how and which perfums

lawa
By lawa

We use perfumes on our skin in so-called "warm spots" where blood flows near the skin giving away the warmth of our body outside. These spots work as small fragrance pumps.

They are situated on wrists, behind ears, in the inner part of elbows and knees, and on a neck near the collar-bone.

Perfumes will last longer on oily rather then dry skin. Therefore, before using perfumes we may use some Vaseline or oily cream.

Fragrances are more intense when it is warm. Therefore, in summertime you should either use less perfume or use the lighter fragrance.
types of perfumes are so numerous may be astonishing. You may easily feel lost with so many new fragrances being introduced into the world market each year.

Although there is no officially confirmed division, each of the new fragrances possesses certain features which allow its categorization to one of the following groups:
Fruit fragrances

These fragrances are most often defined as fresh and light scents. They use the aromas of melon, lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, or orange blossom. The most popular fragrances of this type are: Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfinger (1996) and Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani (1995).
Ocean fragrances

These fragrances are the newest types of fragrances based on synthetic ingredients which smell like fresh ocean waters.
Green fragrances

These fragrances are made with distinctive and fresh aromas which remind you of environmental scents, for example: woods, grass, sour apples or lavender. Now the well-known fragrance of this type is Beautiful by Estee Lauder (1986).
Oriental fragrances

These fragrances are associated with Far East. Their base is designed around exotic spices and flowers, sandalwood and resin. The first perfumes of such kind were introduced in 1925 by Guerlain under the name of Shalimar. The oriental fragrances are very strong and in the eighties when there became very popular, they became also banned by the owners of some of the big companies in their office buildings. Oriental scents are not in fashion all the time. However, those who like them are usually very fond of them. The typical example here is Obssession by Calvin Klein from 1985.
Chypre fragrances

These fragrances are the smallest yet the most unique group of perfumes. Therefore women who love this scent will always love it, and those who cannot stand it, will never wear it. The basic note here is oak moss scent which gives it very specific aroma of soil. Then others notes of ciste labdanum are added. The complementary notes are: patchouli, rose or bergamot. The examples here are: the classic Aromatic Elixir by Clinique (1972) and recent Rush by Gucci (1999).

My wife bought me a new perfume called 'ample'. It is a beautiful , small cute bottle with just one flaw. If you look closely, it looks like an 'S' has been scratched off the bottle.

..curry is far from beer, at least, on the scent side..also, it is easy to stay away from the food but need a lot of diplomatic tact to not linger around with office mates who are elite - smelling...

..seems you know so much about perfumes, may i ask if you know about a scent that my indian and pakistani friends are saying as only worn by the elites of east indies..?..i'd like to know its name to make sure i get away, as much as possible, from the people who wear it because it gives me the headache..can't say much about the people who are too proud to wear it coz who wouldn't want to be considered elite..?..

..this perfume, i speak is a very strong one..if i may describe it, it is like drinking beer mixed with a menthol candy...

Burberry Brit

Zara Uomo

Thierry Mugler B Men

Prada Man.

Out of those, hard to pick a favourite, probably Prada Man. Hard to get hold these days though, seems they've brought the line to an end and introduced Prada Amber Man.

Zara is really nice as an everyday fresh light fragrance, easy to wear, and quite well priced too!
