Does Perfume Smell Different On Everyone?

by

Have you ever noticed that the same perfume can smell different on different people?

Maybe you tried a perfume that you loved on a friend, but when you wore it yourself, it didn’t smell the same. Or, … maybe you noticed that your favourite perfume seems to smell different from one day to the next or when you are away on holiday.

What have you experienced? Does perfume smell different on everyone and have your favourites changed over time?

In this article we present probable reasons and offer a few solutions.

Why Does Perfume Smell Different On Everyone?

There are numerous reasons why perfume may smell different on another person and on you.

Here are some of the most common factors:

  • Skin type: The pH balance of your skin can affect how a perfume smells. For example, people with dry skin tend to smell perfumes more strongly than people with oily skin.
  • Body chemistry and skin micro-flora: The chemicals in your body and the skin micro-flora can also interact with the material in a perfume, creating different scent profiles. This is why some people find that certain perfumes make them smell “like themselves” while others don’t.
  • Diet: What you eat can also affect how a perfume smells on you. For example, eating spicy foods can make your skin more acidic, which can change the way a perfume smells. Equally, some food ingredients affect the scent of your skin, e.g. garlic and spices.
  • Hormones: Your hormone levels can also affect how a perfume smells on you. For example, women’s perfumes may smell different during different phases of their menstrual cycle.
  • Environment: The environment you are in can also affect how a perfume smells. For example, perfume will smell different in a hot, humid environment than in a cold, dry environment.
  • Safety & Ethics: Today, it is no longer acceptable to use animal derived ingredients. Equally, a large variety of fragrance ingredients have been found to be skin irritants or sensitisers. Other ingredients are not bio-degradable. The fragrance industry and its governing body, IFRA, continuously research and review the ingredients used in perfume. This requires perfume houses to rework existing perfumes to comply with the most modern safety and environmental standards.
  • Cost: Perfume is a luxury good. Their marketing activities and retail outlets are expensive, creating cost pressures on manufacturers to stay commercially viable. This incentivises to reduce costs, which may lead to a reduction in the fragrance oil concentration in the perfume you love and have come to know well.
  • Naturals: natural perfume ingredients change from crop to crop and are more likely to react and change on your skin.

If you are wondering why your perfume smells different than it used to, it is likely due to one of these factors.

If you are not sure what is causing your perfume to smell differently, you can try experimenting to see what may be the cause. We encourage to discuss with your friends & family: Does Perfume Smell Different On Everyone? What is their experience? Have they perhaps found another reason why?

Different Approaches

Having said all of this, major prestige perfume brands like Chanel, Dior, Gucci, etc work very hard to ensure their perfumes smell the same on everyone because what is the point of buying Chanel No.5, if it doesn’t smell like Chanel No.5 on you.

Here at Pairfum London, we embrace a different approach: we develop our niche perfumes to smell different on everyone! This creates a personal perfume that is unique to you and an aura that impossible to copy. The compliments you receive will be uniquely you.

In other words, it creates a beautiful choice of perfume types for you:

  • fragrances from prestige brands, like Chanel No 5, for special occasions, e.g. the opera, and
  • a natural niche perfume, like Pairfum London, to allow the unique in you to flourish.

Tips From A Perfumer

Here are some fragrance tips to make your perfume smell its best on you:

  • Apply it to clean, dry skin. This will help the perfume to absorb evenly and last longer.
  • Apply it to pulse points. In these areas of your body, the blood vessels are closer to the skin, making your skin slightly warmer. This will help to amplify the scent of you perfume.
  • Avoid applying it to your clothes. Perfume can stain your clothes and equally hook into the fabrics to last longer but smell weaker.
  • Reapply it throughout the day. Your perfume will naturally fade over time and we advise that you re-apply it every few hours to keep it smelling fresh and true to its scent.

If you not happy with the way your perfume smells on you, you may want to try a different one.

There are the two different approaches we mentioned above and many different perfumes on the market, offering you a fantastic choice to experiment and find the one (or many) that you love and that smells great on you.

