Whatever you call the rose…or How perfumes get their names. Part II.
Eastern motives are one more bright idea of naming the perfumes. Perfume and East are strongly associated with each other. When we speak about perfumes, we start imagining the spices of east and the magic charm of eastern bazaars.
Some perfumes get the names, that are associated with nature. Harmonical nature is the eternal source of pleasant names. The Yves Roche company, the head of which is so passionate about nature protection, launched a perfume called Nature and a series of related skin care means.
Our mood and our feelings are an endless spring of inspiration for perfume creators, seeking for a proper name. The theme of feelings is first and foremost the theme of love, where a woman usually dominates. Being aimed at a woman, perfumes strive to underline her attractiveness, charm, unpredictability, cheerfulness and tenderness by their names.
Naming the scents after gems and precious metals has also become really popular. For example, Paco Rabanne launched two scents named Calandre and Metal, that have gained immediate success.
Another idea is to name the scents after geographical names – usually the exotic names and places prevail. However, in this sphere Paris stays on top – being the symbol of high fashion and perfect style, Paris is also a brilliant name for a scent.
