You can also pick different scents depending on the occassion or your mood. You can match different scents based on their lightness or depth.

The problem is, most people never bother bother to check how a scent would smell on them, and instead rely on merely sniffing it from a testing paper or the bottle. You should spritz it on your wrist, and let the smell linger for a minute before smelling. Only then can you find out if it’s an ideal match, since most perfumes will remain on your body even after several hours.

While plenty of people love to use and talk about perfume, not a lot are aware of it’s origins. Did you know that perfume has existed since the ancient times?

It has been around as long as the Egyptian pyramids. Isn’t that amazing? In those days, perfume was made by mixing different types of scented plants, oils and animals. But modern day perfume, like the one we use to day, only dates back to France in the 1600’s.

But what about colognes, where it come from? Well, the origines of cologne can be traced back to Germany, some 300 hundred years back. The history of cologne can actually be traced back to a Carthusian monk, who was said to have invented this fine mixture, which he then sold to the male population. It became so popular, that he later gave it a name: cologne.

So what’s the difference between perfumes and colognes? The difference lies in the strength of their fragrance. While both can be created using a mixture of essential oils and denatured ethyl alcohol, perfumes have more essential oils added into it. The ratio of oils found in perfume is about 20:40, compared to that of cologne.

It’s because of this, that perfumes have a stronger fragrance, and tend to last longer on the wearer than most colognes. That’s why perfumes are merely dabbed on, while colognes are usually sprayed. Despite these differences, colognes and perfumes both have the same storage requirements, and should be kept in a devoid of heat and sunlight. This keeps the perfume and cologne from evaporating.

Most people make the mistake of storing their perfume and cologne inside the medicine cabinets in their bathrooms, forgetting that hot showers can increase temperatures. The best place to keep perfumes and colognes are in your bedroom, or even the refrigerator, if you want to lengthen their shelf life.

That’s it for this article, and I hope learning about the origins of perfumes and colognes have been very insightful.

Why do people wear perfumes and colognes? It’s no doubt that people wear them to smell good, and as a result, which is why the perfume industry continues to be a successful market. Perfumes not only make us smell great, but it makes us feel more attractive. So what are the other reasons why people wear perfumes and colognes?

There are a few different reasons why people choose to don on a scent. One, is that people love buying designer colognes and perfumes because they are a fan of the brand. Scents endorsed by celebrities are a continued success, since people want to buy things that they think they′re using, which is an effective way of marketing.

Besides using celebrities, another way that companies market their products is through their packaging. Designer perfumes bank on their name, and the striking looks of it’s bottles and the boxes it comes in. Beautiful packaging increases it’s aesthetic and economic values.

To compliment this, they use equally attractive models in their advertisements. In these ads, the models hold the bottles of cologne and perfume, making it seem like they were more beautiful after having used the product. A sure way to get consumers to buy their product.

Of course, there are those who buy the scents simply because they like the way it smells. So the buy the scent solely on the fragrance.

But the biggest reason why women buy perfume is that it makes them feel more attractive, giving a boost to their self-confidence. Men buy colognes for the exact same purpose: they buy them thinking that it will make them more attractive to women.

Isn’t it great that we have the modern advantage of having easy access to colognes and perfumes? Especially since this wasn’t the case many centuries ago, when most people had to rely on scented oils to smell fresh by masking their body odors. (That’s because most people didn’t take baths everyday. Eww.)

See, that’s just a few reasons why people love to get colognes and perfumes. And if you do find yourself smelling a little ripe, try taking a bath first. That’s cheaper.
