Hiya!

You use it on a daily basis, it is often a decoration of your dressing table; it usually comes in a beautiful bottle. This is how many of us see perfumes. However, it is not all when it comes to fragrances. In my today’s post, you will discover surprising facts about perfumes. Enjoy your reading!

Should perfumes be adjusted to the age?

Absolutely not! Although, our grandmothers most often used rose perfumes (each of us probably remember their distinctive scent). Think about mature people, not to say, elders, who feel and act like teenagers. Would a heavy, spicy and musky scent fit them? Of course, they do not have to choose light and citrus flavours at once. When buying perfume, each of us, regardless of age, may be guided by different tastes.

Do not store perfumes in the bathroom!

A bathroom is a place where we take a shower, sometimes we do the make-up and store cosmetics. Perhaps that is why we keep perfume on the shelf next to the shampoo and masks. We use them during the morning routine, just after dressing up and coating the eyelashes with the mascara. Meanwhile, the bathroom is the worst place to store perfume. Why? Moisture, water, artificial lighting and variable temperatures have a very negative effect on the quality of the scent. Where to keep perfume? Put it on the dressing table or cabinet in the bedroom.

Expensive vs. Inexpensive

It is not true that more expensive perfumes are better than the cheaper ones. High prices can be associated with natural and rare ingredients but not with quality. One must take into account that we pay not only for the smell but also for packaging, marketing and other sales related matters. Less expensive perfume can also be quite good. Unfortunately, most of them are fakes. To make it even more ridiculous, fakes are sometimes more durable than original perfumes.

Men’s fragrance for her?

Why not! Has anyone forbidden us to use male perfume? Of course not. What is more, there are even fragrances called unisex. Just as there is no division into women’s and men’s food, there is no division into perfume for ladies and gentlemen. Additionally, do you know that in the early 20th century, the manufacturers began to produce scents dedicated to ladies and separately to men? And it’s all for purely business reasons. What’s more, most perfumes have a slightly different scent on each of us. Therefore, it does not make any sense to buy a product with the words FOR HER or FOR HIM.
