How to choose the right bottle to store essential oils: Methods : • Store your oils in dark glass bottles. Exposure to light can cause essential oils to oxidize rather quickly. As this happens, they typically lose their fragrance and any therapeutic qualities they may have had. Because of this, clear glass and plastic bottles should be avoided at all costs.[1] Amber and cobalt-blue glass bottles are fairly common. Green and violet glass is also somewhat common.These dark glasses will help reduce the risk of oxidation, but they will not eliminate that risk.Plastic, no matter what color it is, should generally be avoided. PET and HDPE plastics will not deteriorate from oil storage, but most other plastics are easily broken down by oil. • Make sure the caps are airtight. Exposure to air can cause oils to oxidize just as much as exposure to sunlight. Because of this, it's important to ensure that your bottles have an airtight seal.[3] Most screw-on caps will have a good sea...

How to test perfume:  Methods :  • Walk around the mall without wearing any scent and look around for perfumes you have sampled before and likes, or perfumes that seem really popular (like on TV.) If you already have some preferences, make a list and bring it with you. • Approach the sales counter and ask the representative to introduce you to the perfume. Ask her about the scent and how popular it is (whether it has a strong scent or weak scent). If she asks to spray it on you, reject it. Do not spray perfumes on your skin, because your skin absorbs it and the smell stays on your skin all day, so by the end of the shopping, you will leave smelling like a bunch of mixed scents. • Ask her/him to spray the perfume on a piece of paper (sample sheets) or if they have little bottle samples or plastic samples to take home, ask them about those options. If you really want to smell the perfume right away (from the paper) then ask for coffee beans after to smell. Most repre...

How to Determine Whether a perfume is authentic: Methods : • Check the wrapping. Legitimate perfumes typically have cellophane tightly wrapped around the boxes. See if the cellophane is loosely or poorly wrapped, to the point where it is moving around the box. Improperly wrapped cellophane is a telltale sign of counterfeit perfumes.  • Inspect the box closely. You can often discern the authenticity of a perfume merely by inspecting the right parts of the box. Before opening your perfume, carefully examine the box for any signs of unprofessional packaging and design.Examine the text on the back of the packaging. Check for grammatical errors, misspellings, poorly laid out information, etc. Real packaging for a real perfume should ideally be grammatically correct. Spelling or grammar mistakes can indicate the mark of a counterfeit. Real packaging is made from high quality paperboard. Boxes made from thin, flimsy material are often counterfeit. Look for the barcode on the p...

How to choose a right cologne: Methods: • Select a heavy scent. Certain colognes and fragrances last longer because the notes that they feature have a stronger, heavier scent. For the most lasting power, choose a cologne with a woody fragrance, such as cedar, patchouli, or juniper. Options with spicy notes, such as clove, ginger, or nutmeg, also tend to be longer-wearing. Woody, spicy scents that come in oil form are the best choice when you want your cologne to last all day. That’s because oils cling better to the skin than sprays or mists. They’re not mixed with alcohol either, so the scent isn’t diluted.Colognes that features fresh citrus notes aren’t going to last as long as heavier, musky scents. • Check its expiration date. Many people don’t realize that colognes and perfumes have a best-by-date if they contain a lot of natural ingredients. Over time, those ingredients can start to turn, weakening or changing the scent. Some colognes will include an expiration date on...

How to use essential oils: Methods :  • Consider the quality of essential oils before you purchase. Since you will be using essential oils on your body and around your home, it is in your best interest to select high quality essential oils. There is no standard of quality that all essential oil companies must abide by, so you will have to consider several things before you buy an essential oil.Have you heard of the company and/or used their products before? Only purchase essential oils from reputable companies.Is the price of the essential oil comparable to other similar products or much cheaper? Be wary of cheap essential oils because they may not be pure.Does the bottle list the Latin name for the plants used to make the essential oil and/or the country of origin? These details indicate that the company caters to knowledgeable consumers and is therefore more trustworthy.Does the packaging have a statement about purity? Look for products that contain 100% essential oil...