In this context, you should explore fragrances from olfactive families you have never tried before. Many perfume houses offer ‘Fragrance Libraries’ to introduce you to the types of notes that you may not immediately try when you are in a perfumery. Embrace and enjoy the motto: Who dares wins!

Here at Pairfum London, we offer the Perfume Experience Box, a fragrance library with 12 x Eau de Parfum Intense in combination with paper smelling strips. This allows you to really experience 12 x new perfumes in the comfort of your own, scent-neutral home and to live with & wear each perfume for approx 2 weeks.

Additional Questions

Here are some additional answers to frequently asked questions about perfume:

  • Q: Why can’t I smell my perfume after a while? A: This is a common phenomenon called olfactory fatigue. It happens when your nose gets used to a smell and stops detecting it as strongly. You may still be able to smell your perfume on other people, but you won’t be able to smell it on yourself as much.
  • Q: Why does my perfume smell stronger on some people than on others? A: This is usually due to skin type. People with dry skin tend to smell perfumes more strongly than people with oily skin.
  • Q: Why does my perfume smell different in different environments? A: The temperature and humidity of the environment can affect how a perfume smells. For example, perfume will smell different in a hot, humid environment than in a cold, dry environment.

How To Find A Strong Perfume?

by
Eau De Parfum Person Reflection Spiced Rum Lime Guaiac Wood Man Strong Perfume

We are often asked the following questions about strong perfume:

  • How do I find a strong perfume?
  • Which one of yours is a strong perfume?
  • Does a strong perfume last longer?
  • How do I know if my perfume is strong?

In this post we explain what to look for when trying to find a strong fragrance.

Eau De Parfum Person Reflection Scarlet Rhubarb Oakmoss Hat The Magic Of Strong Perfume

What Does Strong Mean In Fragrance?

As perfumers, we find that when consumers use the term ‘strong’ to describe a perfume, the frequently refer to one (or all) of the following:

  • the fragrance intensity itself, e.g. do you feel wonderfully fragranced after one single spray or do you need several sprays?
  • the longevity of the fragrance, i.e. for how long it lasts after it has been applied and under which conditions, e.g. in the heat of the Middle East or the European Winter. A fragrance might be strong initially but sadly not last.
  • its radiance: ‘Projection’ refers to depth or distance a perfume radiates to, i.e. can only somebody standing right next to you smell or do you fill the room with your fragrance when you enter.
  • Sillage is the wake or trail a fragrance leaves behind, i.e. is the fragrance gone as soon as you leave, or does it have a beautiful trail that lingers long after the wearer has left. You will probably remember this type of situation. Technically speaking, your fragrance has ‘sillage’ when even trace amounts are perceivable. A good example is vanilla where even the tiniest amount will be noticed.
  • perception: we frequently find that when somebody doesn’t like a perfume, they say “it is too strong”. A perfume that we love, typically can’t be strong enough.
  • familiarity: it can be that our noses have become trained to identify certain notes, e.g. we find it easy to identify lavender because our mother used to keep some in our wardrobes against moths. We all have certain perfume ingredients that we find easy to identify and that give us the impression that a fragrance is strong or perhaps even too strong.
  • ingredients: there are some ingredients which are very strong for some and not perceptible for others. A good example is musk: Some can’t smell it all, but others perceive it strongly. Consequently, a perfume containing musk can be both strong and weak, depending on who smells it.

It is not always easy to distinguish clearly between these, as there is some interdependence, e.g. a weak fragrance will struggle to project.

In other words, the next time somebody says “your perfume is strong”, try and find out ‘how’ it is too strong? You will enjoy hearing how your fragrance is perceived.

Finding A Strong Perfume?

Now with this in mind, how do you find a strong fragrance?

As perfumers, we have found the first 4 x from the list above to the be most important:

  1. Intensity: when you look for an intense perfume, there is no point looking at a fragrance with a low fragrance concentration, e.g. an Eau Fraiche, Eau de Cologne or Eau de Toilette. Instead, opt for an Eau de Parfum (ideally an Intense or Extreme version) or a Parfum. You will also have to apply it generously, as it doesn’t make sense to buy a strong perfume and then not applying enough.
  2. Longlasting: the trick to find a longlasting fragrance is to focus on fragrances that come across as ‘heavy’, ‘rich’, ‘woody’ or ‘oriental’. A light citrus cologne or aquatic marine notes will never be longlasting.
  3. Radiant & Sillage: finding the fragrance for you that has both ‘projection’ and a beautiful ‘sillage’ is a question of trialling and wearing a few.

