Most people have a preferred fragrance that they wear every day – like a hit song on the top ten list played over - and over again until it becomes too familiar but not exciting anymore. That’s called olfactory fatigue.

Perfumes are meant to match personality, season, occasion, and mood – let alone more subtle arguments like time of day. There’s no substitute for refinement – so here’s where your scent education starts.

There are four basic categories of fragrances for women – FRESH - with citrus, green leaves, or marine notes scents – FLORAL - has Jasmine, Rose, and white flowers scents – ORIENTAL - with spice scents, vanilla, and Patchouli – WOODY –with warm woods, citrus, and moss.

Men fragrances do not have floral or oriental tones (or at least they are not called such), and the categories are FRESH (same tones like women’s), AROMATIC (citrus, lavender, geranium), and WOODY (Vetiver, Agarwood, Cedar).

We promise more information about womens-fragrances and mens-and-womens-fragrances will be posted here soon. Meanwhile you can start shopping here or at iloveperfumes.com

Perfume is the most intense form of fragrance and it lasts the longest on your skin – followed by eau de parfum (perfume), eau de toilette, and eau de cologne. The more essential oils in the fragrance the longer it last and the more expensive it is.

Eau de Cologne with just 4% essential oils and Eau de Toilette with 8 to 15% oils are the least concentrated and last about 2 hours. They come in larger spray or splash bottles and are meant to be used liberally all over the body as the first layer, or first line of defense if you wish.

Eau de Perfume (Parfum) with 15 to 22% essential oils lasts about 3-5 hours. As it has more essential oils it becomes a little more expensive, so use it on the warmer points of your body (wrist, neck, etc.)

Perfume or Parfum Classic is highly concentrated to up to 30% of essential oils and lasts 6 hours or more. Due to its higher concentration of oils it be-comes very expensive and should be used for maximum effect. A smaller bottle of perfume will last longer than a larger size eau de perfume if used effectively, but in the end using either fragrance is just a matter of preference.

In case you didn’t know, a pound of rose essential oil costs $5,000 and up, while jasmine essential oil can exceed $25,000 per pound.
