More and more perfumes appear on the shelves of perfume shops. Types of perfumes vary in concentration, composition, country of manufacture. This division is very important, but it is more similar to the technical characteristics from the instruction manual.
Fragrance Magic
Perfumes, and especially women's perfumes, are real works of art. It is no coincidence that many well-known brands, releasing a new perfume, do not remove from production also old, long-loved fragrances. These are such as “Shalimar” from Guerlain, “Joy” by Jean Patou, “Youth Dew” (“Dew of Youth”) Este Lauder, “Chanel No. 5” and others. Bottles are developed individually for each flavor. Their design anticipates the impression of inhaling the ragweed they contain. Before you go to the store, look at the catalog where perfumes are presented. The photo will give a first idea of the smell and its orientation.
Fragrance is invisible clothing. The perception of a person develops not only when considering his appearance, or from the sound of his voice, but also from the smell emanating from him. Spirits have a magical effect on humans, and there is something to think about.
Types of perfume
To understand the spirits are few. Not surprising, because their creation is a whole science. Where to start choosing perfumes? The types of perfumes are divided into daytime, evening and everyday. Since they consist of an aromatic composition of extracts and oils, water and alcohol, their purpose changes depending on the concentration. Gradation is rather arbitrary and variable. However, stable indicators stand out. For example, eau de toilette has the lowest saturation, its aroma lasts on the skin for up to an hour and a half. It suits young girls and is quite universal. Perfume water is more stable - up to about three hours, it can be selected for different situations of any age category. The most persistent option is, of course, perfume. They are not recommended for daily use. These are fragrances for special occasions. Good perfumes deserve to spend money on it. The highest pedestal is occupied by perfumes. Their prices are set depending on the concentration and composition. The most expensive are made from natural raw materials.
Three waves
Expensive perfume has a complex wave of aromas. The first is felt when opening the bottle. These are the most volatile essential oils - rosemary, coriander, tarragon, thyme, rosewood, citrus fruits. It is as if they are preparing for the perception of the main wave, the “heart note”, which, in fact, is individual and decisive for each perfume. The third wave is the fixators of resistance. They can be of plant (sandalwood, oak moss, sage, vetiver) or animal (ambergris, beaver stream, musk, nibet) origin. Their synthetic counterparts are also used.
Flower Series
Smells come in several directions. The traditional “flower” series contain the smell of rose oil, jasmine, peony, lilac, violet, apple tree flowers. Men believe that such smells are most beautiful for women, for example, “J`Adore L`Absolu” (“I adore without conditions”) from Dior, smelling of rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang or “Idylle” (“Idylls”) from Guerlain.
Spicy series
A series of spicy, oriental spirits with a pronounced smell of cloves and pepper is suitable for business women, for example, “Oeillet Bengale” (“Bengal clove”) from Aedes de Venustast. And you can go on a date with your beloved, enveloping yourself in a veil of cinnamon and vanilla aromas “Amouage” (“Waves of Emotion”) or “Ange ou Demon” (“Angel and Demon”) from Jivanshi.
Chypre series
Chypre perfumes contain notes of needles, wood bark, moss in combination with the aromas of flowers, citruses, and leather - for example, Agent Provocateur (Agent Provocateur), J'Aime (I Love) Pearl.
Amber Series
Ambergris perfumes are perfect for the cold season and for special occasions. They do not go to young ladies at all. The gray, wax-like substance formed in the digestive tract of whales is highly appreciated by perfumers for its ability to preserve and enhance the volatile constituents of perfume compositions. "Magie Noire" ("Black Magic") by Lankom, "Salvador Dali" - the famous representatives of this group.
Wood series
Woody - this is usually a men's perfume. The types of perfumes of a universal type, that is, unisex, often belong to this series. In particular, the woody perfume "Un Jardin Sur Le Nil" ("Garden on the banks of the Nile") from Hermes. They fell in love with both men and women. The harsh smells of vetiver, juniper, sandalwood, patchouli are especially suitable for energetic, bold and unpredictable personalities.
Marine series
Sea, oceanic, water spirits. Female representatives of this series are also not very numerous. Issey Miyake, Versace, Kenzo created unique aromas that evoke a feeling of freshness of the sea breeze or the coolness of a mountain waterfall. In them you do not seem perfumed; on the contrary, purity and coolness blows from you. This is emphasized by the way the perfume is designed. Photos of the bottles demonstrate a simple and concise design. But this is only an appearance. This series has a great future, and, despite her youth, she has already formed a whole army of fans.
Different perfumes always stand on the dressing table of a self-respecting woman. The types of perfume are at her discretion, but there are always flavors for special occasions and for every day.
Perfumes are usually applied to those places where the skin is the thinnest - on the bends of the elbows, wrists, near the clavicles, behind the ears, as well as on the hair and above the upper lip.
When buying perfumes, you should be especially careful, because expensive perfumes are often faked. One changed letter in the name may not be noticed by you, and the seller will not admit deception. The effect of such spirits is distressing. The smell will not unfold beautifully from time to time, but, on the contrary, can cause nausea and headache. It will be extremely unpleasant to transform. The veil that he wraps around can play a trick on you. Well, if this disgrace can be washed off, and if a drop falls on clothes or, God forbid, on fur ?!
