All about Perfumes
Perfumes contain a certain amount of natural ingredients, which are expensive. To make a pound of rose oil, it takes well over a ton of flower petals, and this cost can range from three to four thousand dollars. The same is true for most essential oils. Perfumes should be applied to pulse points. This is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin giving off more heat and acting like mini fragrance pumps. Pulse points are the wrist, behind the ear, crook of the arm and knee, base of the throat. Also, for long lasting Perfume spray at the ankles, it allows the fragrance to blossom up.
Body chemistry, diet and age affect fragrances on their skin. Also, fragrance consists of many essential oils. Certain essential oils have affinity to our skin, and they may be absorbed while other may not. This creates an imbalance on the skin and accounts for the difference.
Blondes or people with light skin have a tendency towards dry skin, and fragrances are basically oils that will be absorbed by the skin like moisturizers. To help your Perfumes last longer use a matching body lotion or unscented body lotion to apply to pulse points before applying your fragrance.
Perfumes should be kept away from excessive heat or cold, and to avoid evaporation, the cap must be tightly closed to maintain Perfume fragrance integrity. Also, do not expose the Perfume for any length of time to sun light.
You can put a few drops of your favorite Perfume in a bath or a few drops in the water when washing your lingerie or spray on artificial flowers.
