Not life changing, but certainly emotional. I do love a good perfume and because it takes me back in time to all the major ages and stages in my life when I smell one I no longer wear. My top ones at the moment are: Elie Saab (going out), Creed Virgin Island Water (special occasions) and Shiseido Zen (everyday).<\/p>\n<p>Parfum is the strongest type of fragrance you can buy; it normally comes in a 7.5ml bottle without a spray. Chanel does a range of these. Next you have the Eau De Parfum or EDP; this typically lasts six hours once sprayed and is my personal favourite. Eau De Toilette is the one that lasts around four hours and is lighter and sometimes slightly different to the EDP. Summer Fragrances then typically have no alcohol in them and are suitable for the summer; alcohol makes your skin more photosensitive so avoid wearing EDP by the pool.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for choosing a new perfume:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">If it is a wedding day fragrance you are choosing, try something romantic and floral like Chanel\u2019s Allure, Calvin Klein\u2019s Eternity or Romance by Ralph Lauren. If you like heavier or sexier scents try Gucci\u2019s Premiere or Armani\u2019s Code.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Don\u2019t go and try fifteen scents at once. This will confuse you not to mention give you a headache, try two or three and make a decision based over a few days. The smell of coffee beans clears your nose and gets you ready for your next scent experience,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Don\u2019t buy into the latest designer fragrance just because you have the matching handbag!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Ask advice, tell the sales consultant what you normally like and she will help you narrow down your search.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">As a rule if you work in an office or small space it is courteous to your co-worker\u2019s not to drown yourself in perfume and to perhaps choose the Eau De Toilette by day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Ask for a sample and try it out, see if people compliment you on it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Follow these tips and you will smell amazing!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>{Image from: <a title=\"Veiter Aromatics\" href=\"http:\/\/vetiveraromatics.com\/\">Vetiver Aromatics<\/a>}<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a title=\"Glamity Jane\" href=\"http:\/\/glamityjane.wordpress.com\/\">Glamity Jane<\/a>\u00a0is a product addict, real girl, glamour guru and is so focused on the inside as well as the outside!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perfume\u2026.Choosing it can be hard but choose the wrong one and you will be reaching for the Panadol!
