Don?t think that perfumes are only a woman?s fancy. Advertisements and the range of men?s perfume or cologne will show that men indulge in perfumes just as much as women if not more. In earlier days, men used perfumes to conceal body odor because they would weeks on end without a bath. But today, perfumes are meant to attract and to keep them fresh. It is a small personal luxury for men to splurge on perfumes therefore even if it can make a hole in their pockets; it is still worth it to get only the best.

Even if you are new to men?s perfume, or if you are really tired of your old perfume, then its time that you buy a new perfume for yourself. There are several variations to select. Just enter any store and search across the whole variety of perfumes for men. It is very important that you select the right one for your self. Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting a fragrance for men.

The first step is seeing that the perfume works fine with your own body temperature and do not cause you any headache problems. Many men who use strong smelling perfumes often suffer from minor headaches and they really don?t seem to know the reason behind it. So if you want to make sure that the perfume you pay for works for you, you have to ensure that you get the right one. That means that even if you feel that it smells great on your best friend that does not mean it will do the same for you. You must certainly try out the perfume on your self before buying it. Use a tester and apply the fragrance to the same area or maybe at least a couple of them that you would if you were putting on the perfume at home.

Another rule you can follow to get the best of the perfumes is not to trust the first impression you get from the perfume bottle. Try it and take a round around the store and get the feel and see if you are not getting nausea and that is really an important factor consider. You can take some minutes more if want to be more confident with it.

Some of the popular perfumes for men can be found under the brand names like Gucci, Armani, Calvin Klein, Dunhill, Hugo Boss, Jean Paul Gauthier and many more Just remember, it is not you that you are trying to impress. It’s that beautiful female who you want to enjoy your company and get closely linked to you and after all you want her to remember you for a long, long time!

Perfumed oils, balms and burning of incense was a very important part of religious ceremonies. Frankincense and Myrrh exuded gums from trees were widely used as scents. In Biblical days there were many different kinds of way?s and reasons where perfumed oils were used.

The skin as well as the hair was perfumed and anointed, especially on special occasions, the scented unguent was used with profusion. Anointing an honored guest was a courtesy the most high performed. Among the directions listed for the service of the tabernacle are two prescribed recipes, possible Egyptian in form. One recipe prescribes 750 ounces of solids in six quarts of oil. It is possible that the oil was pressed off when the scent of the aromatic gums was absorbed. The liquid would then be used as anointing oil, while the solid residue provided an incense. The process of manufacture is not clear, and the account takes for granted that the work of the perfumer is commonly familiar to the reader. It is clear however, that the compound was based on the aromatic gum of Arabian plants indigenous especially in Arabia Felix in the south of the peninsula and that the medium or base was some form of fat or oil (probably calves? fat and olive oil). In its later trade form perfume was some times packed in alabaster boxes or flasks. Such ointment was heavily scented and costly.

Two of the most well known times are the ?Wise Men? giving a gift of Frankincense and Myrrh to baby Jesus at His birth. Also the story of Mary with her ?Alabaster Jar? that was broken and the aromatic oil filled the whole room as the oil was poured over Jesus? feet to anoint Him before His crucifixion, it was said of Mary who did this, that she would never be forgotten.

The word “Attar”, or oud which can be otherwise called as ‘Otto’, comes from the Persian word meaning “To smell sweet” . It is the Purest form of perfume that doesn’t consist of any alcoholic property or any chemicals. Attar is one of the most volatile oils which is very pure and smooth with a deep and strong odor.

The odor of the attar is a balanced combination of tea-like aroma of leaves and the soft sweetness of flowers. For living flowers the predominating first note is a bit lighter and sweeter, but in the attar the two aromas coexists in a balanced form. The distillation process takes nearly for 25 days for a pure and smooth attar, but which is very costly.

WHAT DOES IT CONSISTS OF?

Attar and oud is nothing but pure distilled notes, essential oils or perfumes extracted by hydro-distilling of various flowers, roots, herb, spices and even it can be made from animal extracts like musk and amber.

So do you think perfume is about romance, about a nicely wrapped box from?or for?someone you love? When you think of perfume, do you think about the way it makes you feel, about the sensual pleasures of its scent, its color, the way its package is designed? Well, think some more, because perfume is also a business, and its clientele are one among the world?s best-researched markets. There are about eight thousand scents in commercial distribution around the globe, whose composition is carefully protected by those who paid a lot of money to develop them.

Not only are their formulations carefully protected, but they?re well-researched as well to make sure that they appeal to the right markets. Because the perfumes that sell in Asia, don?t sell in the Middle East; Americans like different perfumes than the French. Strong scents don?t seem to sell in Asia, and for that reason a number of manufacturers only distribute eau de toilette. In the Latin countries and the Middle East, people prefer scents that linger. The French are more likely to buy complex, plush, rococo scents; consumers in the US and Canada prefer sporty, innovative perfumes.

