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’m rather curious, why is it that TV commercials feel the need to use half naked women to sell women’s designer perfume? Could it be that the name alone is not enough? Elizabeth Arden, Christina Aguilera and Sarah Jessica Parker to mention just a few, could not sell otherwise, I doubt it.
Now men’s cologne seems to sell better by their name alone, or am I just missing those commercials? Anyway, I think it only fair for commercials to advertise the same with the men, Tim McGraw to name just one.
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.
Elizabeth Arden was actually named Florence Nightingale Graham. She was the fourth child of five born to a Scottish grocer. As a young women and an experimenter, she believed that from common substances such as herbs, medicines and salves she could create beauty aids, and she did just that with the help of a friend who was chemist.
By the 1930’s it was said that there were only three names known globally, Singer Sewing Machines, Coco Cola and Elizabeth Arden. She created and launched her first fragrance in 1935 which she called Blue Grass Perfume. At the time of her death in 1966 her company was grossing an estimated $60 million dollars a year. Elizabeth was the owner of over 100 salons in America and Europe and also created and manufactured over 300 cosmetics and fragrances. Just a few of her products are Green Tea perfume, Splendor perfume, True Love perfume and my all time favorite Red Door perfume. Her products are truly worth the time and money you would spend.
Did you know that the original Toys for Tots program was founded in 1947 by Col. Bill Hendricks, he came up with the idea for Marine Reservists to collect and repair used toys and hand them out to needy children?
Today Toys for Tots only accept new unwrapped toys or gifts, I say gifts because older kids and teens up to age 18 participate. Some good ideas to donate would be, stuffed animals, age appropriate games, age appropriate books, cosmetic items, perfumes and colognes. Teen girls like Baby Phat perfume and teen boys like Cool Water just to name a couple ideas.
To find a dropoff location or to become a dropoff location visit the national website at www.toysfortots.org. I know that you would feel better donating and the children will have a Merry Christmas.
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.
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.”
