And well is not to have fun the festival but to indicate to butineuses that they located a field of flowers! They carry out a dance in form from "8" compared to the axis of the sun! And, more the figure is large, more the field is distant !!!
Jasmine after the physical effort !
Researchers of Université of Virginia (the USA) proved the benefits of the odor of the essential oil of jasmine on recovery after the effort. Some drops on a towel around the neck are enough so that the pulse of runner, which 10 minutes after a race displayed 74 pulsations/minute normally, displays nothing any more but 70 of them.

The Cyprus agreement is one of oldest in perfumery. One finds the term of Cyprus in treaties of perfumery of the XVIIème century and it is probable that it existed already at the Hellenistic period of Greece. In the beginning, the composition of Cyprus or Cypre rested on Labdanum, Tyrax, the powder of Liken and the Water of Rose, this composition will vary with time. In 1917, Coty modernized it by adding notes of synthesis and will launch its perfume "Chypre" which will have an enormous success. He will make to this agreement the leader of this great family which gathers perfumes based mainly on agreements of: Foam of Oak, Cist Labdanum, Patchouli, Bergamot, etc...
Anti-mosquito : The mosquitoes hate and flee the odour of certain essential oils: lemon grass, basil, rose geranium and peppermint push back them without poisoning them!
The lilac - an imperceptible fragrance!
The lilac survives without almost any care until becoming centenary and distils a single and heady perfume. In France, its capital is not Paris, but Nancy. The lilac owes the essence of its success with its perfume, which forms part of the floral notes known as green, with odours of sap. A peppered note characterizes the mauve flowers and the white flowers by a softer and creamy perfume.
One does not cultivate the lilac for his perfume because one cannot extract it from the flower, contrary to the rose. In perfumery, the scents of lilac are reconstituted starting from various natural or synthetic substances.
Lavender : Perfume of the South of France
The three kinds of lavender which exist in France are: maritime lavender (Lavandula stoechas), true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia ou officinalis) and the lavender aspic (Lavandula latifolia). As for the lavandin (Lavandula hybrida), it is a sterile hybrid resulting from the crossing, by the action of pollen-gathering insects transporting pollen, of the true lavender and the lavender aspic. One will spontaneously find the lavandin in the intermediate zone where the two parents coexist.
The lavender will agreeably scent your fruit salads, ices and blanks.
An essential oil bottle of lavender is useful in the first-aid kit of holidays. It is effective against the insect bites and the sunstrokes.
Lavender comes from Latin lavare, who wants to say to wash! The Romans added it to their detergent from where also the origin of the word lavender field.
In the family of "sweet-smelling" geraniums, most widespread is the rosat géranium (Pelargonium graveolens). Its leaf containing an essential oil (the geraniol), whose odor points out that of the slightly mentholated rose, is largely used in perfumery and in soap factory because its cost is quite lower than that of the rose oil.
The rosat geranium is originating in Africa, Egypt and China. It was introduced in Europe at the XVIIe century. There are some currently more than 700 species, very sweet-smelling for the majority. It is also one of most attractive by its flowers.
SIts essential oil is also used for the care of the skin. It has healing, astringent and anti-infectious properties, it is also particularly indicated to look after the cutaneous, vaginal and digestive mycoses. This very general-purpose gasoline is still recommended against the diabetes like calming the system sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic....
In kitchen, its gasoline will flavour your desserts, teas and drinks....
And, well-sure, it will push back the insects and in particular the mosquitos!!!
In perfumery, two different processes can be used to extract natural fragrance materials : steam distillation or extraction with volatile solvents..
Steam distillation produces an essential oil or essence.
Extraction with volatile solvents produces an absolute.
"Azzaro Homme" already 24 years

A perfume with two noses :
For the creation of Balmya, the last perfume of Balmain, the company called upon two noses: Jean Jacques and Alexandra Jouet Moneger.
All the perfumes are not appropriate to us!
To be sure not to be mistaken, one chooses it according to his type of skin. For example : the matt ones prefer the dense, wooded and spiced fragrances which do not deteriorate the acid pH. The dry and fine skins, they, put up better with floral or fruity notes.
The patchouli oil must age out of barrels during several months in order to lose its rough perfume, which would be likely to deteriorate the fragrances of them.
One needs 330 kg of sheets of patchouli to manufacture 1 liter of essence, obtained by distillation of the dry sheets after fermentation.
In the Eastern countries, the essential oil of patchouli is used against the bites of snakes and the punctures of mosquito. It protects also the linen against the mites: to pour some drops on the gates of the cupboards and in the drawers.
Some perfumes containing of the patchouli : J'ai Osé Guy Laroche, Pasha Cartier, Héritage end Habit Rouge Guerlain, Pleasures Estée Lauder, Initiation Molyneux, Eternity Calvin Klein, Miss Dior Christian Dior, Miss Balmain Pierre Balmain, Magie Noir Lancôme......
In Malaysia, it is usual to offer to the husbands, the day of their weddings, a liquor aphrodisiac based on alcohol where sheets of patchouli macerated. The husbands must pretend to drink it, to prove as well as they do not have no need for aphrodisiac that to avoid an intoxication, because, badly proportioned, this "liquor of love" can be mortal !
Our skin represents largest of our bodies with a surface, which does not make less than two square meters and a total weight of approximately 4 kilos! Its role is very important it protects us from all the external aggressions in particular of pollution, the ultraviolet rays and the cold. It is thus necessary to be for the small care with it!
