Perfume is a scented liquid worn on the skin to impart a pleasant odor. Perfume has been used throughout history for a variety of reasons. Remember perfume reflects your personality and keeps your presence alive even in your absence. If you want that tempting smell to remain around you, apply perfume every 4 hours.
Perfume has always been a vital part of human culture; people have perfumed their hair and bodies with oils, resins, flower and herb extracts and animal scents since earliest history. Wearing scent is pleasurable, it is an expression of individuality it attracts mates and makes us nice to be close to. Perfumes are more for the wearer they make us feel wonderful. Perfume has proved itself to be a valuable commodity in both ancient and modern times, with the modern perfume industry turnover in its billions every year. Perfume is a luxury, rather than a necessity, and yet its popularity grows rather than wavers every year.
Pure perfume is rarely sold, since it is prohibitively expensive and, frankly, far too easy to ‘overdo’. Eau du Cologne and toilet water are more lightly scented perfume products. Originally, Eau du Cologne referred to a specific citrus-floral blend made in Cologne, Germany, which had a lighter scent and could be applied more liberally. It was a type of toilet water, which has 5-15% aromatic compound, but over time, the term became generic for and interchangeable with toilet water.
