Fragrance is the essence of life. Who doesn’t want to enjoy a pleasant odor throughout the day? It increases confidence levels and improves concentration. Fragrance changes the aura completely and enhances the spirit. We all use perfumes but the fragrance doesn’t last for long. The following tips are useful for holding the fragrance of your perfume for a longer time: 1. Perfume should be always applied on clean skin. The most appropriate time to apply perfume is just after shower because at that time the pores are open and the body is moisturized, as a result the perfume easily gets absorbed in these pores. And the fragrance stays for a longer time. 2. Scent should be applied in layers. You can opt for soaps, body...

Just step into a W Hotel and note the eerily similar smell to the last one you visited. Like color and light, smells can evoke emotions, making consumers happy and thus more likely to spend, return, and build brand loyalty. But one scent company is actually applying this to a living space: International Flavors and Fragrances has created a special scent that they’re planning to pump into a low-income housing building in the South Bronx, New York, filling the hallways and common spaces with – we kid you not – L’Eau Vert du Bronx du Sur. The “Green Water of South Bronx” is meant to evoke happiness and optimism for the 200 building residents. We wouldn’t necessa...

If you haven’t been keeping up with us, please leave now. Just kidding – we’ll bring you up to speed. When you see “fragrance” on the back of your perfume bottle, you are spraying chemicals on yourself that are linked to hormone disruptions and allergic reactions. Are conscientious consumers destined to an odorless existence? A recent New York Times article, “Making Flowers Into Perfume,” shared the secret of natural, DIY perfumers, with instructions for making your own non-toxic perfume: What you need: Your fave flowers or herbs Alcohol, preferably Organic Neutral Grape Alcoh...

Consequently, adolescents who use products marketed by Halle Barry, Giorgio Armani, American Eagle, Quicksilver, and Jennifer Lopez---among others---are exposed to unregulated chemicals that have been potentially linked to hormone disruption, allergic reactions, and even sperm damage.While the fragrance industry has been charged by the gove...

Have you? We all should, according a report from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Rather than list specific chemicals on bottles of perfume, many perfumes just list the ingredient, “fragrance.” This is like ingredients in your favorite soup being listed as “food.” Looking at a sample of 17 popular perfumes, it was found that each had an average of 14 unlisted ingredients in them. In fact, the 17 fragrances contained an average of ten chemical sensitizers each, which can trigger allergies, asthma, headaches, and dermatitis when inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Food manufacturer...

She planned a fun girl’s day for us starting with a pedicure for me. She wanted me to unwind – I’ve been a little overwhelmed lately. It was a wonderful day and I am so grateful to have a friend like her. In fact I have the most wonderful friends in the world, they all care deeply and make me feel loved. My darling friend had a sample of a fragrance she loved and wanted to purchase a bottle of the spray cologne. The problem was she didn’t know the name so the sales associates had to spend some time to track it down, which involved smelling a lot of perfume samples in the store. I used to always wear perfume. It was one of my favorite gifts, and my mother always gave me my favorite fragrance for Christmas. ...
