Online Discount Perfume and Cologne Fragrance

The first step involved in shopping for perfume or cologne is to examine the scent category. Floral fragrances consist of large variety of flowers such as roses, jasmine, lily of the valley and many others. They are sometimes mixed with hints of other subtle scents such as vanilla to create a well balanced lighter fragrance that is perfect for a romantic evening or starry night. Floral fragrances are the largest group to choose from. The citrus fragrances contain a blend of fruits such as lime, tangerine, lemon and mandarin, creating very refreshing aromas. These fragrances are mostly worn during the evening, or in the office. Oriental fragrances derive from mixture of spices, resins, amber, balsams and other exotic aromas. These fragrances are widely used for winter evenings.

When many people think of good scented perfume, they think "that must cost money." However, there are many companies that now that specialize in buying and selling discount perfumes that are virtually the same as what you will find in high priced department stores.

Discount perfume can be a great way to have a fragrance that is popular without spending tons of your hard earned cash. These companies are very easy to purchase from, as many of them have internet stores where the items are readily available.

A quick look-up on a search engine will help produce the discount cologne products a person is looking for. A person can type in the specific perfume they are looking for and several internet stores will quickly appear that will offer the special fragrance at a discounted price.

The perfect places where you should spray your cologne are all the open areas. Among those areas, there are some of the areas that produce body heat. These spots are just perfect place to spray your cologne. Ideal places for wearing cologne are wrist, armpit, neck back side of ears etc. So when you spray on these areas, the smell will not fade away so easily and it can give you the best results.

Our bodies can become sedated, stimulated or relaxed by the action of certain oils.

Pain may be relieved, wounds may heal, inflammation and spasms may cease.

The fragrance of the oil also travels by way of the olfactory nerve pathways directly to the limbic system in the central portion of the brain where emotions are stored. This area is known as the amygdala and it plays a major role in storing and releasing emotional trauma. Science is now saying that fragrance is the most direct route to clearing emotional traumas.

Essential oils can assist in the removal of potentially harmful chemicals (free-radicals) produced in the body during cellular and tissue metabolism. They can play the role of detoxing the body of free-radicals as well as removing petrochemicals taken in our bodies through our food, water and air.

Perfumes from natural odorants like sandalwood or musk were preferred. In today`s world due to illegal trafficking and species endangerment, natural odorants are replaced by synthetic aromatics. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Aromas like musk from natural ingredients are extremely complex and have been impossible to imitate through synthetic aromatics like nitro-musks or macrocyclic musks. On the other hand, synthetic aromas like ozone, marine, metallic, etc., have no parallel olfactory relationship in the natural odorants.

There are three major types of perfume for fans to choose from. They are the Oriental class, which is rich and bold in its varieties; the floral class, which is flowery and feminine; and the chypre class, which tends to involve the clean-scented perfumes. Before even shopping for cheap perfumes, pick from these classes.

Once a main class has been decided upon, there are key words to look for when examining cheap perfumes. Orientals will often be described as musky, spicing, bold or sensual in their body of scent. The floral types are pretty easy to pick out. Chypre variety perfumes might be touted as clean, sporty, aquatic or woodsy by design.

Locate discount cologne that have earned reputations for fitting the bill you're looking for and then try out the samples on for size. If a perfume smells especially great in the bottle and there are no samples available, consider going for it. Remember, though, that not all perfumes, cheap or expensive, smell as good after an hour of wear as they do in the bottle. This can be due to the perfume itself or its reaction with a person's own chemical makeup.

For those who won't settle for anything other than high-end, brand names, there are some cheap fragrance options open. The reality is some of the most expensive perfumes can have lower dilution formulas available that cost less, but still give off the signature scent.

Perfume itself is considered the purest and strongest of the scent concentrations. In an actual perfume, the amount of fragrance oils can be as high as 40 percent. This is where the real high pricing comes into play.

It is common practice when buying a perfume is to visit the fragrance counter and spray different scents on different parts of your body so you can compare them. We suggest you avoid this because after two or three applications your olfactory responses (that's your smell and taste senses) can easily be confused and your brain will be remembering and blending previous sniffs rather than sampling new ones. Secondly, how are you going to remember which you sprayed where. If you are going live shopping, we suggest you do something more like this.

Use fragrance blotters to gather your samples of different scents. These are small porous cards and are usually available at the perfume counter. Once you've sprayed the card you can write the name of the fragrance on the reverse side, that way you can identify the fragrance when you need to, and you can more readily compare the different aromas.

All fragrances take a few minutes to develop once they've been exposed to the atmosphere. Allow a few little time after it's been applied before sniffing the perfume. To overcome nose fatigue (confusion of the olfactory), leave the smelling alone for a while and take in some fresh air, or smell something that carries your own body odour (armpit of your shirt sleeve for example). Sometimes eating a mint can refresh your olfactory senses.

Try to narrow your selection to two or three fragrances and then spray some on your skin, making a point to remember what you sprayed where. Now you need to go and do something else. You need to remove yourself from the perfumery (too many other smells in the air) and take your mind off the fragrance shopping altogether.

Let ten or fifteen minutes go by and then smell those parts of your skin that you sprayed. Let your gut reaction tell you which is the most effective, relative to the reason you are buying the fragrance.