How To Make My Perfume Strong?

Once you have found your strong perfume, how can you make it stronger on you? The trade-off for making your perfume stronger using the techniques we describe here, is that it won’t last as long.

  • Pulse Points: to make your perfume stronger, apply it to areas of your body that are warmer because the blood vessels are close to the surface of your skin, e.g. your pulse points.
  • Area: the bigger the area you apply your fragrance to, the stronger the perfume will be, as it will have a bigger surface area from which it can evaporate. If you want a strong fragrance, don’t just apply it to your pulse points but also your neck, décolletage, hair, arms and even your scarf and clothes (as long as you have tested that your perfume doesn’t discolour them).
  • Don’t cover it: one of the tricks to make a perfume last longer is to keep it covered with the clothes you wear. We are looking for the opposite, a strong perfume. Hence, to make your perfume strong apply to your exposed skin, e.g. the neck, bare arms & hands, … or your hair.
  • No oil: don’t apply your perfume to areas where you applied lotion or oil, as the oil will bind with your perfume and will hold it back. In other words, it will less strong.

There is one technique that we do not find makes a perfume stronger:

  • Layering: we see fragrance enthusiast recommending that you should layer different fragrances to make the overall perfume stronger. They obviously feel that it works. This is, however, easily explained because if you spray a perfume several times it becomes stronger, regardless of whether you spray the same or a different fragrances. In other words, it refers back to ‘intensity’ we explained above, i.e. your perfume get stronger the more you apply, … which is obvious. Equally, if you layer a strong perfume over a weak one, the overall fragrance becomes stronger but why not apply the strong perfume twice, as it will dominate the overall note anyway. In other words, there is nothing within the technique of layering that makes a perfume stronger.

The Top 10 x Things Everybody Needs To Know About Perfume

by

As you grow to love perfume, you might like to find out more about fragrance and it is probably difficult to know where to start.

In this context, we are often asked:

  • What are the 10 x Things Everybody Needs To Know About Perfume?
  • What can you tell me about perfume? or
  • What should I know about fragrance?
  • etc.

You get the gist.

Eau De Parfum Person Reflection Sea Salt Sage Amber Woman Kiss Things Everybody Needs To Know About Perfume

With this in mind, we have created this list of the top 10 x things everybody needs to know about perfume:

  • Perfume Composition: Perfumes are crafted from a combination of various ingredients such as essential oils, aroma compounds, fixatives, and solvents. These elements work together to create the desired fragrance.
  • Fragrance Notes: Perfumes are often described in terms of top, middle, and base notes. Top notes are the initial scents that you smell upon application, while middle notes emerge as the top notes evaporate. Base notes are the long-lasting scents that remain after the perfume settles on the skin.
  • Fragrance Families: Perfumes are categorized into different fragrance families, such as floral, oriental, woody, citrus, and fresh. Understanding these families can help you choose scents that align with your preferences.
  • Fragrance Concentration: Perfumes come in different concentrations, ranging from eau de cologne (least concentrated) to eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and parfum (most concentrated). Higher concentrations typically last longer on the skin.
  • Skin Chemistry: Perfume can smell different on different individuals due to variations in skin chemistry. It’s essential to test perfumes on your own skin to see how they interact with your body’s natural scent.
  • Sillage: Sillage refers to the trail or aura left by a perfume as it diffuses in the air. Some perfumes have a strong sillage, while others have a more intimate or close-to-the-skin effect.
  • Storage: Proper storage is crucial to preserve the quality of perfumes because perfume does expire. They should be kept away from direct sunlight, heat, and extreme temperature fluctuations, as these can alter the scent, change the colour and degrade the fragrance.
  • Fragrance Layering: Fragrance layering involves using complementary products, such as matching body lotions or shower gels, to enhance and prolong the scent of a perfume.
  • Application Techniques: Perfume is best applied to pulse points, such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears, where body heat helps to diffuse the fragrance. Avoid rubbing the perfume into the skin, as it can alter the scent.
  • Personal Connection: Perfume is a highly personal choice and can evoke memories and emotions. It’s important to choose scents that resonate with you and make you feel confident and comfortable. Your fragrance becomes part of our aura that you radiate. People will remember you by your perfume.

