23/02/202431/01/2023 by Pairfum

Wearing fragrances is a poignant element of our personal expression and can be used to enhance one’s mood, confidence, and overall impression. However, wearing perfume can be tricky and it’s essential to know the best practices for getting the most out of your favourite scent.

From choosing the right fragrance to applying and layering it correctly, there are many factors to consider. Whether you’re a seasoned fragrance enthusiast or just getting started, you need to understand the art of wearing fragrances in order to make the most of your scent collection.

In this article, we’ll explore the best practices for wearing fragrances. Let’s begin.

1. Consider Your Body Chemistry

Choosing the right fragrance for your body chemistry is crucial for ensuring that the scent smells good on you and lasts throughout the day. Each person’s body chemistry is unique and can affect how a perfume smells on them. Factors such as skin type, diet, and hormones can all play a role in how a fragrance smells and how long it lasts.

To find the right fragrance for you, sample a few different scents on your skin and see how they react with your body chemistry. You should also keep in mind the time of day and the occasion for which you intend to wear the fragrance. Some aromas are better suited for evening wear while others are more appropriate for daytime use.

Additionally, pay attention to the fragrance notes and try to choose scents that complement your natural body odour. With a little experimentation, you’ll be able to find the perfumes that work best for you and make you feel confident and comfortable.

2. Correct Application for Maximum Longevity

Applying your perfume correctly is the key to making sure that it lasts throughout the day. That’s why it’s best to apply the fragrance to the pulse points of your body, such as the wrists, inner elbows, behind the ears, and the base of the neck. These areas generate heat, which helps to activate and release the aromas.

You should also apply the niche fragrance to clean, moisturised skin as it helps the scent to adhere better. If you have dry skin, your perfume is more likely to evaporate quickly. Try adding a dab of unscented body lotion or vaseline to your pulse points before spritzing your perfume. This will help to lock in the fragrance for a longer period of time.

Additionally, it’s a good practice to apply your perfume post-shower and wait a few minutes for the fragrance to dry before getting dressed. This will prevent the scent from being absorbed by your clothes, causing it to fade more quickly.

3. Layering Fragrances for a Unique Scent

Layering fragrances can be a fun and creative way to personalise your scent. It involves combining different fragrances to create a new and distinct scent. The key to layering fragrances is to choose scents that complement each other and have similar notes.

Layering a floral scent with a woodsy scent can create a harmonious balance, while layering a citrus scent with a spicy scent can create a more dynamic and contrasting aroma. Start with a light base, such as an eau de cologne or eau de toilette, and then layer a more concentrated scent, such as an eau de parfum, on top. The lighter fragrance acts as a canvas for the more concentrated scent and creates a complex and nuanced aroma.

Layering fragrances can also be done with other beauty products such as body lotions, shower gels, and hair mist. This helps to enhance the longevity and projection of the fragrance, and to make it more personal to you. Try experimenting to create a scent that is truly one-of-a-kind.

4. Appropriate Storage for Fragrances

Heat, light, and humidity can all affect a perfume, causing it to lose its scent, become less potent, or even spoil. To store fragrances properly, it’s best to keep them in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A dresser drawer, closet, mini fridge or vanity are all great options.

You can also keep your perfumes in their original packaging or in a tightly sealed container to protect the fragrance from the elements and prevent it from evaporating. Avoid storing your fragrances near radiators, ovens, or even in a car, as the high temperatures can cause the aroma to deteriorate.

Make sure to keep them in an upright position, which will help to prevent leakage and will keep the spray nozzle from clogging. With proper storage, you can enjoy your favourite perfumes at their best, each time you use them.

4 x Tips for Choosing the Right Perfume for You

23/02/202427/01/2023 by Pairfum

It’s not uncommon for a unique scent to trigger a long forgotten memory or association. That’s the beauty and power of fragrances.

When it comes to choosing your signature scent, it’s not as easy as looking at the shape and style of the perfume bottle, or reading online reviews. You need to pick a scent that will please your senses and suit your personality.

Whether you’re a perfume fanatic or you’re new to fragrances, choosing the right perfume can be a daunting and intimidating task. You need to understand the different fragrance notes and families, and find one that you’d like to be associated with.

A memorable scent will make people notice you as you enter or exit a room. This feat can be more easily achieved by picking a niche perfume, as they’re more unique when compared to other mass-produced fragrances.

At Pairfum, you can find a wide variety of exquisite fragrances as well as room sprays, diffusers, scented candles and much more. Our in-house perfumers are dedicated to creating a variety of unique and tasteful fragrances that can make you stand out from the crowd.