How to test Essential Oils for purity before buying:  Methods : • Ask your supplier about the purity of their oils and the distilling process. Try to buy from a supplier who distills their own oils, or deals directly with a distiller who does. Suppliers should be willing to provide you with a sample (maybe for a small fee) before encouraging you to buy larger quantities. This shows that they are confident in their product and believe that if you try it you will buy. • Search for oil by the specific name of the plant it is derived from. Being able to read the label and identify the plant makeup of the oil is the first step to buying a quality oil. The general rule of thumb is to purchase by the Latin name, which can be found by searching online for the plant, as this is normally the most specific.  For example, many customers purchase lavandula oil, also known as lavender, because of its calming effects. A common mistake is purchasing lavender oil instead, which has...

How to Choose a Winter Perfume:  Methods: • Go heavy. Summer is the time for light, ephemeral scents, while in winter, you can go for heavier scents. Scents fade faster in colder months (because your skin is so dry), so picking a heavier scent will help it stick with you for longer. • Pay attention to base notes. The base notes of a fragrance are more important in the winter months. Perfumes consist of top notes, middle notes, and base notes. The base notes are the heaviest part of the fragrance, the part the lingers, while top notes fade quickly. Patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood are common base notes you'll find more regularly in winter perfumes. To figure out the base notes of colognes, you can talk to the people at the perfume counter, who will be glad to assist you. You can also research perfumes online to find out more. • Pick an eau de parfum or perfume instead of cologne. In the winter months, you may need to move to a slightly denser scent. Eau de cologne is o...

Choosing best perfumes and fragrances from your online perfume store: For a long-lasting effect, perfume should be padded or layered all over the body, starting with water or eau de parfum. Type of skin that you have also affects the way a fragrance works on you. People with oilier skins should remember that perfumes mix with the oils in their epidermis to create a more enhanced smell. So, you need to choose milder perfumes. Dry epidermis does not maintain perfume as much as the oily skin types, necessitating the person wearing them to apply the perfume more often. While purchasing your preferred perfume from your online perfume store, do keep that in mind. Also, when you use perfumes, use them at the pulse points of your body and not on the clothes. The gentle beating of the pulse underneath your skin makes the perfume spread better. Further, always use perfume on a clean body. The effect of perfume is ruined when it mixes with dirt and sweat on the skin.

How to make a perfume last longer after purchase: Be it a men’s or women’s perfume purchased from an online perfume store; keep your fragrances safe from excessive chill or warmth. Once a package of fragrance is open, it should be used quickly; otherwise it will start to modify its character and eventually, smell differently. Long exposure to strong natural light or changes in heat range can affect the gentle balance of the fragrance and alter its scent and fragrance. Ensure that you never try more than three perfumes at once when you are searching for a new perfume. Your nasal system drops its capability to tell the change when you overcrowd it. When you shop in online perfume store, you lose this advantage and hence, it is prudent to read reviews about various perfumes or contact customer care of the store for the best advice. Final Thoughts: When you smell good, it improves your sensations of well being. Different perfumes are considered to have their own exclusive impac...

The Difference Between Alcohol and Non Alcohol Based Perfumes: Majority of commercially sold fragrances are mix with alcohol, which causes the scent of the perfume to evaporate faster. When you first spray a perfume with high alcohol content, it tends to smell strong initially. After an hour or two, the scent of the fragrance diminished considerably, meaning you cannot smell it as well. Alcohol-free perfumes last longer, and they go on much more subtly. They do not evaporate very fast. Some non-alcohol based perfumes can last longer up to 12 to 24 hours. Another difference between the alcohol and non-alcohol based perfumes are in their bottling and pricing. Most non-alcohol based perfumes are packed into a small bottle since it contains pure perfume oils. For the alcohol based perfumes, the bottle come in a variety of sizes and designs. It is very obvious that the bottle design is very attractive and in terms of pricing, would cost more. If you can afford to buy pure perfum...