These ten points cover key aspects of perfume, providing a foundation of knowledge for understanding and enjoying fragrances.

They can also be starting points for conversations with your friends & family about perfume. We invite you to ask them what they know about perfume or what their fragrance means to them.

As perfumers, we are continuously surprised by and in awe of what our customers, patrons, friends & family tell us about perfume.

Buy Perfume Online? 10 x Reasons Why You Should.

by

Have you already considered whether to buy perfume online? How do you buy your perfume at the moment? Are you happy with the way you buy perfume?

The internet has revolutionised the way we shop, not just for fragrance, making it more convenient and accessible than ever before.

Here are some advantages of buying perfume online:

  1. Unlimited Choice: Buying perfume online gives you access to unlimited choice. You can purchase directly from any retailer, country or Niche Perfumery House worldwide, without being restricted to what has been pre-selected for you by the perfume shop. In the words of Shakespeare: “The World is Your Oyster.”
  2. Maximum 3 Fragrances: When shopping in a physical store, the receptors in your nose become saturated after smelling three to four perfumes, making it difficult to fully appreciate the fragrance. Not only this, but you will notice a cloud of scent as you enter the perfumery department. This will already taint and block your receptors to ‘cloud your judgement’. Our noses are designed to detect differences. In other words, you will smell those notes less that you have already picked up unconsciously in the cloud. How often have you come home and puzzled why the perfume smells different from what you remember? By shopping online and discovering the perfumes at home, you can avoid saturation and give your nose time to naturally cleanse itself before moving on to the next scent.
  3. Test on Your Skin: Fragrances can smell different on each person, which is why it’s important to test them on your own skin rather than just a paper card. By purchasing perfume online, you can test it in your own time and environment, ensuring that you are making an informed purchase.
  4. Allow Time: Perfumes unfold and develop over time, and it can be challenging to fully appreciate them while browsing through a store. By purchasing perfume online, you can take your time and experience the fragrance’s top, heart, and back notes in your own time.
  5. Home Environment: Perfumes can smell differently in your own home environment than in a store, as the scent of your surroundings mingles with the fragrance to create your unique signature perfume. This effect is difficult to predict when standing in a store aisle.
  6. Peace and Quiet: Our noses need time, peace and quiet to discover and appreciate a fragrance. When trialling a fragrance at home, you can experience the perfume without the distractions of a bustling department store.
  7. Free Returns: Reputable retailers who sell perfume online offer free returns, so you can make a purchase with confidence, knowing that you can return it if it’s not the right fit for you.
  8. Gift: buying a perfume online allows you to buy a gift easily for a loved one or friend in a distant location. Add a gift card with a personalised not, some gift wrapping and let the retailer prepare & ship your gift.
  9. Price Comparison: this is the obvious advantage in the list. Shopping online allows us to compare prices.
  10. Convenience: do we need to say more? Shopping online really is very convenient, as you don’t need to carry your shopping around with you. Instead, it is delivered right to your door step.

When you read this list, you start wondering why we are all still buying our perfumes in Perfumeries, Department Stores and the Duty Free.

Don’t misunderstand us, we believe shopping in a wonderful store environment for beautiful perfumes with your partner or friend, is a fantastic experience that we would not want to miss for the world.

We believe, however, shopping for perfume online offers a viable alternative with very good reasons and you should consider it.

King Charles III: A Royal Signature Scent?

by

Will there be a Royal Signature Scent, both during the Coronation and the years of his reign? Are there some commonalities in the fragrances that King Charles III wears?

As a public figure, King Charles III, formerly the Prince of Wales, has been known to have a refined taste in niche fragrances and couture perfumes.

While the exact perfumes he has used over the years may not be publicly disclosed, there have been reports of some of his favourites.

