People have used perfume, and oils for thousands of years in lesser or greater amounts. The early Egyptians used special perfumed balms in religious aims. Many plants such as rose and peppermint were used to extract perfumed oil from them. It is amazing, but after trying a plenty of ways of perfume creating, we still make fragrances in the same way as our ancestors did.

What Is Perfume Made From?

This question has been puzzling me for a rather long period of time. Moreover, why some fragrances are long-lasting and some aren’t? So, girls, it is essential to know, that perfume is made from about 78% to 95% of denatured ethyl alcohol and the rest of it are essential oils. 

Before buying a perfume, carefully read what you are going to buy:

Perfume is the costly form of fragrance because it contains nearly 22% of essential oils. 

Eau de Parfum (or EDP), includes with between 15 and 22% essential oils.

Eau de Toilette (or EDT) has 8 to 15% oils.

Eau de Cologne possesses just 4% essential oils.

Eau Fraiche with 1 to 3% essential oils.

Finally, I am ready to share with you tips for wearing perfume

When applying perfumes try to apply them only to pulse points, I am talking about the folds in the crook of our elbows and back of knees, wrists, cleavage and neck. Very often we can see in various ads, after applying perfumes, people rub wrists together. FORGET IT! This procedure crushes the smell. 

The next tip is spraying a small doze of perfume into the air and then you have to walk straight into the perfume. Thus, every part of your body will be saturated with perfume.

It is not right to apply perfume to the neck, because it has a tendency to rise. But it is a perfect idea to put a small cotton ball with your beloved scent in your bra. You will always smell delicious.

Don’t forget about layering perfumes. I mean, try to buy a lot products with the same smell. For instance, use not only fragrance, but lotion, shower gel and even spray with the same scent.

Keep all your bottles tightly stopped, as well as far away from direct heat and sunlight. May be it sounds too trite, but all these can spoil your fragrance. Once you have noticed your fragrance looks darker, it is not a scent that it used to be. Nowadays, more and more perfumes come either in blue or opaque bottles and they help to preserve perfumes.

While choosing a smell, be sure you like it and not your friends or family. Try to remember, that each perfume has not less than 3 notes and often it takes half an hour to truly develop. 

Good luck and be sure, scents are extremely important in our lives. They can drive a person crazy or angry. So, be careful.
