Fragrance FactsWhat is the difference between Perfume, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne? The differences are simply a matter of the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. These oils are called "juice." The highest concentration of "juice" is in perfume (or parfum). Next would be Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and finally Eau de Cologne. Actually, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne are generally interchangeable, particularly in Men's fragrances. After Shave has the least amount of oils. The higher the concentration of "juice" the longer your fragrance will last, and the less you need to apply. Fragrance Storage and Longevity
With proper storage and usage, a quality cologne will last between five
and seven years. To keep your fragrance as fresh and perky as your sexy
bottom, follow SharpMan.com’s tips: According to fragrance experts, cologne should be stored in a manner similar to wine. No, you don’t have to leave it on its side in a rack in your basement; simply avoid exposing it to heat, sunlight, and air. A bathroom cabinet or counter is fine, as long as the counter isn’t exposed to direct sunlight. Also, keep the fragrance in its box if you plan to wait a while before using it Modern Parfumery 1860 – 1900Towards
the end of the 19th century, the fragrance industry increasingly
targeted women belonging to the middle class. The first synthetic
fragrance ingredients made their appearance. The Second Empire was marked by a brief yet excessive infatuation with vetiver and patchouli. This fad came to an end during the latter part of the 19th century when the emergence of a strong middle class brought about a more refined taste in fragrance. The trade of luxury goods blossomed and perfumery was increasingly viewed as an art. New and original fragrance notes such as coumarin, heliotropine, vanillin, ionone and the first aldehydes - created through the brand-new process of chemical synthesis - caused an olfactory revolution. It was the birth of modern perfumery. More Tips
