A Brief Reminder of the Constituents of Perfume

78% to 95% of specially denatured ethyl alcohol with a remainder of essential oils makes the product we call perfume and is also loosely called scent or fragrance.

Products with 22% of essential oils are the costliest form of fragrance and are called Perfumes.
EDP or Eau de Parfum comes next, having between 15 and 22% essential oils. It can last about 4 hours on the wearer.

That's followed by Eau de Toilette (EDT) with 8 to 15% oils, whilst the weaker Eau de Cologne has just 4% essential oils.

The lightest dilution of fragrance of all is Eau Fraiche with 1 to 3% essential oils and is for those who crave super subtlety.

gud sharing biz. . .which 1 u use??

[bizmen]

well I prefer to change from time to time...These days I use 'Safari', 'Allure Homme' and 'Jacomo de Jacomo' (both black and red are nice). Before this, I was using 'Diesel', 'Hugo' and 'Energise'. In scents 'Oud Malki (Mukhalat)' by Abdul Sammad is my all time favourite.

In ladies perfume, waise to kayee names hain but I'll name a few 'Wish' (very sweet fragrance, I love it more than any other), 'Coco Channel' 'Chanel No.5', 'Givenchy' and 'Abeer'. Abeer is arabic and very nice but I don't know if that is available in Pakistan or not.

You must select a good store to buy perfume from, its very difficult to get original one.

When looking for your fragrance you need to bear a few things in mind. First of all, there are three tones which may be sensed in a perfume the first tone, which will usually wear off in up till one hour, then there is the mid tone, which persists half a day and then there is the base tone, which is the final stage of the fragrance. In order to like one fragrance, you will have to enjoy all its stages, so you have to test the fragrance and smell it in different parts of the day to see if you still like it.

It is a terrible mistake to take the fragrance judging by the first sniff that you sense. Pulverize the perfume in areas of the body where the blood flow is abundant, such as the wrist or the base of the neck. A perfume may smell differently on two different individuals, as the perfume mixes with each person's natural scent, so if you sense a perfume that you like on a friend, this does not necessarily mean that it will smell the same on you.

There is lots of further studies and tips on using and chosing perfumes but I guess no one would be interested in more info []

wah wah itni bri taqreer. . .gud hai, but kia dukaan py hum test krny ko dukaan waly sy ly k market mai ghomty ghomty khud py spray krty rhain jb adhi bottel muk jae or pasand na ae to ja k usko wapis dy dain k na bhai subha tk to pasand thi abhi dupehr mai mza ni aya wapis ly lo.or dosri dikhao abhi joty bhi dhondny hain tb tk ye try kr k btaty hain.hehehahahah

[bizmen]

aisa hai keh agar costly perfume lena hai to yehi karna chahiye keh aik din perfume test karo and the next day purchase karo, afterall it's your money...lady. Secondly, tones ko mind mein rakhain and check keh aap ko kon sa perfume acha lagta hai phir us ki composition check karain. Chances are that you will like another perfume with same tones and ingredients. Another way is to check the category of the perfume e.g. floral, oriental and fruity are popular among women and woody or spicy are popular among men. another tips is that never try more than two perfumes at a time otherwise the fragrance will mix up and also it fills up the smell senses. Try smelling 'Coffee' before testing another perfume, it works really. Some fragrance shops have coffee jars available for this purpose. Another tip is that you use the perfume on a piece of paper or tissue so that you can test another perfume without mixing it with the first one.
