FACT ABOUT PERFUME

Perfumes have been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture, and the first to place perfume into glass bottles. Soon after, the entire world began to see (and smell) that perfumes tickle the senses and evoke strong emotions.

Of course, perfumes have undergone many changes since the ancients first used them. Changing tastes and the development of modern chemistry have led to different and more elaborate perfume mixtures. Some perfumes now consist of more than 250 different ingredients.

Below are some other facts about perfumes that you may or may not have known:

--> The word perfume is of Latin descent, and comes from the phrase per fumum, which means “through smoke”.

--> Perfumes are a mixture of water, alcohol, and scents. The alcohol is a necessary ingredient, because without it, the scent would not emanate from the skin

--> Perfumes can be sorted into seven major categories: Greens, Florals, Aldehydics, Chypre, Oriental, Fougère, and Tobacco/Leather.

--> Perfumes can be graded according to strength. From strongest to weakest: Perfume, Eau De Parfum, Eau De Toilette and Eau De Cologne, Aftershave. The more perfume oils that a solution contains, the stronger it will be and the longer it will last.

--> An individual’s body chemistry determines what a perfume will smell like once it is applied to the skin. The same perfume can smell different depending on who is using it.

--> You should never test more than three different perfumes at once. If you do, the smells will become so complex, that it will be impossible for your nose to properly evaluate each scent.

--> Because perfume evaporates from the skin quickly, it may be necessary to reapply your scent every four hours.

--> To lengthen and strengthen the smell of your perfume, apply perfume, and then add a layer of lotion with no scent or a complimentary scent over top.

--> Perfume that is applied to places like the wrist, the neck, behind the ears, and crooks of arms will smell the strongest.

--> Perfume should be stored in a cool, dry place. If possible, keep open perfume stored within a box to lengthen the shelf life.

--> Most perfume manufacturers recommend disposing of perfume after one year, but perfume may last as long as two to five years when stored under the right conditions.

Bagaimana Mengenal Perfume Fake

assalam everyone!! just nak share this article untuk rujukan bersama. article ni saya ambil dr facebook Authentic Perfume. Jom baca!!

Hi,

Perfume boleh dikategorikan sebagai berlian."the moment you wear it is the best moment in your life. how could you ruin your moment by wearing the fake one"Dari membeli berlian yang palsu lebih baik tak perlu membeli langsung. Begitu juga perfume. Tak dinafikan ada antara kita yang memilih utk membeli yang palsu kerana faktor kewangan. ada juga yang tak dapat beza kan antara yang tulen dengan yang palsu.tulen atau palsu? terserah kepada empunya wang.

Kepada sesiapa yang pernah membeli perfume original dari SASA, PARKSON dll. tentu senang membezakan yang mana tulen dan yang mana palsu.perfume fake-- packagingnya selalu dari plastik. walau pun nampak macam besi. cuba ketuk atau rasa, ketuk bunyi plastik, dan rasa tak sejuk seperti besi.---dan dari segi bau. cuba spray dan fokuskan kepada notes yang keluar. apa yang pasti notes2 yang keluar tak akan sesempurna perfume asli.--selepas satu hari pemakaiannya, perfume fake akan mengeluarkan bau tengit. ini adalah kesan dr chemical yang digunakan tidak sama seperti perfume original--cuba perhatikan tulisan yang tertera di kotak atau di botol perfume. perhatikan kalau2 ada kesalahan ejaan. jika ada kesalahan ejaan itu adalah perfume fake. 'PARFUM' bukan PARFUME.--

harga. perfume fake slalunya akan menggunakan harga yang sama pada setiap botol yang dijual. contoh: semua price for 100ml Rm150 or etc. yang sebetulnya setiap harga adalah berbeza utk setiap saiz dan jenis. Dimana2 skali pun harga perfume akan berbeza mengikut saiz dan jenis. harga issey miyake 100ml takkan boleh sama dengan harga perfume britney 100ml. ini kerana harga perfume tertakluk kepada kelas nya masing2. skalipun perfume anda murah atau dibeli di kawasan bebas tax/cukai, tetapi masih perfume issey miyake akan lebih mahal dari perfume Britney. perfume Creed akan lebih mahal dari perfume issey miyake. perfume BOND.9 akan lebih mahal dr Creed. Dior akan lebih mahal dr perfume Jlo.--- jenis dan saiz. semua perfume fake banyak dikeluarkan dalam bentuk 100ml. padahal sesetengah perfume tidak ada bersaiz 100ml.cth issey miyake l'eau D'issey pour homme for men, saiz yang dikeluarkan adalah 200ml, 125ml, 75ml dan 30ml shaja. tak ada 100ml l'eau D'issey yang dikeluarkan. sila berhati2. maklumat ini boleh di dapat di dalam website brand tersebut atau dihttp://www.fragrantica.com/