We take a closer look at some of the fragrances that King Charles III has been said to enjoy:

  1. Guerlain Vetiver: This classic men’s fragrance has been a favorite of King Charles III for many years. It features notes of citrus, tobacco, and vetiver, giving it a fresh yet sophisticated scent that is perfect for both casual and formal occasions.
  2. Floris No. 89: Another favourite fragrance of Prince Charles is Floris No. 89. This fragrance is a combination of citrus, lavender, and musk, creating a clean and classic scent that is suitable for daily wear.
  3. Creed Green Irish Tweed: Creed is a well-known luxury fragrance brand that is favored by King Charles III. Green Irish Tweed is one of Creed’s signature scents and is a woody, fresh fragrance with notes of sandalwood, lemon, and verbena.
  4. Dunhill Icon: This fragrance has a modern and sophisticated scent that is a supposed favourite of King Charles III. It features notes of neroli, black pepper, and leather, giving it a masculine and confident edge.
  5. Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet: This classic fragrance was created in 1902 and is one of Penhaligon’s signature scents. It features notes of citrus, lavender, and pine, creating a fresh and timeless scent that is perfect for any occasion.
  6. Dior Eau Sauvage: In his book “Spare”, Prince Harry reveals that King Charles III would “slather the stuff on his cheeks, his neck, his shirt. Flowery with a hit of something harsh, like pepper or gunpowder, it was made in Paris.” It is believed he refers to Dior’s Eau Sauvage after-shave.

Looking at the commonalities of these fragrances, we notice the following:

  • He seem to prefers the following type of accord: citrus, fresh spicy, aromatic, woody. This is a very classically masculine accord.
  • Creed’s Green Irish Tweed, is the one that differs most from the others on this list, as it is a “green, floral, woody note”.

With this in mind, we believe there is an 80% chance that the Royal Signature Scent during the Coronation and his reign will be “citrussy, spicy fresh, aromatic and woody”.

Prince Charles: A Moderniser?

Prince Charles has expressed his views on modernization and the need to balance progress with preservation of traditional values and cultural heritage. However, it is important to note that his opinions on modernization and his approach to governance may not necessarily align with a strictly defined concept of “modernism.”

Prince Charles is known for his interest in environmental sustainability, organic farming, and architecture that reflects traditional design principles. He has also advocated for the use of renewable energy and the preservation of cultural heritage.

At the same time, Prince Charles has been known to take a more traditional approach to certain aspects of governance, such as his preference for handwritten correspondence and his support for charitable organizations that reflect more traditional values.

Overall, while Prince Charles has expressed his views on modernization, his approach to governance and leadership may be best characterized as a blend of traditional and modernist values.

Pairfum London A Royal Signature Scent King Queen

A Traditional & Modernist Royal Signature Scent?

It is widely expected that King Charles III will modernise the crown. Can we expect that he will modernise his Royal Signature Scent?

As perfumers, we doubt that his taste will change radically. However, we believe it is not unreasonable to expect that to see evolution and some change in his taste.

Were we asked to introduce a new Royal Signature Scent for King Charles III, we would present the following fragrances to him:

Bergamot, Basil & Patchouli:

This woody and aromatic accord opens with Bergamot, Lime, Green Leaves and spicy Basil. The heart is fresh with Lily, Freesia, Violet Leaf, Rose and Geranium. The note rests on a beautifully rich woody base of Patchouli, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Cedar and Amber.

You can view this fragrance here.

Grapefruit, Pepper & Black Cedar:

A rich, woody and spicy fragrance where the zest of Grapefruit & Bergamot infuse the opening with freshness. The sensual heart of Masculine Leather is enhanced by the rich spicy elements of Black Pepper and Nutmeg. The base is intense and woody with Black Cedar, Patchouli, Tonka Bean and Moss.

Find out more about this fragrance here.

Ginger, Elemi & Vetiver:

A surprising fusion of spices and freshness, it opens with notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit and hint of Lavender, combined with Ginger, Elemi, Nutmeg & Cinnamon. The heart is Geranium, Rose, Freesia, Gardenia, Jasmin and Orange Blossom, with fruity hints of Coconut and Raspberry. A base of Vetiver, Guaiacwood, Cedar, Amber, Cashmere Musks, Vanilla & Moss supports this note.

