What You Ought To Know About Perfumes, Scents & Fragrances

Saturday, June 26th, 2010
by Fred Martimes

The use of scents and perfumes has been quite prevalent from time immemorial. There was a time when peoples used natural and flower based perfumes to smell alluring so that they could attract the opposite sex effectively.

Whenever we refer to perfumes for men and women we are talking about two different things since they cater to two different genders. These perfumes should have some unique characteristics based on the gender.

It can be seen that the perfumes used by men are mostly strong and durable. This is probably because of the fact that women get attracted to men for these masculine qualities and is reflected in the perfume as well.

When we talk about perfumes for men and women, the ones for women are generally lighter, daintier and probably floral by nature. All these qualities are quite capable of attracting men given the fact that men are generally attracted to such feminine characteristics.

There is also a difference in which these scents as well as perfumes are marketed. You will find that the ads and the promotions are all handled very differently too. This is because all of it has to be done keeping in mind the differences that exist between the genders.

If you look in stores you will also see that perfumes for men and women are mostly displayed differently and sometimes in different sections too. There are many such ways in which the sales can be impacted quite positively.

Perfumes appeal to special sensors in the brain. These are very important factors that have to do with the psychological aspect of perfumery that has been well researched over the years and also applied very effectively.

If you want to know more about perfumes for men and women as well as get info on these, you would do well to look online.

Fragrance House Review

Friday, June 25th, 2010
by James Lunden

When you hear a name like Fragrance House, it makes you think that the business only sells fragrances. However, specialty shops don’t tend to do very well in this day and age — as everyone wants to be able to get multiple products all in one place. The Fragrance House website has many health and beauty items available for men, women and children.

You can find almost any fragrance or beauty product you’re looking for on the Fragrance House site, including “inspired” fragrances for those out there that want a fragrance that smells like designer scents, without paying top dollar E.g., Tommy Girl, or Boss Woman. That isn’t to say their top name fragrances are expensive: I just recently bought my boyfriend a Versace Fragrance Kit, which included: cologne, after-shave balm, and a refreshing wake up moisturizer, for under $60.

Their shipping was fast and painless: I received my package in 5 days, two of them being business days.

When you click on to the Fragrance House website you’ll find it extremely easy to navigate, with everything well organized and broken up by category, brand, etc. The selection was second to none, as far as I was concerned.

They have a huge selection of everything you’re looking for including: Women’s Fragrances, Men’s Fragrances, Gift Sets (Like the Versace kit I got for my boyfriend), Bath & Body selections, Skin Care, Kids & Teens, all of those choices being competitively priced with other online retailers.

Taking a look at the Fragrance House designer fragrances you can find name brands like: Red Door, Dunhill, DKNY, Chloe, Gucci, Tommy, Knowing, Poison, and many other top selling names.

Mind you: If you buy one of their gift sets, you’ll surely save a good chunk of money. They have a Jessica McClintock fragrance set which includes moisturizer and perfume for under $50. Buying those two items separate at a retail store would set you back at least $70, so the savings should be immediately obvious.

The savings are always out there, if you take a look around the Internet, you can almost surely find coupon codes flying around somewhere, without much effort. It’s important to note they were recently voted # 1 in shipping and customer service by InterWebs Marketing Co. — an Internet governing body, which rates online stores based on customer reviews and feedback.

The Fragrance House is willing to take your order 24 hours a day, and offers next day shipping on all of their products. If you sign up for their free online flyer you can keep up on the deals they always have running also: I can click on to the Fragrance House website on any given day and see at least 10 promotions, along with the available online coupons that are available. The website also has a cool “Gift Guide” feature, that lets you search for gifts under $25, $50, and $100 if your on a set budget.

I highly recommend these guys, though I have only ordered the Versace kit for my partner, but I’m planning on ordering more, and I’ll be sure to look around for an online coupon before I do. Check out the Fragrance House website if you’re interested. The products and shipping come with a satisfaction guarantee, so you have nothing to lose and everything to save.

Scentiments Review

Thursday, June 24th, 2010
by James Lunden

Scentiments started as a storefront, brick and mortar business decades ago. Since 1996, they’ve been bringing their service to customers via the internet, and smashing other online store’s pricing. You can find almost anything you’re looking for in men and women fragrances, skin care, and various gift sets.

Orders are taken either online, or over the phone (your choice), and they offer free shipping to the United States on orders that are over $75.00.

I ordered my a bottle of “Chanel No.5″ on February 1st, and received my order on February 6th. When I got the product opened it was just as advertised. It was really wonderful to get exactly what I ordered, super fast, and at a significant saving over retail. Anyone reading this in the United States should consider that they offer free shipping when you get more than $75 worth of product. I’m very satisfied.

I thought when I ordered my bottle of “Dior Addict” that the price was way too low to be real. My package arrived less than a week later and sure enough…It was real. There is no place I can think of where I would have bought it for the price I did ($49.99) without getting some cheap knock-off.

