergamot, Spearmint, Fruity Notes, MIDDLE NOTES: Muguet, Jasmine, Rose, Cyclamen, BASE NOTES: Moss, Sandalwood, Cedar wood, Musk.

Givenchy Pour Homme cologne is a fairly new creation by Givenchy and was introduced in 2002. Givenchy Pour Homme is light and cool, as well as sensual, long lasting, warm, and addictive. The scent is woody and fresh with green herbs, balms and spices. The citrus top notes are still noticeable but it dries down to a spicy base that has reasonable lasting power. Givenchy Pour Homme cologne contains the following notes: TOP NOTES: Cool Grapefruit, Mandarin, Violet, MIDDLE NOTES: Lush Fruits, Exotic Spices, Floral Notes, BASE NOTES: Warm Woods, Vetiver.

Organza perfume for women was introduced by the design house of Givenchy in 1996. Organza is classified as a sharp, oriental, woody and flowery fragrance. This feminine scent possesses a blend of honeysuckle, amber, nutmeg, vanilla, and gardenia and is recommended for daytime wear. It’s warm, graceful, and very well blended. The bottle of this fragrance is just as elegant, as the perfume itself. This fragrance is rich and very different, a blend of flowery aromas with honeysuckle and gardenia gently sweetening its sultry base of nutmeg vanilla and amber. Organza perfume contains the following Notes: Honeysuckle, Amber, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Gardenia, and Iris.

Hot Couture perfume for women was launched in 2000. This well made fragrance by Givenchy is a floral, oriental fragrance that is wonderful for evening wear. The raspberry note makes its way through the veil of amber vetiver and magnolia with a subtle touch of pepper. It has raspberry and amber notes, mixed with pepper, although raspberry dominates at first, the pepper and vanilla mix in to make it a perfect fragrance. Like a rare couture gown, this fragrance is an original, artful creation. Hot Couture perfume contains the following Notes: Raspberry, Amber, Vetiver, Magnolia, Pepper, and Vanilla.

Choosing the right fragrance can define who you are when you are a teenager. It can give self confidence and may even attract members
of the opposite sex. Personality should also be considered when choosing a fragrance, and so should lifestyle. A bubbly active cheerleader will
choose a different scent than the more quiet studious teen.

3. BABY DOLL by Yves Saint Laurent - this is a citrusy fragrance with a longer scent life of 6 to 10 hours. This fragrance is perfect for the more perky active teen.

Please remember, perfume smells different on different people, and may even smell different on one person if they are ill, or change their diet,
or many other reasons. The best way to try out a new fragrance is to spray some on your wrist and smell… where the fragrance for awhile and
frequently smell your wrist. Personally I wait for a few minutes for the perfume to “sink in” before I base an opinion, and quite often I will
like the fragrance much more after its been on me for awhile!
