Women’s Perfume - Finding the Right Fragrance for Your Chemistry is Easier Said Than Done
Posted by admin | Filed under Articles
For women, perfumes and colognes are a way of life. A good fragrance is like invisible makeup; it may not change the way that a woman looks, but it can certainly change the way that they smell and that can make a drastic impact on the way that she feels about herself and the way that she looks.
Where to Buy Women’s Fragrances
Women’s fragrances can be purchased just about anywhere. Depending on the type of fragrance that she was looking for, a woman has a variety of places to actually do any shopping for perfume. Low end boutiques, high end department stores, the internet, auction sites, outlets-the possibilities are endless.
There are just so many places that a person could choose to look for their various fragrance needs. Depending on what you are willing to pay, it isn’t difficult to find the right price points if you use any or all of those shopping avenues that are available to you, including the World Wide Web.
It sometimes becomes necessary to have to pursue some discontinued women’s fragrances for one reason or another. Many discontinued women’s fragrances bring back long lost memories of one’s mother or childhood, and although these fragrances are not necessarily commonly sold they are commonly loved by a lot of people. This is the only reason why the memory of older perfumes has survived and some people are still out there looking for some of the classics.
You can buy many women’s fragrances that have not been discontinued on the web or in department stores. Depending on whether you are looking for high-end department store fragrances or just regular run of the mill perfumes, the internet is a great resource. The internet is great for one stop shopping whereas actually shopping may take one or two or ten department store visits to find the right women’s fragrance in the right sized bottle, or in the right version.
Finding the Right Fragrance for You in Store
s If you are shopping in stores, it can be rather difficult to find the right women’s fragrance for you. It is a fact that the nose can only hold onto three distinct smells-especially perfume-before it starts reporting the wrong information to your nose, so if you go around sniffing ten or twenty types of perfume, your body will be completely unable to handle that. Spray your desired women’s perfume fragrances on cards rather than on your body. If there is one you like, you could wear it around if you wanted to but consider the fact that it may make an impression on your nose that disrupts the smells of other perfumes that you are shopping around about. The fragrance could get in the way and give you a different scent than it actually smells, meaning that the fragrance you thought you were buying may very well be completely different from what you actually end up with.
Some popular women’s fragrance designers are Elizabeth Taylor, Estee Lauder, LancĂ´me, and others.
Women’s Fragrance Designers are a Dime a Dozen
These days, there are perfumes out there from Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez and even Mariah Carey these days.A lot of celebrities are coming out with perfume lines because women’s fragrances are a hot commodity so women have more choices to choose from now than they ever did before. For this reason, a lot of not-so-good designer perfume may be slipping through the cracks and it is up to the shopper to make sure that they know what they are looking for when it comes to their favorite fragrance.
If you are on a budget when shopping for women’s fragrance, it sometimes helps to shop wholesale or discount shops for the right fragrance. There are a variety of these on the web; FragranceX.com is a very popular example of this. This website contains a lot of different perfume types including men’s cologne; obviously when shopping online for perfume it is important to know what you are looking for because you won’t be able to smell it. Those who like online women’s fragrance shopping may benefit from picking up some perfume samples from the store and making their final decision while shopping for fragrances on the web.
Buying women’s fragrances can be a fun and rewarding experience! Those who love perfume should love shopping for women’s fragrances, as there are so many different kinds of Oriental, Woody, and fruity fragrances to choose from. Choose a women’s perfume type that goes well with your body chemistry, and you will smell like a dream.

Tips for Sampling and Choosing Perfume
Posted by admin | Filed under Articles
Tip 1:
Perfume never has the exactly same fragrance on different people. Don’t choose a perfume just because you like the fragrance on someone else. Perfume will interact differently with each individual’s body chemistry.
Tip 2:
Fragrance is a combination of the perfume’s scent and your body’s chemistry. Don’t try to tell what a perfume is like by sniffing the bottle. Apply the perfume to your wrist and allow the fragrance to develop, and blend with your skins unique features, before testing. Allow up to 10 minutes for fragrance development after applying the perfume sample.
Tip 3:
Limiting sampling to 3 or 4 perfumes at a time will avoid confusing and overwhelming your sense of smell. Sniffing coffee beans between samples can help clear and refresh your sense of smell.
Tip 4:
When sampling consider developing a perfume wardrobe. A perfume wardrobe is like a clothing wardrobe, with perfumes for different seasons, occasions, and moods. A perfume for each of, casual, evening and romantic wear will cover most requirements.
Tip 5:
It is perfume oils that give perfumes their fragrance. Check the category of the perfume when selecting your perfume. The higher the concentration of perfume oil the longer the perfume will last.
Perfume Category Typical Perfume Oil Content
After Shave 0.5% - 2.0%
Eau de Cologne 3.0% - 5.0%
Eau de Toilette 5.0% - 8.0%
Eau de Parfum 8.0% - 15.0%
Parfum 15.0% - 30.0%
