Further Information on Perfume

Experimenting with new perfumes or fragrances can be especially maddening. If you are having problems making cologne (EdC), or perfume last longer on your skin try some of these methods I have. Most people share the common trouble of applying a fragrance only to realize a couple of hours later they no longer smell it. First try spraying a light mist of your perfume or fragrance to your hair, since hair is known to hold scents longer than skin. Perfumes, and Colognes evaporate more readily due to dry skin, the solution is to apply a reasonable amount of body lotion or cream.

If you still have trouble trying to keep a designer scent on your skin, perhaps a cream sold along with the same brand of fragrance you bought might do the trick. Still having trouble? Don't worry keep reading I have a few more options. Jojoba oil is an excellent moisturizer, and most helpful in sponging up fragrances due to the fatty acids in it.

Unscented cream like Petroleum jelly, or Alaffia Shea Butter as a natural more eco-friendly solution. If you just want something from achemist there is a over the counter unscented cream called "Cetaphil".

Next become familiar with what kinds of ingredients the colognes, and perfumes you plan on purchasing have. Your perfumes, and colognes have a different ratios of alcohol and or water added to their oil. These different ratios are used to determine the labels known as "Eau De Toilette" (EdT), or "Eau De Parfum" (EdP).

Eau Fraiche a lesser known label for fragrances has the lowest amount of perfume oil, meaning you won't get the kind of long lasting scent as you would with a strong concentrated form like Parfum which is comprised of 15 to 25 percent perfume oil (the aromatic compounds) dissolved in alcohol. Eau De Toilette (EdT) is categorically placed in between 4 to 10% perfume oil which you could say is a medium strength blend of fragrance.

Lastly fragrances can be categorized under different notes (e.g. high notes, base notes), which have a fragrance leaving a sort of "burned" or "toasted" odor. As one can see this grey area, that most people aren't informed about has many different aspects that should be taken into account when looking at a new cologne, or perfume. Don't feel overwhelmed, use this as a guide you can even print this off and bring it with you to ask your retailer questions about what choices they might feel you could use in your quest to obtain the ideal solution for long lasting scents about your skin!

Perfume is a mind altering substance. What's more it's a mind altering substance that isn't banned and for which you don't need a prescription.

What we call scent is made up of essential oils. These are volatile oils that evaporate in the air when they are warmed or exposed to sunlight. The tiny molecules of these essential oils fit into receptors in our nostrils. When they do that we smell fresh flowers, baking bread, pine trees, or whatever.

Essential oils like that make us feel good. They make us think if good things to eat or happy times on holiday. They lift our mood and make us think positive thoughts. This is the principle involved in aromatherapy and in perfume making.

Scents can also make us feel bad too. Some scents are intended to warn us that food has gone off and is not safe to eat. Other scents of which we are not aware, such as sex pheromones, have a powerful effect without us knowing anything about it. They attract us to our sexual partners. Babies recognise their mothers by their smell. There really is good chemistry between us and those we love.

Scent plays an enormous and usually ignored part in our lives. Being surrounded all day by the scent of car fumes and chemicals, stressed and angry people can have a very negative effect on our psychological state. We need to consciously seek out good scents to lift out more and make us feel good. That is what perfume is all about.

In Medieval Europe people used such things as to carry an orange stuck with garlic cloves or a pomander to counteract the bad smells that were all around them and believe me, with open sewers and the like the aroma would have been awful. We can do the same thing in a slightly more scientific way today.

You could just go to a store, browse the infinite variety of designer perfumes that are available and buy some perfume which you like. But by expending a bit of effort you will find that making your own perfume out of natural scents will give you a greater understanding of how scents effect your mood and provide a lot of pleasure in the process. Scent has a powerful psychological effect. Using that effect is all part of the perfumer's art.

Take a few simple ingredients that you probably already have lying around at home - a vanilla pod for example. Cut it up into small pieces and smell it. If you are like most people you will find that your mood is lighter immediately. Vanilla is a seductive scent that is very attractive and yet warm and comforting at the same time. There is nothing dangerous in this scent.

How can we use the delicious scent of our vanilla pod in our home-made perfume? The task in creating a perfume is to capture that fresh scent before it dissipates into the air. It seems almost impossible, but the reality is it is perfectly possible and vast numbers of people carry it out every day..

What you need to do is to put the cut up vanilla pod in a glass jar with a lid. Add some granulated or castor sugar. A third of a teaspoonful should be enough. Then cover it in your favourite brand of vodka. Close the lid and shake it. Leave it for as long you like. It is important that you leave it in a dark cool place. Both light and heat can damage the aromatic compounds you are trying to remove from the vanilla pod. A month would be about right. You will find that when you open the jar you will smell your fresh vanilla scent again. You can then use this as a base and add a few drops of this vanilla scent to all kinds of perfumes.

You can do the same thing with almost any plant: lavender, rose petals or other scented flowers are the normal things people start out with. Herbs and spices can also be treated in the same way. If you are gathering fresh vegetable material try to do it at mid day when they are dry and their volatile oils are most concentrated.

You can dilute the scented alcohol with water to use as a perfume or add it to a carrier oil to use as body rub. All you need are a few drops if you use it without dilution. It can be used to perfume a room as well as you. A few drops of lavender added to beeswax makes a wonderful scented furniture polish that doubles as a distinctive evocative room freshener.
