The legendary, almost alchemically intriguing mix of jasmine and vivacious aldehydes has ensured No5 always transcended fashion: No single flower can be easily identified in its construction – not ylang ylang, or that luminous jasmine, or rose, nor those bubbly aldehydes, nor any of the other 80 or so ingredients in its closely-guarded formula. Over a century ago, it was certainly unlike anything smelled before, and the abstract effect has kept it relevant, decade after decade.
Sun-drenched, thirst-quenching and filled filled with freshness, this is a beautiful modern play on the classic, with a fizz of aldehydes dancing on lemon, mandarin and orange atop a honeyed shimmer of jasmine and luminescent ylang ylang. As the opening chords drift away and the floral heart warms on the skin, a thrum of warm cedar and vetiver mellow to a harmonious trail of soft white musks. Glorious.
‘Allow yourself to be swept up in the whirlwind of Chance’ says Chanel. And, oh, what a sparkling wonder this is – the eau de parfum an ‘Unexpected Floral’, created by Jacques Polge, like wearing an entire constellation of scented stars. The heady absolutes of exotic jasmine and Iris are warmed by vanilla and more pronounced than the eau de toilette. White musk weaves mystery, and as it warms Chance becomes even rounder, ever more generous and entirely enveloping… like a new love (or the reigniting of an old flame).
Perfumer Oliver Polge constructed his composition around a far higher proportion of patchouli leaves atop a richly resinous amber base, swirled through with toasty tonka bean and addictive vanilla in their absolute (strongest) form. Lovers of the original need not fear – your dose of Sicilian orange and Calabrian bergamot is still there, as are the fulsome garlands of rose and that stunning, sunny jasmine in the heart. The character is definitely even more mysterious, wavering between the freshness and a minxishly seductive trail that lingers all day.
The stronger parfum concentration of their bestselling Bleu de Chanel, crafted by Olivier Polge (whose father Jacques composed the original), is certainly recognisable, yet cleverly rebalances the wood and citrus notes, upping the sandalwood that follows the freshness, with gloriously undulating waves of bright jasmine, aromatic lavender and geranium notes, and the powerful cedarwood heart beating throughout. Intensely wonderful – and wonderfully intense.

Know Your Notes
One of the crucial things to consider when buying perfume is understanding the different notes in each fragrance. Fragrances comprise top notes, middle notes, and base notes, and each one plays a role in how the scent smells. Top notes tend to be lighter and more subtle, middle notes provide a longer-lasting aroma, and base notes are typically stronger scents that linger after the others fade. Knowing these components can help you choose the right fragrance for you.
Know The Brand
Understanding the different perfume brands and the fragrances they specialize in sifts through the plenty of fragrance choices to find something that suits your preference and budget. Before making your purchase decision, do a deep dive into the brands you are interested in and explore their fragrance options. Some brands focus on floral scents, while others specialize in woody or musky aromas; knowing which scent appeals most will help narrow your choices significantly.

Perfume can range from light to heavy in terms of concentration, so ensure you read the label before buying a product. Additionally, ensure the perfume does not contain anything they are not included in the purchasing said product.
Conclusion
Purchasing quality perfume products doesn't have to be complicated or intimidating; remember these tips when shopping around for fragrances. By understanding different notes, researching prices, looking for natural ingredients, reading reviews from past customers, knowing your brand preferences, and trying before buying - you should feel confident in choosing the perfect fragrance product.
]]>Perfume is more than just a pleasant fragrance that we wear to smell good. The scent of a perfume can evoke memories, emotions, and can even affect our mood. But what is it about a scent that has such a profound impact on us? Let's explore the science behind the power of scents and how they affect our emotions.
How our sense of smell works
Our sense of smell is connected directly to the limbic system in our brain, which is responsible for our emotions and memories. When we smell a scent, the odor molecules travel through our nose to the olfactory receptors in the brain. This direct connection to the limbic system is why certain scents can have an instant impact on our emotions and memories.
The role of pheromones
Pheromones are chemical signals that are produced by animals, including humans, and are used to communicate with others of the same species. Some perfumes contain synthetic pheromones that are designed to mimic the scent of human pheromones and evoke an emotional response. This is why some perfumes are marketed as being seductive or alluring.
The impact of scent on emotions
The scent of a perfume can evoke a range of emotions, including happiness, sadness, and even fear. For example, the scent of lavender is often associated with relaxation and calm, while the scent of lemon is invigorating and energizing. Some scents can even have a physical effect, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep, and even increasing feelings of self-confidence.
Creating a mood with fragrance
Perfume can be used to create a mood or atmosphere. For example, a fresh and clean scent can be used to create a sense of calm and relaxation, while a warm and spicy scent can be used to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. By choosing the right scent, we can create a mood or atmosphere that suits our mood and enhances our emotional state.
In conclusion, the power of scents is undeniable, and the science behind the impact of fragrance on our emotions is fascinating. Whether you are looking to evoke a specific mood or simply to enjoy the experience of wearing a beautiful fragrance, understanding the science behind scents will give you a deeper appreciation for the power of perfume.