Usually, we tell "to "wear" a perfume. As a general rule, " extract of perfume ", product extremely concentrated, « eau de parfum » should put itself in dotted line, and as if one drew a line on the skin. As regards " eau de Cologne ", one can put it on one more large surface of skin.
The jasmine is called "king" and rose, "queen" of the numerous flowers from which one extracts essences. Contrary to the jasmine the powerful smell of which is appreciated by some but displeases the others, the rose is in favour with all. One associates it to the other numerous essences to create the smell which will have your preference.
Today, one makes the perfumes by mixing from 100 to 700 types of different essences. The types of mixed essences, as well as their composition, are held the secret.
Did you know that the roses enter the composition of the smell of most of the perfumes?
If you garden, avoid wearing of the perfume at the risk of surrounding you with small insects.
Do not put perfume before a sun exhibition to avoid the pigmentary tasks.
The sense of smell is easily saturated
It is preferable not to test more than 3 fragrances under only one test because our nose saturates quickly and beyond that, it does not make any more a difference when you choose a perfume start by testing lightest. Deposit one or two drops with back of your wrist or on the back of your hand, far from your nose, and move the hand gently. To compare two perfumes, try the first on a hand and the second on the other hand. Avoid smelling the perfume directly in the bottle, because the strong alcohol odour masks the true scent of the perfume. If you are still undecided, trust you later with the basic note present on your wrist.
The fragrance of a perfume puts approximately 20 to 30 mn to fix itself on our skin. When you wear perfume again , make moderately because the scent of the first application lasts longer than you think it.
The roses with gasoline and the roses cultivated in our gardens belong to two different families:
- the roses with gasoline have a choking and sweetened note, the smell of the roses of our gardens is lighter and refreshing.
You knew that the flowers most used to manufacture scented gasoline are the rose and the jasmine. That requires a long, meticulous and manual gathering !
It impressive of knowing is not that the perfumer work with more than 400 raw materials of natural origin and more than 3000 molecules of synthesis !
Where can one scent oneself ?
Very of access the perfume must "be related" to a clean skin and in particular, there, where the temperature of the body is highest.
Behind the ear: the perfume will be diffused better because this zone is hottest of the lobe of the ear.
The nape: of the neck but attention, if you have the sensitive skin because this place can be sensitive.
Interior of the arm: scent the hollow of the elbow because it is a hot and mobile place.
The wrist: scent the back of the wrist, at the place of the pulse.
Size: scent the turn of your size before a dinner, the scent will diffuse slowly.
Behind the knees: pose some drops of perfumes close to the point of pulsation.
Legs: to delicately scent the internal face of the thighs, knees and ankle.
The hem of the skirt: the fragrance will diffuse when you walk.
There are zones to avoid, for example, the armpits, because of perspiration and the triangle located between the ears and the chest, because one can then irritate the skin, sensitive around the nose and of the throat.
The note of the perfume varies according to the season and the climate. Indeed, the same perfume can appear completely different under a wet climate and heat that under a dry climate.
The perfume is more extremely when the temperature is high and more discrete when it is low. When moisture is strong, its note is more durable, in the contrary case, its note is less durable.
Small softnesses for elephants: And yes! the elephants taste, like candies, the green pods of the "mimosa" after having delicately gathered them with their horn.
Dilute 3 essential oil drops of "mimosa" in 100 Cm3 of sweet almond and carry out pleasant releasing massages.
In the East, the "mimosa" is called "Moonlight"!
Pepper: this spice returns to us many services in kitchen to raise our favorite dishes but knew you when perfumery pepper also gives its side pricking to the male fragrances and the Eastern scents.
Some examples where pepper makes its appearance: HERITAGE from Guerlain, GENTLEMAN from Givenchy, BALENCIAGA for Man of Balenciaga but also some female perfumes such as PARFUM SACRE from Caron, L'HEURE BLEUE from Guerlain or LOULOU from Cacharel.
For one kilogramme of rose oil centifolia, one needs more than 3 000 kgs roses !
The collector of perfumes is called, a "lecythiophile". The "lecythe" coming from the Greek word "lêkuthos" is a Greek mud with long collar, in which one put perfumes and oil and ?phile? coming from the Greek word "philein" wants to say ?to love".
The perfume cannot be preserved intact more than three years, mainly for extract of perfume. Indeed, this one is very sensitive to the light. It is thus preferable to store it in a dark and fresh place.
A perfume, badly preserved, can then deteriorate in a few months attention with the variations in temperature. Buy your perfume in minimal quantity is: 15 ml for the extract, 25 ml for perfume spray and 50 ml for toilet water, that limits the risks of deterioration considerably.
It is preferable not to use the perfume to disinfect a wound. The alcohol contained in the perfumes is not neutral, it contains gasoline, conservatives and dyes which can irritate or infect the wound.
The Japanese women vaporize their perfume inside their clothing or along the hems.
Avoid vaporizing your perfume on your hair because this one could make them dull and possibly their give a rather unpleasant odour. Indeed, it can occur a chemical reaction of sebaceous glands in contact with the perfume.
We find easily in the department stores of pretty sprays provided with a pear. These sprays are not tight and support the oxidation of the perfume. It is thus preferable to keep them for decoration or to fill them only for a few days of perfuming.
On the other hand, there is no problem with the sprays that the large marks propose to us, they are of a perfect sealing because they diffuse the perfume without air but with only one propellant gas added in weight equal to the scented solution.
