Perfume Quotes

You can find and learn about yourself in scent. It is the shadow of a person's soul. Serge Lutens
Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.
"The quickest way to trigger an emotional response is with scent. Sigmund Freud
Capturing the flower, taking possession of its soul in order to transform it, is a way of uniting ourselves with the earth and of giving perfume its place in a mysterious and unique process...when perfume is worn by men and women, they ake on an essential role in this process. Jacques Polge
Perfume makes silence talk. Sonia Rykiel

Paloma Picasso or Panthere (still got some of this discontinued perfume left!).
I didn't know they were discontinued, do you mean both of them?

Dear Chaya,
Happy holidays!
Kisses, hugs and love back to you.
Hi Ivana,
What a lovely name you have.... If you like to make alcohol free perfume you could use jojoba oil as the basis of your perfume. Do you have essential oils? You can start with essential oils which are called 'base notes' such as sandal, pathouli, benzoin, vanilla etc these oils gives your perfume fixation. After that you can add the 'heart notes' these oils are for example geranium, ylang ylang, rose, jasmine, palmarosa, lavender, tuberose etc. Heart notes are mostly floral or herbal notes, but also spicy notes are in these catagory. To finish your perfume you can add some 'top notes', top notes are the first notes you smell if you smell a perfume, these notes do evaporate much faster than the heart and base notes. Some examples of top notes are manderin, grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, orange etc.
It's important to use essential oils of all stages, which belongs to the top-heart and -base notes. If you only would use essential oils which are 'base notes', your perfume will only be noticed if your nose is really close to your skin, it needs some more volatile essential oils to make it more noticable.
You could start with bergamot, orange, ylang ylang and
sandalwood,patchouli and benzoin for example. If you like to use vanilla you have to use only a tiny bit, it's better to dilute it before you use it, like a 10% solution.