When I saved nearly $15 dollars on my bottle of Ralph Lauren “Polo”. Sure enough though, it arrived quickly, and was exactly as described. Why anyone would waste their valuable time going out to a fancy store, just to spend more is beyond me. My wife was surprised to, and she has her eye on a few of your deals right now. You made a customer out of us.

I’m quite impressed not only with the free shipping I received to my home, but with the customer service. I wanted to purchase for my wife some Versace perfume, but did not know if you guys were providing me with the right deal. Your phone representative Charlotte directed me to the Versace website, and some major retailers websites to see what value you people are offering. I’m more than satisfied with your service.

The proof of the amazing service is from the great feedback they receive daily. Scentiments representatives are ready to answer your questions and take your order 24/7, seven days a week. Beside the great deals that are always running — they’re constantly running promotions to make you a happy customer. They’ve been online since 1996, and will be here for a long time to come.

FragranceX Review

Thursday, June 24th, 2010
by James Lunden

FragranceX has a long-standing reputation for bringing its customers the best smelling fragrance infused products found on the market. Not only the best smelling fragrances, but the most affordably priced as well. With a selection ranging from mens & womens fragrances, soaps, skincare, and makeup.

With name brand perfumes, after-shaves, and colognes from: Calvin Klien, Liz Claiborne, Dolce & Cabbana, and Giorgio Armani to name a few — you know you’re getting the very best brands at rock bottom prices. FragranceX also carries trusted skin care brands as well with: Academie, Acra, American Crew, Anna Sui, Biotherm, Chanel, Beverly Hills, and more — we’ve set the standard for others to have so much available in one place.

Cosmetic lines available to FragranceX include: CSC Kosmetics, Gale Hayman, Gatineau, Givenchy, Helena, Rubenstein, J-Lo, Joan Rivers, and Lancome to name a few.

I stocked up on “White Diamonds”, “Cool Water Perfume”, and some amazingly scented “Carla Fracci Soap” for the holidays. The product came quickly, and as always: Was exactly what I ordered. FragranceX is legit, while also being affordable. My family and friends are now customers also. Not only does FragranceX sell named brand perfumes, colognes and soaps…but they also sell wonderful smelling soaps and body cleansing products. I really love the Agua Lavanda soap, it just smells like nature in a bottle and really perks me up first thing in the morning.

They have thousands of customers in North America, and many more world-wide. With a money-back guarantee on all products, along with recent award-winning customer service, they refuse to be outdone. I love being able to buy everything I need all in one place. I’m a Calenche soap addict, and order at least four times a year. To make things even more appealing, I can buy my favorite designer fragrances, and body wash online at FragranceX to. It’s unbelievable, but they really do have everything related to smelling good all on one website. I hate having to go into ‘girly’ stores to buy gifts for my girlfriend. I know it’s no big deal to most people, but there is just something weird about the whole thing for me. My girl loves Machia, and you guys delivered super quick.

Excellent Gift Colognes For Men

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010
by Emily Fisher

I’ve always been a sucker for a nicely scented cologne. My boyfriend always jokes with me that it’s his cologne that originally drew me to him. Maybe it was. I do remember letting him know that he smelled good when I first met him. He’s worn the same few fragrances ever since, and I still love them all to this day.

I’m here to help you figure out which cologne might be the best option if you’re in search of a gift for your significant other. While I could go on for days with a list that he’d enjoy, I’m going to limit it to just a short few here. I think any one of these should do the trick.

The first cologne I’d suggest getting is Dark Blue, by Hugo Boss. This is a greatly underrated cologne that’s been around since the earlier part of the decade, and carries a nice, light fragrance with notes of fruit that isn’t overbearing by any means.

The bottle is a darker color. Can you guess which one that might be? If there’s any cologne that I had to compare the smell of it to, I’d say that it resembles Polo Sport with a little more spice.

After this, I’m going to recommend Blue Jeans, a Versace cologne. This one is a bit less neutral in the sense that the scent is a little stronger. I’d probably call it sweet. I’ve seen both guys and girls go crazy for this one.

If you don’t like something sweet, you might want to look into Dark Blue or the next cologne on my list. This is probably an acquired taste, and if it’s not to your liking, you should definitely avoid it.

Finally, I believe that Armani Code is a greatly underrated cologne that I think would be a hit with your boyfriend. I absolutely love this cologne and I think that you most likely will too.

Though I could go on forever with more options, I think this is a great start. Try one of these out and you’ll be well on your way in my opinion. Your boyfriend should give these all high marks, and you’ll have a happy man on your hands.

Perfume Country Review

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
by James Lunden

Perfume Country has all of the following brands and more. Take a look at my review of these popular perfumes and colognes.

Women’s Deals
Regines by Regines for Women – At under $40, Perfume Country has a great deal in store for you. This perfume has a light, airy smell that really hits the pleasure center of the the brain. Recommended

Poeme by Lancome for Women -This stuff retails for $70 and up. Perfume Country has it for under $50. The name is quite fitting as the scent has a wispy way of reaching out and gently grabbing passersby, while lightly lingering in a room afterward. Recommended

Volupte by Oscar De La Renta for Women – This perfume rings in at under $40 and rightly so. I can’t rightly recommend this stuff, as the scent is just a little too pungent for my tastes. My husband actually agrees with me saying it was just a little too strong, and their was something he couldn’t quite put his finger on that turned him off. Not Recommended.

