Fragrance

I will be writing quite a bit on Fragrance. I worked with the Fragrance Foundation in New York by telephone and internet. Really great to know!

"I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon."~~Proverbs 7:17

"Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart".~~Proverbs 27:7

Sense of Smell~~Our sense of smell is least in the morning. Our ability to sense of smell increases as our day goes on.

Everyone has their own unique odor, identity or smell fingerprint. NO two people smell the same. So when your friends fragrance smells so great...it may not on you. The average human being is able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors. Our sense of taste is greatly influenced by our sense of smell........A woman's sense of smell is keener than a man's. This could by why he does not say you smell good!

Fragrance notes: Top Notes, Middle Notes or Heart Notes, and Base Notes.
Top notes perceive immediatley on application--they form a person's initial impression. Heart Notes or middle notes, this note comes right after the top notes dissipate--the middle or heart notes compound from the heart of main body of a perfume. Base notes--this note appears right before the end of the heart note. The base and middle or heart notes together are the main theme of perfume. Base notes bring depth and solidity to a perfume. These notes come out about 30 minutes after the application. Always tap fragrance on your wrists......if not the bouqet will be ruined. Some base notes can be effective 24 hours after application.

I used to love to wear Grey Flannel Cologne for myself. Even though it was a man's perfume....I loved it.......of course I dated a man that wore it. That cologne stayed on for over 24 hours seems like.

Oh, my goodness.....I forgot to tell you about the Fragrance Circle......I was watching one of my tv segment tapes and one of my shows was about Fragrance.

Fragrance Circle..........if you are standing......spread out your arms and make a circle around your body............take a look at the distance from your body to your finger tips.......with arms extended.......as you go around your body making a circle........in that circle is where your fragrance should end...at the tip of your fingers..........someone should be able to smell your fragrance when they enter your circle....out side that circle.....you are wearing way to much fragrance. NO wonder they are cutting fragrance out of the work place.........people wear too much.

Fragrance should only last 4 hours.......then you reapply......fragrance is not meant to be worn by putting the masses on in the am.....always have a purse size with you.

If you have dry skin, you will require more fragrance.......if your skin is oily....you will require less......and will have to apply less often.

*Never rub your fragrance on your wrists or part of you body~~tap the wrists together. It destroys the bouquet. I will tell you also the stages of the fragrance. There are three and how to take care of your fragrance.

Layering: Soap or body wash then lotion then toilet water or cologne and then from the shoulders above to your ears..perfume!

Only use perfume for one year. You can put cologne or toilet water in the refrigerator in the summer time....{never put perfume in the refrigerator}....spray a mist and its so cooling. MORE TO COME! I will also be looking for scriptures in the Bible about Fragrance..........V
