What are you looking for when you choose a perfume? Is it to attract attention or to be used for personal pleasure? Either way the beauty of its aroma will work in both situations.

Most perfumes come in a line. A line can consist of parfum, eau de parfum or eau de toilette. What's the difference? Parfum, real perfume, is a 15-20 percent blend of essential oils that have been diluted with 90-95 percent high-grade alcohol. Anything less is considered eau or water.

A line can also include body lotions, soaps, bath salts, body mist and body oils. When a line gives you this many offerings, it allows you to have what's known as a scent wardrobe. With a scent wardrobe you layer one on top of the other enhancing the beauty of the perfume and its expression when you wear it.

Looking for a Real Experience with Perfume?

A small boutique where the owners sell their own creation of perfumes is bound to give you a great experience. You can purchase in small batches and experiment with different scents.

When you're looking to test a new perfume there are a few tips to consider before you purchase:

* Always test perfume on your skin, not your girlfriend’s skin. Some companies provide blotters, they’re fine for an initial whiff but the true essence will emerge when you try a perfume on your skin.

* Never test after you've eaten strongly flavored foods, like garlic or spicy foods.

*Never test after a vigorous workout

*If you're ill or haven't quite recovered wait to test a new perfume, your body chemistry is not yet balanced.

*Never test a perfume if you've just been smoking.

*When testing a perfume, spray it on one of your wrist but do not rub them together. The rubbing causes a chemical breakdown of the scent and you'll loose its pure essence. Leave the other wrist to sample a different scent. You'll be surprised at the scent your body gives from each wrist.
