How can I test the scent of perfume at home before buying it?
Of course, you have the chance to try dozens of different perfumes in local perfumeries, but if you want to test them at home, you can request tester bottles from sales consultants. Testers are filled free of charge in many perfumeries. In addition, special tester packages are sold on newly opened websites today. For example, Vanilla Club has dozens of different perfume options, old and new, from Marc Jacobs Dot to Kenzo Madly. You have the chance to create your own packages by choosing the four or five perfumes you are most curious about. You can also order your favorite from the site at a discount later.
Recently, I started to come across perfumes with the word ‘natural’ on them. What differences do these perfumes have?
Traditional perfumes usually consist of essential oils, which are synthetic perfume molecules. Since it is sometimes very expensive and sometimes difficult to extract natural oils from exotic plants, flowers and fruits, many perfume manufacturers today prefer to use essential oils that have the same effect. These synthetic oils are never used in natural perfumes. “Some studies show that essential oils cause an imbalance in hormones,” says obstetrician Jennifer Ashton, author of the book Your Body Beautiful, and adds: “The bad thing is that it is very difficult to discover the negative effects of perfume alone, as external factors increase day by day. “In addition, we do not have any way to find out which content is more useful to us.” Underlining that allergic reactions can also occur with natural perfumes, Ashton states that the perfume should be tested before purchasing.
