Where should you apply fragrance?
This is really down to personal preference. However, today, fragrances are designed for liberal application. Traditionally the pulse points (where the blood circulates closest to the skin) and the décolleté area are the most effective application points.
What are top, middle, and base notes?
All fragrances are blends of ingredients that evaporate at different rates. The top notes are those ingredients that evaporate soon after application to the skin and give the first burst of freshness. The middle or heart notes which evaporate less quickly usually represent the main character of the fragrance and can last for up to four or five hours depending on the fragrance type. The base notes can last many hours and can also modify the behaviour of the more volatile top note ingredients to increase their lasting power.
Why is Eau de Parfum more expensive than Eau de Toilette?
The Eau de Parfum contains a greater percentage of fragrance oils than the Eau de Toilette, hence it is more expensive. However, because the higher level of fragrance oil in the Eau de Parfum gives a stronger fragrance effect you do not need to use as much of it if you want to obtain the same effect as an Eau de Toilette. Eau de Parfum has the additional benefit of helping the fragrance last longer on the skin.
What ingredient makes a fragrance last on the skin?
The lasting power of any fragrance is primarily determined by the fragrance family where the main factors are the intrinsic character of all the ingredients used and how they are combined. A fresh and light ‘floral’ fragrance such as Lily of the Valley or a highly ‘citrus’ scent such as Limes will not be as lasting as a ‘floral woody’ like Edwardian Bouquet. The lighter fragrances, by their very nature, often do not contain the higher levels of the base note oils that give more lasting power on the skin. These special base note oils are also known as fixatives and can be used to increase staying power.
Are Floris products completely ‘natural’?
Many of the ingredients used are totally natural being extracted from flowers, herbs, woods, or citrus fruits. However, synthetic materials are invaluable particularly where natural notes are not available e.g. where they cannot be distilled from natural sources or in place of animal derivatives. It is worth noting that some synthetic ingredients are considerably more expensive than many natural essential oils. A successful fragrance is a well-blended formulation of both sources of oils.