]]>Our reaction to smell is primal in nature. Our sense of smell goes thru less higher brain processing than our other senses do. Because of this, smell can evoke an immediate emotional response.
The Composition of Perfume Smell
Most perfumes are engineered to have three part smell: the top note, the heart note, the base note. Top notes are composed of the lightest molecules. Therefore they evaporate first, followed by heart notes and base notes.
Top Notes
Appears within 15 minutes of applying. Designers often put weird or spicy smells in this phase so that they interest you, but don't hang around long enough to offend.
Heart Notes
Appear after 3 to 4 hours. They are probably what you remember about the perfume; if it's a floral perfume, flowery smells go here.
Base Notes
Appear 4 to 5 hours after application. Base notes are often used as a fixative to hold and boost the strength of the lighter top and middle notes. Musky, watery, mossy and woody scents often go into the base.
]]>To narrow it down even further, consider narrowing 14 fragrance families further, to be grouped into four main categories: floral, fresh, oriental and woody. Many scents are unisex, including some citrus, oriental and woody fragrances, but make sure to check the bottle, as some are specifically designed for men or women.
Fragrance expert Michael Edwards developed a helpful wheel that classifies the more than 4,700 scents available for purchase. Here's your cheat sheet:

]]>However, given the environmental condition of our beloved blue planet, reusing and recycling perfume bottles might be an effective contribution on our part in order to improve the health of Earth. I mean it runs our lives and I am sure we want our future generations to enjoy these majestic things called Perfumes.
Refilling perfume bottles is a great idea- not only it protects the environment, it protects and preserves our pockets and saves us the emotional turmoil that we face while throwing away those cute little bottles especially those by companies like Gucci and Chanel.
Refilling a perfume bottle is extremely simple. Few basic tools, some patience, and a few tips and tricks should be enough.
Just to be safe, take a tissue and wipe the neck of the bottle. This will help you clean all the tiny glass particles that might be present.
So, the first step is over.
Let us embark on the next prime step, that is to Refill A Perfume Bottle.
Gather all your patience and slowly pour the essence in the bottle. This is a time taking process. We do not want to spill the essence over the edges.

We just need to reverse the steps.

]]>Chemical reactions can also morph your perfume on the shelf. Visible light has enough energy to bust the bonds in fragrance molecules, and bright sun will singe your perfume in as little as a week. Air can also corrode your fragrance by oxidation -- the same process that turns uncorked wine into vinegar. Storing your perfume at room temperature, in the dark and in a spray bottle preserves it well. Then, it will have a shelf life of at least five years.
But what about your chemistry?
Many people complain, as to why the fragrance does not last on our skin, or that their is something wrong with the fragrance, as it is weak on their skin, and does not last long.
Your own body temperature and oiliness seem most important and play a big role in why the fragrance lasts differently on different people. The top notes will evaporate faster from warm and dry skin than cool and oily skin. Otherwise, by the time the heart notes emerge, the perfume smells the same on everyone.
You have learned about your perfume's structure and behavior. You have spread, but not rubbed vigorously.
