Whatever the rose smells…or How to name a perfume? Part I.
What name must a perfume have? What task does the name have and at what is it aimed? Why is the name so important?
Of course, the name has to be catchy, bright, remarkable and to bring some associations. It is not easy to find a word, that would not only satisfy all these criteria, but would also reflect the image, the perfumer wants to create, and would carry a part of the perfume magic.
The easiest variant is to use the name of the perfumer or producer, or any of the trade mark owners, like Cardin, Armani, Gucci, Givenchy, Azzarro. Sometimes only the initials will go: K.L. by Karl Lagerfeld, Y by Yves Saint-Lauren. In this case the addition of a number to the perfume’s name will carry an element of mystery: Chanel № 19, Azzaro 9. For example, Kenzo company includes the name of the company in the majority of perfume names: Kenzo pour homme, EauparKenzo and so on. Sometimes the company, that produces fragrances, names them in honour of the founder or owner of the company: see Nina by Nina Ricci.
The most brilliant example of a surname’s use in the brand of Dior – this name is short, but catchy, and it sounds pleasantly. What is more, it is really useful for various modifications, like Diorema, Diorella, Diorissimo. Salvador Dali company seems to be also inspired by this idea – it explains the creation of Dalissime and Dalimix fragrances.
The magic of numbers is also of great importance. Chanel № 5 still remains one of the most popular perfumes in the world – probably because of the lucky number 5. They say, m-lle Chanel has organized the whole life of hers around this number, which in numerology means developed intuition and an ability to take risks.
My Givenchy: a fruit bouquet for you!
A romantic temptress, bright, light-hearted and charming – this is a new female image from Givenchy. My Givenchy is a fragrance for young and egoistic, for those, who know, what they want, and always get it. This bright fruit and floral aroma gives you a boost of energy and optimism: now there are no insuperable hindrances and unsolvable problems!
Launched in 2005, My Givenchy was created by a famous perfume designer Evelyne Boulanger. Not only the scent, but even the bottle itself expresses the vortex of emotions and the splash of energy, hidden in it. Despite juicy fruity notes, the scent is very elegant because of the tender floral notes. A perfect summer scent, light and sweet as an August afternoon in an orchard.
Top notes are formed by fresh orange, sweet pear, cassia and red currant, while the pear blossom and mimose, compound with delicate lily-of-the-valley and violet make up middle notes. Soft base notes include white musk, vetiver and patchouli. Note, that the scent is not too sweet and sickly, because of the fresh sharpness of the top notes.
In spite of the fact, that the edition of My Givenchy was limited, still a forbidden fruit is the sweetest one. This bright and cheerful perfume will provide its owner with the feeling of happiness and summer mood. Doesn’t it deserve your attention in these bleak winter days?

Honey pie, spicy hot wine or homemade vanilla ice cream - recepie for aroma winter!Part I.
A fragrance is a special accessory: an elegant belt can accentuate your chiseled figure, a bright hat can add contrast, and a drop of perfume highlights the new features of your image, sometimes subtle and complicated…And, of course, as any accessory, a perfume has its own season. In summer we apply light, airy and refreshing scents, but when it is so frosty outside, cool ozone scents lose their charm and attractiveness. While muffling up in a cosy scarf or warming ourselves with a mug of mulled wine, we all want to smell warmly and elegantly…
1. Spices.
Just as spices add special notes of taste and smell to delicious dishes, a perfume with the tones of cloves or cardamom will add mystery and sensuality to your fragrance. Sweet ginger or nutmeg, tantalizing cinnamon or tender cloves - these scents ooze with the eastern charm and the warmness of mulled wine.
Perfumes with spicy notes: Burberry Brit Red, Nutmeg Ginger, Tea for Two.
2. Honey.
Are there cosier, comfier and warmer dainties, than honey? And is there a sweeter and more charming fragrance, than the delicate scent of the honeycomb shedding honey?
Perfumes with honey notes: Soir De Lune.
3. Vanilla
Vanilla means tender sweetness of meringue pies, modest passion of an aphrodisiac and elegant exotics. Vanilla cloaks one into a fragrant veil. Shy and at the same time cheerful aroma brings a very special, tender and positive mood. Of all sweet scents vanilla is the simpliest one – and the most adorable in its simplicity.
Perfumes with vanilla notes: Hypnotic Poison, Princess Vera Wang, Un Bois Vanille.
4. Sandalwood
A sweet and sophisticated scent of sandalwood gives you the feeling of stability and confidence. A velvet, mysterious aroma – isn’t it the best addition to the roughly-knitted sweaters with elegant ornaments?
Perfumes with sandalwood notes: Donna Karan Black Cashmere, Opium, Vetiver Oriental.
5. Citruses.
On the Christmas day all tables and Christmas trees are decorated with oranges and tangerines, and a pungent sweet smell of citrus essence brings an association with holidays. That is why the scents of rind and juicy citrus pulp are ideal for winter.
Perfumes with citrus notes: Paloma Picasso, Opium Fleur Imperiale, Eau Torride, Clinique Happy.