Discover more about this fragrance on this page.

Pairfum London A Royal Signature Scent Queen Consort Camilla

A Royal Perfume Experience?

Camilla, the Queen Consort, is known to have a wonderfully positive influence in her relationship with King Charles III.

It has been speculated that she has expressed her dislike to some fragrances that the Prince of Wales has worn in the past.

With this in mind, we would suggest a shared, Royal Perfume Experience to the King & Queen, when the time comes for a new Royal Signature Scent.

In this context, we highly recommend our own Perfume Experience Box, a Fragrance Library with 12 x Natural Eau de Parfum Intense. It allows Camilla & Charles to experiment with natural niche fragrances and perhaps to discover new olfactive accords they both love.

Will there be a new Royal Signature Fragrance? Will it be a Natural Niche Fragrance?

Knowing that Charles has always promoted Sustainability and a blend of the Traditional & Modernist, he might surprise us.

God save the King.

Seaside Fragrance Sex On The Beach Sunset Perfumer Reason

Has The Seaside Lost Its Smell?
Could Sex On The Beach Be The Reason?

by

Has the Seaside Lost its Smell and why would Sex on the Beach be the reason?

Who among us does not love a trip to the seaside and all that comes with it: the fresh air, soft sand, the sound of the sea and the tangy aroma we associate with it?

The fresh, salty smell of the ocean is one of the most distinctive smells on the planet.

It evokes memories of crashing waves, sandy beaches, the cry of seagulls and if we are very lucky, the wonderful aroma of Fishing Boats, Ice-Cream & Suntan Lotion.

While travelling for work recently, I decided to stay at a quintessential English Seaside town.

In the days leading up to my visit to the seaside I found that I was really looking forward to it, and I am sure if I could have gotten away with it, I would have brought along a bucket & spade, a fishing net for use in the rock pools and flip-flops.

Then, … I remembered that I had not seen or used my seaside essentials in over thirty years.

(Well, … that is my version of events and I’m sticking to it)

Seaside Fragrance Sex On The Beach English Village

After booking into a small family run hotel, I decided that if I was going to the seaside, then staying in one of the large chain run Hotels was not on.

So, on my first evening there, I went for a walk along the beach.

(Sorry, … but you will have to read a little further on for the ‘sex on the beach’ part)

The sun was setting and a beautiful warm breeze was blowing off the sea, I was in Heaven and had decided to keep an eye out for shops that would sell my seaside essentials after all.

It may have been tiredness or the simple fact that I was so delighted to be by the sea, but it was not until the following morning when I went for a walk on the beach before breakfast and heading off to work, that I noticed that the Seaside had ‘Lost its Smell’!

As a Perfumer for me the World revolves around smell, and if an aroma as distinctive as the Sea is not discernible, then there is something seriously amiss?

Seaside Smell Fragrance Sex On The Beach Sunset

If someone asked you ‘what does the sea smell of’ or ‘why does the sea smell like the sea’, would or could the answer be sand, sea breeze or even as the Victorians believed Ozone?

Not one single note can truly conjure up the smell of the sea.

So, … while standing wondering where the seaside smell had gone and at the same time burying my toes in the sand, which is something along with paddling that is a prerequisite when at the seaside,

I noticed that there was not a single strand of seaweed anywhere to be seen on the beach, no seaweed, no seashells only driftwood.

I was delighted to see that there was no rubbish on the beach, but not a single strand of seaweed either?

Sea Perfume Sex On The Beach Seaweed Algae

Then I remembered reading an article where scientists have finally discovered how the seaside odour is produced and it can all be traced back to an enzyme that allows algae to survive in their salty seawater environment.

The smell we recognise as ‘The Sea’ is produced by algae on the ocean surface that release an aromatic compound called dimethylsulfide (DMS) into the air.

While scientists identified ‘DMS’ as the molecule responsible for the distinctive smell of the ocean some years ago, exactly how it was produced in the ocean was unclear.