In this article, we’re going to provide you with some helpful tips for choosing the perfect perfume. Let’s get started.

1. Do Your Research

Don’t pick your perfume based on current trends and popularity. Take your time to learn more about your style and your tastes. Read up on your preferred fragrance families and notes, and find out the differences between them.

Gain a basic understanding of the various floral or fruity ingredients used in making the perfumes, and find a scent that you’d be comfortable wearing. The scents that you come in contact with on a daily basis can also be used as a starting point to help you get a hint of which key notes you’d like in your chosen fragrance.

2. Pay Attention to Notes

Perfume notes are the various scent layers that make up a fragrance. When choosing your perfect perfume, you need to pay close attention to the notes. Each perfume or cologne has a variety of notes, and these work in synergy to determine their overall scent. While some perfumes have floral or fruity notes, others may have spicy, woody or leather-based notes.

Before committing to a perfume, try to identify its base notes as that will typically last longer than the other notes. You could also choose your preferred notes based on when and where you’d like to wear it. For example, a sensual scent may be better suited for a night out, rather than an office space.

Check out our niche perfumes to find your unique fragrance notes.

3. Choose Your Preferred Concentration

There are four levels of concentration for perfumes. While the fragrances with higher concentrations offer powerful scents and are long lasting, they tend to be a bit more expensive. The perfumes with lower concentrations may not last as long, but they are fairly affordable and easier to find in stores.

The fragrance concentrations include parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne. Consider the event for which you intend on wearing the perfume and how long you want the scent to last. These factors can help you pick an appropriate perfume concentration.

4. Sample Your Scents

Just because a scent smells good on one person, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll smell the same on another. Your environment, the time of the day, and your personal body chemistry play into how a fragrance smells on your skin. That’s why one of the most crucial parts of choosing perfumes is to try them on.

You can spray a small amount of the perfume on your wrist and allow the warmth of your skin to reveal the scent. You should also wait a few minutes after testing the scent as your skin’s natural hormones and pheromones can either diminish or enhance the fragrance. However, if you’re still unable to choose the perfect perfume, you could try layering various scents to build your unique fragrance.

Pairfum London Happy Chinese New Year Mandarin Orange Fragrance

Mandarine Oranges and the Scent of the Chinese New Year

19/09/202324/01/2023 by Pairfum

Pairfum Person Reflection Mandarin Blossom Sandalwood Eau De Parfum

The ‘Mandarine Orange’ is a sweet, juicy citrus fruit also named ‘Mandarin’ or ‘Mandarine’. Read about why they are the scent of the Chinese New Year.

The role of Mandarine Oranges in the Chinese New Year !

The mandarine orange is a native of China and an important symbol of Chinese traditionanl culture, a symbol of ‘good fortune’, with a significant sacral meaning during the Chinese New Year festivities.

Mandarines are symbols of the New Year and the expected positive changes. The shape and colour of mandarines symbolise the Sun and connects with the yang principle (the positive and generative force of nature). A symbol of good fortune, luck and success, mandarines are exchanged between families, friends and colleagues as offerings of goodwill during this time of festivities.

These richly coloured fruits (orange / red / gold) are placed on the family alter in a large pile during the Chinese New Year celebrations and are synoymous with prosperity and wealth. For the same reason, potted plants, rich with hanging mandarine oranges are a favourite indoor decoration during this festive season.

In Cantonese, mandarine are named “gut”, meaning “the lucky tree.” It is an ancient New Year tradition of the Chinese to place pairs of mandarines and red envelopes with money, beside the pillow of every child, in the box with the New Year treats and above the rice container of the home. It is believed this will bring good fortune to the house and its family.

The Chap Goh Meh Festival, the 15th day of the lunar New Year, marks the end of the Chinese New Year festivities and serves traditionally as a day for matchmaking. Young girls throw mandarine oranges into the rivers in the hope of gaining a husband by honouring the full moon. Likewise, young men line the streets straining to gain a glimpse of these young ladies who were normally not permitted outside in days gone bye.

Other uses of Mandarine Oranges in China

The essential ingredient in many Chinese sauces is the dried peel of the mandarine orange due to its wonderful citrus oils and other aromatic notes that will richly perfume any dish and remove any oily taste.

On the other hand, in traditional Chinese medicine, the dried peel is used to regulate the flow of the energy of life ( or chi ). Natural philosophers in Old China prescribed the peel as a medical remedy to reduce phlegm, treat abdominal problems and to stimulate healthy digestion.

Mandarine Orange in Perfumery

Peel away the rind of a mandarine orange and out bursts a tempting mix of citrus oils with hints of cloves, ginger, jasmine and orange blossom. There are also undertones of star anise and saffron.