Obsession by Calvin Klein for Women – This is another lower priced Perfume Country offer, that is under $40. Unlike the Volupte, I would have to say this trademark scent is a little under-priced. Obsession is a strong scent, that doesn’t overwhelm like a musk would. Highly Recommended

Eternity Purple Orchid by Calvin Klein for Women – Perfume Country is currently advertising a 40% off sale on this perfume right now. It’s an OK scent. I personally wouldn’t wear it because it is a somewhat “flowery” scent, which I don’t tend to wear. However, I’ll recommend it for the price and because I don’t hate it — I just wouldn’t personally wear it. Recommended

Men’s Deals
Joop Rococco by Joop for Men – There is a massive blow out going on with this stuff right now. Perfume Country is selling it at 70% off their regular price. This is a real “classy” smell for a man, yet not over-powering. Highly Recommended

Fahrenheit by Christian Dior for Men – I have always loved this Christian Dior cologne. It really makes me go wild when I smell it on a man and I always recognize it. This stuff smells amazing. Highly Recommended

Jaguar by Jaguar for Men – Jaguar is a name that most people will recognize and it smells OK. It isn’t my thing, but it isn’t the worst smell either. I’m sort of neutral when it comes to this cologne. Neutral

Desire by Dunhill for men – Another so so male fragrance in my books. The name “Desire” is in my mind a little deceptive, however it’s only one woman’s opinion. It’s a cheap cologne and the price fits the quality in my book. This stuff would make for just as good an after-shave if you ask me. Not Recommended

Mambo by Liz Claiborne – Like the Desire, Mambo is a lower priced cologne at Perfume Country. I actually really love this stuff and feel it could sell for much more. It’s a light, yet powerful smell that draws you in quickly. Not over-whelming, yet very strong at the same time. Under $40. Recommended

Nautica by Nautica – Nautica is another product sold at Perfume Country that could fetch a higher price. I don’t know if it’s the name, or the sea-inspiring smell — however, I always feel like going sailing when I’m around this cologne.

Cheap Perfume Bottles Online

Monday, June 21st, 2010
by Jenny Mccarthy

You can find a wide variety of selection and savings when it comes to perfume, however there are many people that do not think they can afford designer perfumes that have well known labels. Therefore, if you know the right places to search you will not have this problem. Finding and buying cheap perfume bottles does not mean that they will only be an off brand that are knock off or imitations of another perfume product. There are many brand names in certain places that are being sold for discount perfume prices.

So, exactly how should a person go about finding discount perfume? If you are up for traveling to a store location you can always stop in at a discount department store. Stores like this carry in stock designer clothes, discount perfume and designer perfume, and also a few household goods. Many of these stores will give you the opportunity to buy cheap perfume bottles that are much lower than the products normal prices. However, shopping in stores like this also has the advantage of you being able to try out the scent on the spot before you buy it.

You might be a person that already has some brand name labels in mind and if so, you may want to try searching for cheap perfume bottles online. Within a few minutes of searching you will surely notice that there are many shops that have the perfume you are looking for. Some of these discount perfume bottles were only used once or twice as a test bottle at a store, and other than that they are pretty much new.

The you may have a question being repeated in your head that sounds like ” Just how is it that I can find cheap perfume bottles of designer perfume when the same perfume is being sold at other expensive department stores for a higher price?”. You need to keep in mind that there are many people out there who have boat loads of money and do not have anything to really do with it. So they enjoy spending a lot of money different items simply because they can.

Also, there are stores that somehow end up with a large surplus of certain brand name perfumes. They can’t possible sell them all before the designers come out with a new fragrance for the season. High end stores are known for keeping up with the most current fragrances. This means that they will sometimes sell the cheap perfume bottles online for a discounted price, just to move the stock. Their loss is your gain.

Yard sales and garage sales can be very good places to find cheap perfume bottles that have designer labels. There are many times when a women will receive a perfume bottle as a gift and if she is not so crazy about the smell then she will put it back in the box to sell at a garage sale to earn a few bucks from it.

As you can see, there are many different ways you can find yourself designer fragrances for a fraction of the cost of what they normally go for. Why spend more money on the perfume than you have to? For the price of one bottle of the designer perfume at a high end department store, you can purchase two or three discounted designer scents online or at local sales. If you want to make sure that you are getting the most for your money, you want to make sure that you are really shopping around.

Of course, you will need to watch out for inflated shipping costs. When deciding whether or not you are truly getting a good value, you will want to make sure that you are adding the shipping costs to the purchase price of the cheap perfume bottles. Only then will you be able to determine whether or not you are really getting a good deal.

Whenever you do find a cheap method of buying cheap perfume bottles, you might as well buy while the buying is good and stock up on future presents for holidays or birthdays. There are many holidays wherein perfume can be given as a gift so be smart and thin ahead of yourself when you see a good deal on cheap perfume bottles. Not only does this save you some coin, but it also makes a good impression on the one receiving the gift.