What was clear was that the molecule plays an important role in cloud formation and also provides chemical attractants that guides various marine animals including some sea birds, invertebrates, and even mammals – toward potential food supplies.

So in our world it is the equivalent to a restaurant sign saying it is open for business …

Sea Side Fragrance Sex On The Beach Kelp Algae

The researchers also noted that the gene appears to be present in many other marine organisms including ‘Seaweeds’ that also release DMS.

This may explain why so many plants that grow under the ocean or along the coastline have such a distinctive seaside odour, it may also explain why on some days the smell of the sea can be stronger than on others as different algae blooms flourish.

It may also be the reason why we not only know the smell of the sea, but the food that it provides has that distinct flavour that we all associate with it, a fresh brininess that creates that ocean flavour.

When discussing this phenomena with another Perfumer, they mentioned reading an article that spoke about seaweed reproduction, and the fact that during certain times of the year seaweed has a stronger ‘Seaside Odour’ than normal and, …

that scientists had discovered that during the seaweed reproductive cycle the female produced a lot more of these volatile compounds, so that all those handsome virile male seaweed swimming around in the ocean would smell this wonderful Perfume and come a calling.

Fragrance Sex On The Beach Seaside Village English

This gives a whole new meaning to ‘Sex on the Beach’.

So, … the next time you have the opportunity to visit the seaside, spare a thought for that humble wonderful edible seaside dweller, that not only helps provides us with the Seaside smell we love so much, but helps with the formation of clouds and that feeds a myriad of other marine life.

Another thought that should pop into your head is, that if this very special algae is smart enough to use a Perfume to attract their perfect mate.

Then this is the perfect definition of ‘Sex on the Beach’!

What are you waiting for?

A trip to the Seaside perhaps?

Or, … would your time be better spent finding out what is your ‘Perfect Perfume’?

That way your perfect partner will come to You …

Kate’s Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show

by

Tomorrow Tuesday the 21st of May see’s the opening of the Chelsea Flower show and the unveiling of Kate’s Garden

For this years show the Duchess of Cambridge has designed and helped build a garden called ‘Back to Nature’

The inspiration for this multi-sensorial garden comes from both childhood memories and her work on early childhood development.

Her firm belief that time spent outdoors during childhood playing an exploring, helps build a good foundation for children to become healthy, happy adults.

The Garden has been co-created with landscape architects Andrée Davies & Adam White of ‘Davies White Ltd’ Chelsea Gold Medal & People’s Choice award winners, in conjunction with the Royal Horticultural Society.

The Duchess’s theme in the garden also highlights and combines her work as part of the ‘Heads Together Foundation’ that helps people to come together, speak about and care for their mental health.

The aim of the garden is to show what benefits the natural world can bring to mental and physical well-being.

One of the themes that was intertwined into the Garden concept was that of  ‘Forest bathing’.

If you have never heard of this before, then we can reassure you that you are not the only one…

‘Forest Bathing’ also known as the practice of ‘Shinrin-Yoku’, is a Japanese concept where research has shown that immersion in forests and other natural environments promotes healing and wellness.

So a visit to a forest is regarded as being similar to natural aromatherapy.

Following research by Japanese scientists that spending at least two hours surrounded by nature in a Forest or natural surroundings, helped to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, boost our immune systems and improve memory and concentration.

The Japanese government in the 1980s introduced it as a national health programme.

It was also discovered during the studies that ‘phytoncides’ which are chemicals released by trees have an anti-microbial effect on humans

So for all of those who thought ‘Tree Hugging’ was only a form of protest to stop felling, then think again…

We should all be walking through, spending time in woods and forests and when no one is looking giving a tree a ‘Little Hug’.

Why not make a trip and immerse yourself into beautiful forest surroundings, and take the opportunity to breathe deeply, de-stress, and enjoy the wonders of a Forest.

Some of the other wonderful aspects of Kate’s Garden include a swing seat, a tree-house, edible plants, a campfire and a rustic den.

What Child would not find this garden enchanting and wonderful to play in..

In fact all of us here at PAIRFUM London, think that the Child within us all would love it xx