While Alain Lorenzo, president of Parfums Givenchy, explained to the New York Times, ?The rule of thumb is richer scents are preferred by Latin and black cultures and fresher ones by European cultures,? the lines aren?t at all clear when it seems that vanilla scents sell well in all markets; Hispanic-American women prefer fruity-floral scents. Since each market is different, let?s look at one in particular: Dubai. In 1999, this port of entry into the United Arab Emirates, imported $146 million dollars worth of perfumes and toilet waters.

Just under half (48%) came from France, with significant market share distributed between the USA (12.6%), Italy (6.8%), Switzerland (3%) and Germany (2.8%). France?s domination of this market is telling; because among the 250 regional markets where French perfumes appear, the UAE ranks twelfth. Dubai shoppers prefer designer brands, and leading French perfumers?like Givenchy?will plan to release new scents in Paris and the Gulf, simultaneously; Christian Dior has more than 70 retail outlets across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (that include Dubai).

France?s significance for Dubai, and Dubai?s significance to France, is unlikely to shift in the near future, even though German exports of perfumes, beauty products, and personal care products have doubled in the past decade. German-manufactured cosmetic, toiletry, and perfumes have achieved a reputation for innovation, quality, and product safety.

Perfume Facts

Perfume is made up of alcohol, water and perfume (fragrance) oil.
It is a word that comes from Latin per fumum, which means “through smoke” (per means through, fumum means smoke).

There are 3 major types: oriental, floral and chypre (means “very sincere” in French). There are also many sub-variations such as woody, musky, aquatic, spicy and fruity.

Eau de - means “water of” in French.
Eau de cologne - contains about 3-5% perfume oil. Used by men.
Aftershave lotions and splash colognes - contains about 0.5-2% perfume oil. Used by men.
Eau de parfum - contains about 15-18% perfume oil. Used by women.
Eau de toilette - contains about 4-8% perfume oil. Used by women.
Parfum (perfume) is the strongest of them all as it contains the most perfume oil. Use sparingly.

Scented ingredients added to perfumes include ginger, grapefruit, musk, peppercorns, mandarin peel, fig leaves, rose, watercress, bamboo, clementine, vanilia, honeysuckle, green tea and the list goes on.

A perfume contains between 10 to more than 250 ingredients.
Everyone has their own personal aura. Thanks to genes, diet, skin type, medication, stress levels, pore size and perspiration. These factors can affect the warmth of the skin which will in turn affect the scent result. That means, a perfume could smell differently on 2 persons.

For most people, buying a perfume means visiting their favorite department store and picking up their choice of perfumes over the counter. Few people are aware that it is possible to get perfumes at wholesale rates. To purchase goods from a real wholesaler means that you need to have a “Certificate Of Resale,” generally available from your State Department of Revenue; it can cost anywhere between five to twenty dollars. Some states do not require that you have this kind of certification.

A proper wholesaler is typically next in line of distribution to the manufacturer. Wholesalers buy in large quantities and are therefore able to pass on their savings. Buying from a wholesaler may mean that you have to purchase stock of a minimum purchase price, which could be anything from $100 to $1,000.

To find out where you can pick up wholesale perfumes, you should check dedicated trade publications. Such trade information can also be found through directory information from the National Association of Wholesale Distributors or the Encyclopedia of Associations that lists over 100,000 different nonprofit American organizations.

Surplus dealers who buy large quantities of hard-to-sell items offer these to purchasers at below-wholesale prices. Usually a “Certificate of Resale” is not required to buy products from these dealers. However, you have to do your homework well, as most dealers will require that you buy in bulk.

Many wholesale distributors have online sites where you can pick and choose what you want in the comfort of your home and yet pay a reasonable price for it. However, do take note of the fact that although wholesale rates are as much as 50% lower than normal retail rates, there are some products that will never make it to the surplus or wholesale market, including some designer perfumes for instance. And you could be taken advantage of and not end up getting what you thought you were buying. So shop wholesale - but with caution.

Perfume: The Story of a MurdererAn acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind’s classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man’s indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.

In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille’s genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the “ultimate perfume”—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.

There are a wide variety of choices available for women when it comes to perfumes or scents. Colognes, body mists, body sprays and perfumes of different brands are filling up the market. Scent manufacturers are also undertaking marketing strategies and advertising campaigns that further push their products with celebrity endorsements, attractive packaging and name branding that gets us confused when we are choosing for scents to purchase.