Terlalu banyak perfume fake di jual secara online.Jika penjualnya jujur dan menerangkan yang perfumenya adalah perfume immitation/gred AAA, pasti mudah utk kita kenal itu adalah perfume fake. namun jika ada diantaranya yang membuatkan anda ragu.

kami ada beberapa langkah yang anda boleh ambil utk memastikannya.

1. cuba bandingkan koleksi perfume yang dijual dengan koleksi perfume yang dijual oleh perfume gred AAA adakah sama?

2. harganya

3. saiznya, adakah sama.

4. bertanya. cuba tanyakan jenis perfume yang lain. biasanya perfume fake mempunyai rangkaian perfume yang sangat limited.

harap2 maklumat ini dapat membantu

PERFUME TYPE

Everything You Should Know About Perfume!

Perfume | Parfum

Some perfumes may categorized as Perfume / Parfum. Perfume/parfum is the most high concentrate and can lasting for up to 8 hours. Perfume / Parfum also referred to as perfume extract, is the most concentrated formulation, and is usually the most expensive. It contains 15-30% aromatic compounds. Due to its high amount of aromatic compounds, it also tends to last the longest when applied to the skin. It is usually sold in small bottles of 1 ounce or less.

EDP - Eau De Perfume

Eau de parfum, also called eau de perfume or EDP, is the next most concentrated formula, and one of the most popular purchases. It consists of 10-15% aromatic compounds.

EDT - Eau De Toillete

Eau de toilette is also a popular choice, and is less expensive than the perfume or parfum formulations, although its scent will not last as long when applied to the skin. Eau de toilette contains 5-20% aromatic compounds.

Cologne / Eau De Cologne

Eau de Cologne originated in Cologne, Germany. Today, it is a generic term that defines a class of scented formulations by its typical concentration of about 2-5%. Cologne products are available for either men or women, and are sometimes mistaken for aftershave, which is actually a formula containing moisturizer, an antiseptic agent, and perfume. In addition, aftershave can be a gel, lotion, or liquid.

Here some of the facts on the lasting power of the perfume :

Perfume Parfum	Eau De Perfume (EDP)	Eau De Toillete (EDT)	Cologne (EDC)
5 - 8 hours	3 - 4 hours	2 hours	1 hour

The lasting power of perfume may differ according to your skin.

Aftershave

Aftershave describes a lotion, gel, balm, powder, or liquid used mainly by men after they have finished the act of shaving. It may contain an antiseptic agent such as denatured alcohol or stearate citrate to prevent infection from cuts. Menthol is used in some varieties as well to numb damaged skin, and it is an ingredient that shave cream manufacturers have started including in their formulations, too.

Tester

In some of our perfume list, you may find a perfume categorised as TESTER. What is it? A tester is a version of a fragrance that comes without the fancy, retail packaging. Tester versions come in the same bottle as the retail version and include the same amount and quality of fragrance. The testers you see on our website are direct from the manufacturer and have never been used. In most cases, a tester fragrance will come in a plain white or cardboard box. However, some designers will reduce production costs by distributing their tester products unboxed and without caps. By cap we mean the decorative top, the spray nozzle comes with all spray fragrances (e.g. aftershave or splash fragrances don't come with sprayers). So, there are four ways that a tester can be packaged and sold:


1. Boxed with a cap	2. Boxed without cap	3. Unboxed with a cap	4. Unboxed without a cap

The testers you see on our website are direct from the manufacturer and have never been used. If you do not care about the box and the cap, then tester version is suitable for you. Buying a tester can save your money. However, not all brands available with tester version.

Please remember that TESTER is not a rejected perfume! It was designed purposely for promotional.

If you like to save more on TESTER, we have a TESTER FIESTA where all TESTERs offered with big discount for a month! Wait for our announcement.

Boxed & Unboxed

Sometimes you can see our perfume stated with 'BOXED' and 'UNBOXED'. The above may explain what UNBOXED means - in other way it is a tester, even though some tester comes with plain or black and white box. The BOXED perfume is referring to the new perfume or perfume that you bought from perfume shop, easy to say, it is the retail perfume.
