wearing it because your skin will modify the scent in a personal and individual
way.

about what you’re wearing.
The Scents are subtle and careful research was done to make
sure they were the best smelling scents for the body.

Perfume tells a story
all its own:
People love perfumes. People have used perfumes for thousands of
years for a variety of different reasons- to attract and seduce the opposite sex;
to improve one’s mood or state of mind; to boost one’s level of self - confidence;
to refresh and energize, and so on.
The aim is always to choose a fragrance that suits your
individual persona. To put it another
way, look for a scent that will enhance your aura, not take away from it by
overpowering you (and others)!
Fragrances react when applied to the skin. As your body heat rises, the perfume starts its
magic. Perfumes smell differently on
each person because of a difference in body chemistry.
The biggest factor in how a scent will smell on you is the
result of your body’s PH balance (acidity vs. alkalinity) interaction with the fragrance. Ideal PH is alkaline – but stress and poor
nutrition will turn your balance to acid, and that will affect fragrance.
Several factors can
play a role in how a scent interacts with your unique body chemistry:
Stress: If you are feeling a large amount of anxiety it will
often affect your heart rate and cause your hands to become clammy and you
might start to sweat. This will change
your body chemistry and the scent of your perfume.
Diet: What you eat can radically change the smell of
fragrances on your skin. For an extreme example,
too much garlic or onion consumption can cause these aromas to permeate your
skin when your body temperature rises. Also, if you were on a high fat diet the
scents placed on your skin would be more powerful than someone who was on a low
fat diet. Dramatic changes in your diet
can change the way your favorite fragrances smell.
Age: There are a number of significant hormonal changes for
men and women at different stages of life; for instance, puberty, pregnancy and
menopause can all wreck havoc on your hormonal levels and change the way your
fragrance smells when applied.
Medications and Medical Conditions: For example, people with
Diabetes will have a harder time finding fragrances that work for them due to
the fluctuations in their blood sugar levels.
As their sugar levels change, so does the scent of the fragrance they
are wearing.
Fragrance Personality:
Inside each of us lies our own “fragrance personality”. The choice of one’s perfume says a lot about
one’s personality, lifestyle and way of thinking. It also makes an impact on other people as
well. Long after you leave a room your
fragrance will linger on, as if in rememberance of you and your presence. Perfume is the most intense form of
memory.
This helps explain why some individuals are drawn to fruity
scents, others to florals, others to musky and others to oriental spices.
It has been
hypothesized by perfume retailers that the kind of music a person enjoys, their
favorite colors and what activities they enjoy all play a role in with regard
to their fragrance preference.
Classical music lovers who vacation in the country and adore
the color pink tend to be drawn to the most feminine of all scents – the floral
ones.
Rock & Roll: Rollers who also favor the color yellow and enjoy
indulging in spa treatments tend to lean toward fruity fragrances.
R&B enthusiasts that like to down-to-earth color green
and believe that a dream vacation would be a lakeside resort enjoy crisp scents
deriving from the stem and leaves.
Jazz lovers, who enjoy visiting exotic places, such as,
island getaways and profess to love the color purple, tend to go for more oriental
scents that contain ingredients that exude sensuality such as heavy flowers,
musk and vanilla. Oriental scents (also
known as ambers) are sexy, intense and full of energy.
Some scientists believe perfume preferences are directly
linked to favorite colors. People who
are fond of light, bright colors such as pink, orange & yellow would be
more inclined to gravitate toward fruity or floral scents while individuals who
favored darker, richer colors such red, green or purple would be more likely to
be interested in warm, oriental fragrances.
People who enjoy hanging out at the beach, devouring sushi and
are true blue for the color “blue” have a tendency to go for ocean scents that
remind them of the fresh salty air and the warmth of the sun.
Sophisticated jet-setters who enjoy retiring at night on red
hot satin sheets and also enjoy the taste of spicy food usually reach for a
woody scents that calls up thoughts of earthly elements.
Sporty people often prefer clean, light and fresh scents
that are very subtle.
Upbeat, optimistic, energetic types who always have a ready
smile for everyone often enjoy fruity scents.
Sexy personalities, like sexy scents that make a bold proclamation
about who they are. These people go for
musky fragrances, which leave a lasting impression (especially on the opposite
sex).
Some perfume experts believe introverted people have a much
keener awareness of scents and smells than extroverted people and for that reason
tend to be more inclined to be drawn to the intensity of oriental scents as
opposed to the lighter fruity and floral scents.
Beauty is in the ‘nose’
of the beholder:
Major Histo-compatibility Complex(MHC): The MHC consists of
a set of genes that capture a person’s unique immunogenetic
profile/signature. As such, the MHC is a
disassortative mating trait . (i.e.,
people choose individuals who are the most dissimilar to them on this trait as
a means of providing the greatest immunological defenses for their prospective
offspring). It was found that people
prefer perfumes that seemed best suited for their unique MHC profile. In this
case, this means that preferred perfumes are those that are most likely to augment
an individual’s body fragrances as a means of advertising his/her MHC
signature.
Dr Wedekind
recruited female volunteers to sniff men's three-day-old T-shirts and rate them
for attractiveness. He then analyzed the men's and women's DNA, looking in
particular at the genes that build a part of the immune system known as the
Major Histocompatability Complex (MHC). Dr Wedekind knew, from studies on mice,
that besides fending off infection, the MHC has a role in sexual
attractiveness. It changes odors in ways the mice can detect, and that
detection is translated into preferences for particular mates. What is true for
mice is often true for men, so he had an idea that the MHC might affect the
smell of human sweat, as well.
It did. Women
preferred T-shirts from men whose MHC was most different from their own. What
was more, women with similar MHCs favored the use of similar commercial
perfumes. This suggests that the role of such perfumes may be to enhance the
underlying body scent rather than mask it, as a more traditional view of the
aesthetics of body odor might suggest.
That makes
evolutionary sense. The children of couples with a wide range of MHC genes, and
thus of immune responses, will be better protected from disease.
Indeed, the
only people for whom MHC matching might not be expected to work are women on
the Pill. Chemical contraception, which mimics pregnancy, messes up the system
because of an intriguing twist. When women are pregnant, they prefer the smell
of MHCs that are similar to their own. This means they are happier in the
company of their relatives, which may, bring evolutionary benefits of its own.
Bottom line: Our perfume preferences are part of a wide
range of signals that we use to attract prospective mates.
How to make your fragrance last:
The best places to apply fragrance are the inside of the
ankles, behind your knees, the wrists, the crook of the elbows, the sides of
the neck and behind your ears as these are your pulse points (areas on your
skin where blood flow is strongest and the skin is the warmest).
Fragrance lasts longer when applied on damp skin right after
a shower or bath.
Wear stronger scents in cold weather. Cold reduces a scent’s
intensity. So you may want to change
your scents according to the seasons.
Fragrance rises.
Apply onto skin from the feet up.
If you only apply behind your ears, it will eventually rise and
disappear.
People with dry skin will need to reapply often and oily
combination skin less often. Dry skin
doesn’t retain scents as well as skin higher in oil content.
Another thing to consider when applying perfume is that each
person has an approximate circle around their body where people should be able
to smell your scent. Hold your arm out
directly in front of you. If people can
smell your scent from further away than that, you are either using the wrong
perfume (it is having poor reaction to your body chemistry) or you are using it
the wrong way.
Fragrance is supposed to be a personal message, not an
announcement or broadcast over the public address system!