The amount of fragrance you will be applying on your body should depend on the type of fragrance you have bought. We all know that eau de perfume contains more aromatic compounds than that of eau de toilette or eau de cologne. The more aromatic compounds the longer the fragrance lasts so the lesser amount you should be applying. But whether the scent would last the whole day or just minutes it is important that you don?t overdo it. We don?t want to be wearing too much of the scent causing a very overpowering smell that can sometimes irritate other people?s noses. This is especially true for young women who are not used to always wearing scents and older women whose sense of smell start to diminish. We have that habit of re-applying perfume when we feel that we don?t smell it anymore. We have to remember that when a scent stays with us, our nose gets used to it after several minutes that we no longer notice it. We may not smell it anymore but others who just approach us can definitely smell it. Majority of the perfumes are meant to last for hours. It would be best to re-apply once in the morning and then again in the evening. Avoid applying a different scent unless you have taken a shower. We don?t want our scents to be mixing.

It is recommended that you have different perfumes for the different seasons. Perfume reacts differently on your skin under varying seasonal conditions. In the summer it can be very hot and humid while it may be very cold in the winter. Try different fragrances for the different seasons to find out what is best suited for your skin type.

Perfume is not meant to last long and has a shelf life of around 3 years from date of manufacture. With proper storage you can lengthen the shelf life of your perfume. For eau de perfume always store it in a dry dark place. For eau de toilette and eau de cologne avoid it being exposed to high temperatures for it reacts differently.

When you find fragrances that suit you, stick with them. These will become your signature scents that every time others may smell them they can easily associate it with you.

Choosing the right perfume can never be an easy task. There are a lot of factors to consider. But it can be rewarding and a lot of fun, too. Your fragrance reveals a lot about your personality, or what you want it to be. Remember also that certain ingredients in perfumes affect or arouse different kinds of emotions and feelings in people. For instance, spicy scents like musk are believed to be aphrodisiacs, while fruity scents are calming, fresh, yet sensual. You must be able to choose the right kind of perfume that will fit your style and your purposes, as well.

The first thing to consider when selecting perfume is that you must not get influenced by what perfume advertisements are telling you. It?s a big mistake to buy perfumes without trying them out first. Never trust a perfume?s description in a magazine or on TV. You have to try out and smell the scents yourself, to make sure that you?re getting the right kind of perfume that suits you and your personality. When testing new scents, think about how you would describe them. If you try out a perfume and you think the words ?sexy?, ?fresh?, or ?fun?, then these are the messages that you?d be sending to people as well.

Try to think about what kinds of scents or smells you really like or are attracted to. Research can be a very valuable tool. Lots of perfumes, especially those that are coming out nowadays, are based on the scent of vanilla. Do you like the aroma of a cake being cake? Or perhaps you prefer the scent of the ocean? If so, oceanic fragrances will work well for you. You may think that you wouldn?t want to smell like tea leaves or apples, but these preferences can be clues to what scent is right for you. Another important thing: never assume that just because your friend?s perfume smells heavenly, it will also smell the same with you.

Consider also the season. During the summer, fresh, fruity, and floral fragrances work best and are suited for the season. Spicier and warmer cents are more appropriate for the colder months. Some experts say this also goes for your location; if you?re living in tropical climates, for example, wearing fruity and fresh scents would generally be the best choice.

Age must also be a factor when choosing perfumes. Not all perfumes are suited for all occasions and age groups. An oriental perfume may come off as too sophisticated for a teenager, for example. These fragrances can have strong scents, and are mostly suited for intimate, special occasions. Green perfumes, on the other hand, are light, refreshing, and are more appropriate for teenage girls.

But how do you test perfumes? Refuse those little cardboard pieces that some salespeople may offer you, and instead try it out on your skin. Spray it on your wrist where the skin is warm, so that it will diffuse the scent quicker. Don?t rub it into your skin. But don?t sniff the perfume immediately after you spray it on, either. Wait for several seconds or even for a minute. Sniffing the perfume as soon as you put it on your skin will just overwhelm your senses with the alcohol. You can try on two perfumes, though, but spray either one on each wrist. And don?t try out more than two; your nose will get confused and you?ll go out of the store smelling like a perfume factory.

One more interesting thing you might want to remember. Once you apply a scent, wait for about half an hour. If you can?t smell anything by that time, but other people can, then that scent is meant for you!

You can wear a pleasing scent and lift your mood with all-natural aromatherapy perfume. Aromatherapy is the art of elevating one?s mood and feeling of well-being through the expert use of essential oils derived from flowers, herbs and other natural products. Most kinds of aromatherapy perfume use no animal products, such as musks, and use an alcohol base, mountain spring water and expeller-pressed essential oils. The advantage of using expeller pressed essential oils is that they are extracted naturally and not through chemical solvents. The result is an aromatherapy perfume that will make you feel better and give a pleasant aroma.

