How to conserve perfumes during summer time

Summer is approaching (we're sure!) and with it the heat. Then it becomes very important that our fragrances are stored properly. We all know it, but often forget it!


- So, keep all perfumes away from heat and direct light. They hold much better in cool, dark places such as the wardrobe.

- In addition, always close the bottles after application, because in contact with the air the perfume oxidizes.

- When traveling, of course the perfume must go with you and nothing happens. But please avoid excessive movements such as e.g. shaking. 

I hope these tips help.

Beautiful Day wishes you your VismarEssence team

VismarEssence. What scents are most attractive to us?

I was always of the opinion that each country or region has its own scent or identifie themselves with specific fragrances. In 2010, the neurobiologist Rafi Haddad of the Weizmann Institute in Israel found out by a study, that this is not the case.

By using an electronic nose, he was able with up to 90% accuracy to predict those smells that are equally enjoyable for all. From this he drew the conclusion, that the affinity for certain odors is biologically and not culturally specified.

Based on his experiments, which were also published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the most popular aromas for the mortals are lime, orange, grapefruit, mint and peach.
 

What you can not imagine is what Alan Kirsch, a researcher at the Foundation for Research and Treatment of Smell and Taste of Chicago (USA), has discovered. he found out that the best scent, to sexually excite men, is a mixture of lavender and pumpkin pie cake. This scent increases up to 40% (!!!) the blood flow to the genitals. And by the way: a similar effect to increase libido in women is achieved with the smell of powder.

The History of Perfume

The history of perfume is still very mysterious. When did it begin? And for what purposes perfumes were used?

In Barcelona, as in some French cities, there is a perfume museum. There it is believed that the history of perfume began in the Stone Age, when it was discovered that resin provided with branches in the fire spread a pleasant fragrance. Soon our ancestors used this as a ritual to honor the gods.

For centuries, monks and priests use perfumes for religious purposes. They produced it themselves with myrrh, labdanum, etc to assist  the elevation of the spirit.

The Greeks used 7 different ways to store to perfumes. One form was the storage in the "lekythos".

Due to the many trips of the Greek traders to other countries soon the act to get perfumed was imitated ba other cultures. Perfumers and barbers came into fashion. Gradually other cities and countries created their fragrance, it is also said that Alexander the Great loved perfume ...

But how does perfumes work? After the application of the fragrance it reacts with the warmth of the body. A part evaporates and the remaining aromas remain longer on the skin. There are two types of structures in a perfume: the first is divided into phases, for example the top notes, heart notes and base notes. In addition, the monolithic phase in which the scent remains the same while you can smell it.
