In Defense of Choosing Great Perfume
Great Perfume
There are two types of luxuries: everyday luxuries and the luxuries that we save for special occasions. Maybe we want to show someone that we really care about them, but we really don’t want to make a big deal of it. Or maybe we want to turn an event into a true special occasion, even if it only has meaning to the immediate people around us. It just depends on what you’re trying to actually accomplish. You might feel that it’s necessary to give yourself something nice every once in a while — and that’s not a bad thing at all. Some people find that it’s nice to reward themselves for all of the work that they do.
So, what can fit into both categories effortlessly? Perfume, of course! If you really want to make sure that you have the best chances of actually getting something that you’re going to enjoy for a long time, then this guide is exactly what you need to focus on.
If you’re trying to develop a signature scent, then you need to make sure that you’re focusing on something that you really want to smell like. You will most likely wear this scent so much that it’ll be associated with you.
For women, flowery scents are very nice. For men, musk-oriented scents that remind people of the great outdoors can be the best bet. It just depends on what you’re trying to accomplish in the long run. After all, your signature scene it something that you’ll be wearing for a long time.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with thinking about getting the best perfume for your own needs. You might feel like it’s selfish, but there are a lot of things that we do just to make our lives a little brighter. If these are the things that make life feel more livable for you, why not do them?
That’s why we defend perfume so much because it really does make the perfect gift. Even though we refer to both genders through the site, perfume is a term is that is most often used for women’s fragrances. Cologne is the proper term for fragrances designed for men. of course, there are unisex fragrances that are floating out there. Many celebrities like to release these in order to get their name out to a larger audience than what they would have.
You can find good perfume just about anywhere. Boutique stores online will sell the most popular items, while offline stores will let you actually smell the fragrance for yourself. Of course, you could always combine both tactics and smell the scents for yourself and see what you really like!

The Importance of: Perfume
A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.”
– Coco Chanel
I’m currently reading Karen Karabo’s The Gospel According to Coco Chanel so my mind is filled with tons of Chanel quotes. This quote was the headliner of the chapter about femininity and she’s absolutely right. Perfume is very much synonymous with womanhood as are handbags and high heels. But then again, this is coming from the woman who invented Chanel No. 5, a scent that I’m still trying to get used to. Sorry Coco! I don’t know if it’s an evolutionary thing that women do, but we like to smell just about everything. My boyfriend can attest to the fact that I smell everything around me, especially my food, my clean laundry, or my surroundings. Clean laundry smell is my favorite! Needless to say, I love scents, especially good scents like perfume.
Science and Perfume
Picking your scent is as personal as finding the right foundation shade for your skin. It has a science behind it along with a touch of personal preference. Human biology 101: every single one of us produces a body chemical that’s unique and are completely our own. It’s not the kind of chemistry that you’re thinking about that involves the attraction between two potential, compatible mates. In its face value, body temperature affects a fragrance’s notes and each of us has our own specific skin chemistry. This point is very important because it’s the combination between the chemicals that our bodies produce and the perfume that we choose that will ultimately determine if that specific scent suits us. In short, a perfume that may smell great on you will smell horrible on another woman.
Another point to remember is that a perfume has three notes — the top, middle, and base notes. The base note of a perfume is the strongest and the most ever lasting of all three, with the middle note coming next, and the top note being the one that lasts the shortest and evaporates the fastest. The basic idea is to find a perfume that has a base note that smells great on you with a middle and top note that you wouldn’t mind wearing, as its initial scent wears off, because regardless of the perfume brand and type, the first spray always smells very strong. So when picking a perfume scent, make sure to pay close attention to these three effects.
How to Choose your Signature Scent
You know how some people believe in love in first sight? Well in this instance, step #1 is love in first sniff. Your original and instinctual reaction to a scent is crucial in finding the perfect fragrance for you. Step #2 is that aforementioned hullabaloo about body chemistry and fragrance reaction that we have to take into account. Step #3 is the wrists only, no rubbing and no sample paper strips rule. When you’re trying out a fragrance, make sure you spray directly on your wrist and DO NOT rub your wrists together. Doing so crushes the scent. And of course, spraying the perfume on a sample strip will only work for step #1 but completely violates step #2. So after spraying it on your wrist, wait for it to dry before smelling and determining if you like it or not. In addition, do not overlap and mix perfumes and wait for a little while before making a purchase to let the scent settle in for you to determine if it suits you or not.
Pre-plan and Research
I’ve found that Sephora and sephora.com is the best place to test drive and research a new perfume purchase. Unlike the fragrance department of upscale department stores like Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Neiman Marcus where you feel intimidated to touch anything let alone ask a sales associate for help, Sephora stores have a very hands on, feel free to touch, try, and smell everything feel to it. And because of this, I’ve found it to be the best place to get perfume samples next to those little fragrance strips in glossy magazines. What’s more is that their site has this feature called Fragrance Finder that can help you narrow down perfume options before purchasing. I’ve always like to research items before I go shopping, a habit that can be both good and bad. And since there are so many scents to choose from like floral, fruity, woody, earthy, natural, grassy, etc, this will make decision making much easier.
As for me, I typically go for very clean and light scent for my fragrance preference and I tend to go to the floral scent the most. Go figure right? Florals are my favorite print and scent! I’ve been wearing Dolce & Gabanna’s Light Blue since high school. It has a very lively and colorful smell to it which I love. And during my junior year of college, I fell in love with the strong scent of Juicy Couture’s Viva la Juicy, which has a very floral smell. My recent fragrance purchase is Miss Dior Cherie L’eau. I’m completely in love with this smell. It’s a floral scent that’s very light and playful, which suits my very personality. So if your’e in the mood for a new scent and a new change, I recommend hunting down your next favorite fragrance and keep these tips in mind! Happy smelling!

Delicious – Breath of God
You are standing in a field. You kneel and take a handful of earth. Outside is cloudy and humid, about to rain but not yet. The earth is moist and you feel it on your fingers as you play with it. I say earth but what i mean is soil, the real stuff, meaty, dirty yet fertile. Things are growing here.
You bring it close to your nose, attracted by its texture and the ancient connection with this loam, the estranged and always present pull of the earth. You take a deep breath, You don’t feel a rotten smell, it’s there of course, but there are flowers too, like roses and ylang ylang and maybe a hint of some sort of citrus, is it an orange? What flowers and fruits came to die here, leaving their flavour and nutrients as testament of their existence and seeds of rebirth?
You realize that behind all this there is wood. A bit rooty. You have a vision.
A greek God took this dirt and rubbed it on sandalwood for centuries. When it was done, it breathed life on it. His breath of incense permeated it all. When it was done, the mold appeared where you are. It’s been there forever, forever changing. Every season and every crop and every serendipitous flower and fruit that happened to touch it, every wind and rain, changed something.
You can take it as it is, just some normal earth on a field and leave it at that, most will.. But when you love it, you might get a sense that there’s more to it. Something magic, complex, hard to understand. Something bigger than now and yesterday or tomorrow.
The breath of God.
