Feel and Smell Fresh

I believe no one of us dislike fragrances that keep us feel and smells fresh all the daylong.

Fregfances come in various types and may categorized as classic Perfumes, Eau-de-Perfume, Eau-de-Cologne and Eau-de Toilette. The difference between types is mainly due the concentration of fragrant oils; rather it were naturally extracted or synthetically made and diluted using water and high-grade alcohol.

Fragrance with highest concentration of oil lasts the longest. Perfume or Parfum Classic has the highest concentration of essential oils which contain more than 22%. While  Eau de Perfume has 15 to 22%, Eau de Toilette or deodorant has 8% to 15% oils and lastly Cologne has about 4%.

Cologne may lasts for only two hours. Eau-de-perfume may last for as many as four to five hours while perfumes can last up to more than six hours.

There are some tips to take note for best result when you're wearing fragrance:
  • Best spots to apply perfume: the nape (back) of the neck, inner elbow, cleavage, behind the ears and along the shoulders.
  • If your skin is allergic to some kind of fragrance, apply it to scent your bags, purses, hair, jackets or clothes as long as not directly in contact with your skin.
  • To test if the skin is allergic to a particular perfume, apply a small amount on the wrist, or the inner elbow or the back of the hand/arm and if there is a reaction after 1 hour, then the perfume is probably not for suitable. 
  • To prolong a bottle of perfume, place it in a cool dry place. Exposure to sun can lead to discoloration, smell alteration and evaporation.