In perfumery, mandarine essential oil is greatly valued in the top notes of many light floral accords and colognes, for its invigorating, juicy sweet and fruity note but also its sensual, floral, neroli-like trail. The essential oil also blends harmoniously with other citrus oils and with many spice oils (nutmeg, cinnamon, clove).

Here at PAIRFUM, we are proud to introduce our new ‘pink grapefruit’ fragrance which contains mandarine essential oil. The addition of mandarin orange oil to the grapefruit accord makes this a truely great fragrance. It is indeed the perfect fragrance for the Chinese New Year.

‘Pink Grapefruit’ is available in the following luxury scented candles and reed diffusers:

Reed Diffusers (petite, classic and large size and in the bell, cube and tower shapes)
Reed Diffuser refill oil
Snow Crystal Candles (classic and large)
Soy & Flower Wax Candle
Message Candle

Pairfum Large Reed Diffuser Bell Signature Pink Grapefruit

Other fragrances within the PAIRFUM Collection that exhibit notes of mandarin essential oil are the following perfumes :

‘Mandarin Blossom & Sandalwood’
‘White Nectarine’,
‘Pink Powder & Violet’, and
‘SPA’

Happy Chinese New Year

We would like to wish all of our customers, partners, friends and families a Happy Chinese New Year.

3 Reasons You Need a Mini Fridge for Perfume Storage

23/02/202420/12/2022 by Pairfum

What do you normally store in your fridge? We bet it is just your regular dairy or food items, like milk, eggs, meats, vegetables and much more.

It may sound unusual but many perfume enthusiasts, e.g. parfumistas, fragheads, … have been promoting the trend of storing fragrances inside a mini fridge. There has been a lot of debate about whether or not it is safe to store your perfumes inside a fridge. We wanted to shed some light on why this is the ideal perfume storage option.

When it comes to fragrances, toilet waters, after shaves, eau de parfums and colognes, they all contain a high level of alcohol and between 50-200 different fragrance ingredients. The fragrance ingredients can be natural (e.g. essential oils), nature-identical or synthetic but each has specific storage instructions that are unique to it with regards to:

temperature,
light,
oxygen
humidity,
… and more

Just like you and many beauticians and make-up artists may store their skincare, beauty and make-up products in a mini fridge (also called beauty or make-up fridge), you will be able to maximise the lifespan of your perfumes if you keep them refrigerated.

Let’s explore the reasons why you should consider a mini fridge for perfume storage.

3 Reasons to Invest in a Mini Fridge for Perfumes Storage

Eau De Parfum Person Reflection Pink Rose Sensuous Musk Mini Fridge

1. Cooling Slows Down Perfume Ingredient Degradation

It is well established fact amongst perfumers and cosmetic scientist that heat accelerates ageing of their precious ingredients, whist cooling does the opposite. However, cooling taken to its extreme, i.e. the freezing of ingredients, may destroy their integrity. In other words, gentle cooling that you typically find in a household fridge is optimal.

When you purchase a perfume or fragrance, it starts to degrade the moment you open the box and expose the flacon to the elements: light, heat, oxygen, humidity. From the minute you purchase your perfume, take it out of the box and place it in your bed-or bathroom this process of perfume degradation begins.

Once the perfume is exposed to the outside environment, each individual ingredient within the perfume start to react with the elements in the outside environment and this causes degradation. You cannot stop or prevent this from happening, which is why we always recommend that you should use & enjoy your perfume, as it will not last forever. You can, however, slow down this ageing process by storing the perfume in a cool environment.

Few of us like, however, to keep their perfume (or beauty, make-up or skin care products) next to their food items, particularly food items that make take on the odour of your perfume, e.g. milk, bread, …

This is why it is beneficial to use a mini fridge for perfume storage. A mini fridge will provide a cool, dark environment, allowing the perfume to maintain its integral properties and stay fresh for longer.

Also, it is much more practical to keep a mini beauty fridge in your bath- or bedroom rather than having to go to the kitchen to apply your fragrance when getting dressed.

2. Perfumes Storage In A Dark Space

The case that your perfume comes in serves an important additional purpose. Obviously, the packaging is designed to present your perfume beautifully.

It provides, however, a most important secondary benefit by keeping the perfume bottle away from light. To some extend it also protects it the extremes of heat or cold but only for a short while, for example the time it takes you bring the perfume home in the heat of the midday sun or the freezing cold of shopping before Christmas.