Some aromatherapy perfume is highly concentrated and should be placed only on pulse points (the places where you can feel your pulse and where body heat can most easily transmit the fragrance). These pulse points include:

? Navel
? Between the breasts
? On the wrists
? On the inside of the elbow
? back of the hands
? back of the nec
? collarbone

Other aromatherapy perfumes are available as lighter colognes, which means that they are diluted and can be sprayed on the body and on clothing. You may also find aromatherapy perfume sets which include a perfume, cologne, soap, shower gel and moisturizer. Since the goal of aromatherapy is to create a general effect on one?s mood by surrounding the person with a particular scent, it is a good idea to purchase candles or oil burners that have the same fragrance or which falls in the same general category of scent (i.e. citrus with citrus, cedar with cedar etc.)

When using aromatherapy perfumes, one should be careful when using blends that include citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, orange, lemon and lime. Putting citrus on the skin can greatly increase one?s sensitivity to the sun, so avoid using fragrances featuring citrus before sunbathing or going into a tanning booth. If you do, be sure an wear sunscreen that will protect you adequately against UV rays.

An aromatherapy perfume that will improve your vitality and zest may include: sandalwood, rosewood, mandarin orange and grapefruit. This blend will also give off a pleasant, feminine fragrance. For a romantic fragrance, try a blend of lavender, rosewood, bergamont, lime, Ylang Ylang, mandarin orange, grapefruit, cedarwood and vanilla. This blend combines a combination of different elements to create an overall feeling of relaxation.

A good anti-stress aromatherapy perfume that will boost confidence includes: evergreen, juniper, cypress, cedarwood, bergamont and sandalwood. A blend that will lift the spirits and relieve anxiety includes monoi from Tahiti, lime, bergamont, sandalwood, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine. It is possible to put one aromatherapy perfume on before work, to prevent stress, and to try another blend after work, to relieve workday stress and strain.

Since different scents have different effects, it is a good idea to experiment to see which aromatherapy perfume is right for you. You can usually find samples of aromatherapy perfume, just as you can find samples of conventional perfume. You can find aromatherapy perfume sold on the internet and in nature stores. The disadvantage of purchasing aromatherpy perfume online is that you are unable to put a bit of it on your wrist, as you would in a store. You can order samples, however, and those who are familiar with certain kinds of scents can get a sense of whether or not a certain fragrance will be right for them.

Some prefer to make their own aromatherapy perfume from alcohol, essential oils and water. The advantage of this is that it may save some cash, but the drawback is that most people lack the expertise needed to make a truly fine aromatherapy perfume. However, if you don?t mind finding the right fragrance through trial and error and feel you have a knack for it, you might want to try your hand and making aromatherapy perfume.

Whether you have never regularly worn a fragrance, are tired of your old one, or would like to expand your repertoire for the new season, choosing a new perfume fragrance is something that should be done carefully, particularly since fragrance products can be expensive. A little often goes a long way, so if you buy it and end up not liking it, it can result in a lot of waste, not to mention that you are now back where you started. Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting a fragrance.

First, you may not know that fragrances interact with your own personal scent and temperature. If you think about it, you already know that different people smell different, and we?re not talking about when they?re sweaty or haven?t showered in a few days, just in general, all the time. So you want to make sure that the perfume you purchase works for you. That means, that even if you love it on your best friend, it won?t necessarily do the same for you.

Following from that, this also means that if you love a fragrance on a sample card in a magazine or sprayed on a piece of paper at a department store, it will not smell the same on you, because the paper does not have any odor to react with the perfume, nor does it have any heat to assist the scent in emanating. The conclusion? You have to try it on yourself. Take a tester and apply the fragrance to the same spots (or at least a couple of them) that you would if you were putting on fragrance at home.

Another key rule to follow is that you should not trust just your first impression of a scent. Walk around in it a while to make sure you get the full experience. Perfume fragrances have three stages, or ?notes? that are designed to reveal themselves over time as you wear a fragrance. So your first whiff of a perfume will be only the head, or top, notes. Fragrance makers know that as with people, the first impression is important, so these scents will usually be the strongest of the three sets, and will set the character of the perfume. The heart, or middle, notes, will begin to surface after the initial head notes begin to fade. This may take a few minutes or as long as an hour. These scents are designed to round out the head notes and make the scent more complex, as well as more subtle. Base notes appear as the two top notes fade and give a sort of foundation to the scent, complementing it and giving it lasting strength, and are usually experienced after about half an hour.
