That Heavenly Scent - Why Women Love It and Buy It

There are so many wonderful things about perfume.It is something that most women adore and cannot do without in their daily routine. Ancient civilizations used scent in all kinds of daily activities, religious rituals as well as for romance. Generally the sense of smell is a powerful one, and stimulates us in every way.The popularity of perfume and aromatherapy drives this point home. The abundance of discount perfume websites that have popped up online in recent years also illustrates the demand in the market place for fragrance, sites like, women’s discount perfume shop are attracting millions of shoppers who want the best in perfume without paying a huge retail price tag.

Scientists who research the sense of smell have yet to figure out exactly what it is that makes it so stimulating to the brain. Whatever the scientific reasons maybe, perfume is a favorite and a good scent is surely cherished and welcomed. Perfume is truly magical, as it can enhance and create a mood as if it is magic. Whatever its use, it has, does and always will make a woman feel special. There are lots of reasons to love perfume.

Throughout history the French perfumes were favored and considered exclusive. Right now US perfume makers and the latest trend in celebrity scents, most of which are US based, force the French to share in the huge marketplace of perfume. A good example of this is the perfumes from Donna Karan. A great way to find your favorite type of scent is to visit your local fine department store. You will find every kind of fine perfume on display and you can smell them, try them on and decide which ones you like best.

While there are some women who do not care for it, which is rare, most every woman has a scent she loves and it makes a great gift for Christmas. Moms, sisters, grandmas, wives, or girlfriends all love perfume as gifts.

Burberry Fragrances

Burberry fragrances are inspired by the classic and elegant image of the Burberry apparel. Each scent radiates a unique pulsating energy. It’s crisp, urbane, dynamic and naturally fresh. Burberry epitomizes the finer things in life. The black, red and white plaid design a.k.a. the Haymarket check is one of the most imitated brands in the industry today.

In 1856, British designer Thomas Burberry established the Burberry label. Starting off as a single shop in Haymarket, London, the company has achieved unparalleled success in fashion clothing, perfumes and accessories. The company is also a recipient of the Royal Warrants granted by the British Royal Family.

The first Burberry perfume, Burberry Men, was introduced in 1995. After its successful debut, women’s fragrances followed: Burberry Touch Perfume for Women, Burberry Weekend and Burberry Tender Touch. More fragrances were released in the years thereafter. The most recent perfumes to join the group are Burberry Summer Men and Burberry Summer Women.

Here are some of the top-selling perfumes from the Burberry perfume collection:

Burberry Brit
The fragrance is a creative blend of the classic and the dynamic lifestyle of modern living. The Burberry Brit contains Italian lime, icy pear, green almond, white peony, sugared almonds, amber, mahogany, vanilla and Tonka bean. The fragrance was introduced in 2008 and was created by perfume designer Natalie Gracia-Cetto.

Burberry Brit Red
Another masterpiece by Natalie Gracia-Cetto, the Burberry Brit Red fragrance exudes  a more edgy attitude. It’s provocative, more scintillating. The top notes features jasmine, orange blossoms and rhubarb. The heart boasts the intensity of red rose, gingerbread and patchouli, while the base is made of benzoin, sandalwood, and vanilla bean.

Burberry Perfume for Women
A refreshing scent coupled with a familiar warmth, Burberry Perfume for Women combines the fruity accords of peach, apricot and marigold. Black currant, sandalwood and cedar form the middle notes while the base is composed of jasmine, vanilla and musk. Perfume users tout it as a comforting scent especially during winter season.

Burberry Cologne for Men
Burberry Men is dominated by wood accords such as sandalwood, jasmine and cedar. Musk and vanilla accords caps off the base notes. It’s the classic masculine scent: citrusy sweet at first then woody in the dry down. Sillage is good; longevity is more than average. This cologne is perfect for daytime.

Burberry Touch for Women
Burberry Touch for Women combines rose oil, jasmine, tuberose, vanilla and cedar wood. Subtle and modern, infused with fruity-floral accords.

Burberry Touch for Men
Burberry Touch for Men is an exciting blend of rich florals and bold woodsy accords of violet leaf. It marries mandarin, oak moss, vetiver, white musk and Tonka bean. Perfume designer Jean-Pierre Bethouart created this fragrance in 2000. It’s an easy going, fresh fragrance that never gets old.

What is Your Fashion Statement?

Perfumes are a fashion style and also express your taste and reflect your mood. The clothes that you were with the combination of perfume can make or break a fashion statement. A nice floral scented perfume can even change the mood of the people surrounding you and attract others towards you. There are perfumes both for men and women. Women’s perfume should accentuate her femininity and enhance her character. Men’s perfumes should reflect their character and enhance their personality.

You can use armani mania cologne or a Calvin Klein perfume or some other brand on yourself. But, it is very important to find those perfumes which will reflect your personality. There is no general rule that a specific perfume is suitable for everyone. There are quite a few number of fragrances that are available for you to choose from. You could go for a fruity perfume or a woody, oriental fragrance. And a perfume does not have any age barrier. Anyone can use a perfume, but, the perfume should match the personality. When a perfume is sprayed, it reacts with the oils in the skin giving out a specific scent that is unique to a person.

Some technical information about the perfumes. There are top, middle and bottom notes in a perfume. The top notes are the ones that you smell immediately after you spray the perfume and then the middle notes and then the bottom notes. You need to smell all the scents before deciding to purchase a perfume. If you are buying the perfume for someone else other than you, then, you will have to do some guess work to asses which perfume would match the person’s personality whom you are presenting the perfume as a gift.

But, be careful when you are using more than one perfume. I have seen people using more than 2 perfumes and completely ruining the fragrance. Sometimes the combination may result in something quite unique and fabulous. So, if you do not know what kind of perfumes to use, then, you should ask for an expert or some one who has experience with perfumes.