Perfumes are made up of different ingredients, which can be chemical or natural. Some of these are flowers, spices, roots, herbs, citrus types but there are many more. Some of these react very sensitively to sunlight, such as spices, some flowers and vanilla.

If you want to maximise the time your favourite perfume and cologne keep their ideal olfactory profile, there are some some simple precautions that we recommend you keep in mind.

This is why it is so important to store your perfume the right way. One thing to keep in mind is that your perfumes need to be kept in a dark and dry place to protect it from its main aggressors, which are light, oxygen and humidity.

Moreover, perfumes are also required to be stored in a cool place. A sunny place, like your windowsill or a cabinet near a heater, will quickly destroy your perfume. A fridge, however, ensures that your perfume stays away from heat, light and humidity, which makes it an excellent option for perfume storage.

Additionally, if you store your perfumes in your bathroom, you need to stop immediately. It may be more logical, as you’re likely to get dressed for the day in the bathroom, but it is not ideal for perfume. There are changes in the bathroom temperature multiple times a day, for example, when you take a shower. It is also wet and humid for the most part, which causes perfume degradation.

3. Increases Shelf Life

All types of perfumes have a lifespan. No matter what fragrance you are using, it will have a lifespan of about two to three years, depending on its composition. Usually, synthetic perfume ingredients tend to have a longer shelf life and fragrances with natural ingredients require more protection.

Clean fragrances and formulations have shorter shelf lives as they are made without the use of stabilisers, preservatives or fragrance extenders. These fragrances might require additional care when it comes to perfume storage.

Refrigerating these types of perfumes can help extend their shelf life. Besides keeping their original olfactive profile, they will last as long on your skin, as when you bought them.

For example, you may find that where you have stored your perfume in a fridge that the note stays fresher for longer.

Are You Craving a Good Night’s Sleep? 14 x Tips!

23/02/202429/11/2022 by Pairfum

Scientific Research shows that nearly 60% of us are struggling to sleep well and yet we all value a Good Night’s Sleep.

Sleep is as important for your body as a healthy diet or regular exercise and poor sleep has been linked to weight gain and heart disease amongst other long term health conditions.

The effects of ‘lack of sleep’ are immediate, both physically and mentally, and it can become hard to concentrate. Over time this can lead to further worries about the lack of sleep, with ever decreasing circles that can end in anxiety or even depression.

It is important to take steps to improve the quality of your sleep as soon as possible. Start and create a routine and have a `bedtime’, a regular time you go to bed.

Woman Sleeping Hiding Under The Covers Good Night's Sleep

Dr. Fariha Abbasi-Feinberg, a director at the AASM, recommends adopting healthy sleep routine and suggests the following 14 x tips to address short-term insomnia:

Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Get up at the same time every day, even on weekends or during vacations.
Set a bedtime that is early enough for you to get at least 7 hours of sleep.
Don’t go to bed unless you are sleepy.
If you don’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed.
Establish a relaxing bedtime routine.
Use your bed only for sleep and sex.
Make your bedroom quiet and relaxing. Keep the room at a comfortable, cool temperature.
Limit exposure to bright light in the evenings.
Turn off electronic devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
Don’t eat a large meal before bedtime. If you are hungry at night, eat a light, healthy snack.
Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet.
Avoid consuming caffeine in the late afternoon or evening.
Avoid consuming alcohol before bedtime.
Reduce your fluid intake before bedtime.

Our recommendation is to invest in a good sleep spray and spray your pillow and sheets before you go to bed. The blend of Lavender, Chamomile and Neroli is scientifically proven to aid with falling asleep.

Following as many of these 14 x Tips as you can, gives you the best chance of getting a Good Night’s Sleep, even at times when it is difficult.

The Origins of St. Patrick’s Day

A post about St. Patrick’s Day is not complete without its history.

St. Patrick’s Day celebrated on March 17th, and is a day for remembering Saint Patrick and his contribution to Ireland.

The origins of St. Patrick’s Day can be traced back to the fifth century when Saint Patrick was sent by Pope Celestine I to convert Ireland to Christianity.

Saint Patrick lived in Ireland for most of the remainder of his life, during which time he established churches and ordained priests, converted wealthy landowners, distributed food, taught people how to read and write, and did many other things that helped the Irish people become Christians.

With this in mind, the Irish donate to Charity on St. Patrick’s Day, as a way of saying ‘thank you’.

What about the Shamrock?

A shamrock with four leaves is traditionally used to represent the Christian symbol of the Holy Trinity because it looks like three leaves and one stem.

In addition, the three leaves and one stem look like a person’s hand, which is an ancient symbol of prayer because it represents the hand of God blessing people.
