OK, I would like to know what it is that makes Demeter fragrances so popular, and the price is a little steep, just my own personal opinion. I have read some of the reviews and I have to admit that I don’t much care for going in public smelling like dirt. However, some women love these fragrances, I just don’t get it.
If I’m going out, lets just say, on a blind date, my date asks me what kind of women’s perfume I’m wearing? Do I really want to say play-doh, laundromat or even grass. No, I would much prefer my response to be similar to Chanel No5 or Gendarme 20.
I’m rather sure that I’m not the only one that feels this way, and that some women, apparently want to smell like dirt, but when I get out of the shower, dressed, apply my makeup and then my perfume I want to be proud of what I smell like. If I’m wrong, someone, anyone, please correct me.
According to the examiner.com Lansing, Mariah Carey had plans to play a role in Tyler Perry’s next movie, she has however, cancelled those plans to start promoting her new women’s perfume throughout the metro area. On July 10th, her latest fragrances, Ribbon, Mine Again and Honey will hit stores like J C Penney, Macy’s and Dilliard’s.
When Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” Nick told how he proposed to Mariah with a ring pop, the gem shaped lollipop on a ring. When the executives at Elizabeth Arden heard this they began to develop a proposal of their own.
Mariah Carey’s Lollipop Bling, which are the three fragrances created by Elizabeth Arden, are all based on candy flavors. With each purchase of any one of the three fragrances, the consumer will receive a free ring pop. I do believe that this will attract the younger generation that has a little more expensive taste. Surely that was exactly what they are targeting with a one once bottle retailing at $35.00
So it’s Friday morning and you just can’t quit thinking about the date you have for tonight. Not just any date but a blind date. It is the first time you have gone on a blind date and boy are you nervous, where are we going, what to wear and how should I wear my hair.
My first and only blind date was so nerve racking. I knew that we were going to a party but didn’t know what kind. I remember being very apprehensive about what kind of women’s perfume to wear, or if I should wear any at all. As it turned out I did wear inspire perfume, however, the party and the date was a flop. I have not even entertained the thought of going on a blind date since. However, I did fall in love with the perfume.
I’ve always been a fan of hockey, football and basketball and thought it was rather interesting when
Tony Parker and Eva Longoria got married. Honestly, I didn’t think it would last, don’t know why for sure, but I didn’t. However, it is refreshing to see them still together.
Eva Longoria Parker has now joined a large list of celebrities launching her own womens perfume called, Eva by Eva Longoria. Eva’s new fragrance is due out in the U.S. in the spring according to Women’s Wear Daily. Eva told WWD that she has always been somewhat allergic to all perfumes and wanted to create something that all women could wear. Eva created a scent that is light, fresh and unique. “I think that the scent of a women is extremely sexy and this scent will prove that” says Eva Longoria Parker. I must admit that I’m looking forward to the new scent.
Well it would appear that if you want to attract a man all you have to do is wear Chanel No.5. According to a superdrug survey of 3000 women, the women’s perfume Chanel No. 5 is the fragrance most likely to attract a date. Which isn’t so surprising since it’s been the best selling fragrance in the world since the late 1920’s.
If you wonder why, then let me share just a few facts with you. In 1959 the bottle of Chanel No. 5 was added to the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art, in 1959 Marilyn Monroe was asked by a reporter what she wore to bed, her answer, “just a few drops of No. 5″, also, according to resources, the formula to the greatest success in perfumery is well guarded in a safe in a secret location.
So if you are in need of a date, a man for a minute or a lifetime give Chanel No. 5 a try.
When you decide to buy a new perfume, how do you decide what you want? This is a question I’ve asked myself many times with no good answer, so I stick with the same women’s perfume I’ve worn for many years.
Thank God for family and good friends. When I approached them with the same question I got some really helpful answers. First, how a bottle is packaged is most surely a reason why I buy a certain perfume. I want it to look elegant and not plain or macho, so to speak. Second, how much do I want to spend. A high quality perfume is normally associated with a higher price tag. And finally, whatever perfume you may choose, you want it to last all day, so sample it before you buy it. Spray a little on your wrist, go walk around the store for 20 minutes or so, if it is not to strong or to subtle, it may be what you are looking for.
You can not possibly go wrong if you are completely honest with yourself about what you are looking for. Last, have fun with it and you will find it is not such a hard decision to make.
Gabriel Chanel was born August 19, 1883. After the death of her mother, her father gave her up and she subsequently grew up in an orphanage in Correze. She was given the name Coco after a song about a lost dog called Coco.
In 1910 she decided to impose her line of clothing. In 1921 the creator of Chanel No 5 (his first perfume) presented it to Coco with 2 series of number samples, when asked “what name will you give it?” she answered I launch my collection on May 5th, May being the fifth month of the year leave it No 5. Coco drew the original bottle (very simple) and said that what was in the bottle was much more significant.
Pierre Wertheimer, a famous businessman (owner of the Bourjois Company) was entrusted by Coco to manufacture and distribute her perfumes. The Wertheimer family always holds the Chanel Company. In 2002 the fragrance Chanel Chance was distributed to the United States and Canada, and made it’s apperance in the European and Asian countries in 2003. Chance is a refined blend of jasmine and citrus.
Miami Glow was introduced in 2005 by Jennifer Lopez, an accomplished actor, singer and dancer. J Lo claims that she wanted the bottle to resemble the body of a woman, large hips and a long sexy neck, which I think she accomplished. Around the neck of the bottle is a bracelet with a golden sandle which can be worn.
Miami Glow perfume has a tropical scent aimed more towards young women. One young lady states that miami glow “smells like the sweetest winged angles came together and made it”. I highly recommend this perfume, it is not so much conservative but has a more mature scent, heavenly.
There is an art to wearing perfume that to many women overlook sometimes. So here are a few rules of thumb.
Because we use differant products on our skin from shower gels to lotions to perfume, we need to be careful with the scents we choose that they do not intermingle. If you would rather smell your moisterizer, then apply an unscented deodorant, or if you would rather smell your perfume go with an unscented moisterizer also.
The application is probably the most overlooked part of wearing perfume. Lightly spray your pulse points (chest, ankles, neck and behind your knees) a half spray may be all you need for each area. You may want to try spraying a cotton ball with a subtle casual fragrance such as Chanel Chance and using it as an applicator to diffuse the fragrance a little more.
Remember, if your perfume lingers longer then you do in a room or if people can smell your perfume before they get close to you, you may be wearing to much
Women say they wear fragrances to smell good, but what they’re really hoping is to attract men. Womens fragrances like musk oil have traditionally been worn to attract men.
In order to find out what smells can help a woman to find a man, or excite her current partner, it’s best to ask men directly what women’s perfume they like. One befuddled man said, “I don’t know, I am just a guy … but I like a fragrance that I can only smell when I am close enough to kiss her neck.”
Another guy said, “A sweet smell, but nothing too strong. Just the mere hint of something that’s maybe citrusy, or maybe musky, but not strong enough that you can tell for sure.”
