Why You Should Know What Fragrance Category Your Perfume Is From

When thinking of your favorite fragrances, have you ever wondered exactly how they are categorized? Tradition states that every fragrance belongs to one specific group or family. Even though they have different names, there are six basic categories of perfumes. The categories are:

Sweet or Floral

Clean or Sporty

Natural or Green

Oils and Musks

Woody and Chypre

Spicy and Oriental

Many people often find and stick with one specific fragrance, but others like to mix it up and base the fragrance they wear on the mood they are in that day, some even change it with the current season. Furthermore, age often is found to greatly affect the choice of fragrance. As a woman ages, the choice of fragrance matures at the same time.

Creed based in Paris is currently lead by the legendary sixth generation master perfumer, Olivier Creed. Olivier became a master perfumer in 1975 after years of study under his father. He has created some of the most fascinating fragrance in the industry, always adhering to the methods of hand production and insisting on using natural ingredients. Among his outstanding collections are the Green Irish Tweed (1985), Millesime Imperial (1995), Creed Spring Flower perfume (1996), Creed perfume Love in White (2005), Love in Black (2008) and Acqua Fiorentina (2009).

Spot Spoiled Perfume and Some Measures to Avoid Spoiling

Perfumes can be stored for around three to five years if stored correctly. Though when a perfume becomes spoiled highly depends on the variety of perfume that you are using and storage conditions are also of prime importance to prevent spoiled perfume. To achieve a maximum life span, store your bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Now, when do you know that you are holding a spoiled perfume? A perfume usually tends to deteriorate after some time. A spoiled perfume usually gets thick and darker than its original colour due to increased density. It starts smelling of alcohol or a sour odour is observed. Sometimes the perfume also lose fragrance. Now is the time to get rid of it.

Now comes and important question - "How to prevent your perfume from spoiling"?

How many times have we read on a perfume bottle - "Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight"? No wonder these are the ideal conditions for storing perfumes. Perfume should be kept at room temperature and it should be seen that they are not exposed to direct sunlight. If perfumes are stored properly, they can even be stored for 10-15 years.

When perfumes come in contact with extreme heat, the fragrance usually gets oxidized, which may result in loss of fragrance. You also need to take care of your perfumes, while transporting them from one place to another.

Make sure that they are kept in a cool place as inside a vehicle the heat builds quite fast. This leads to expansion and contraction of liquid due to the changes in temperature. They expand on heating and contract on cooling. If the perfumes are exposed to excessive heat, it may result in breaking or cracking of the bottle.

Expensive perfumes which are made from rare essential oils tend to last for a longer period than simple oil based drugstore scents.

A perfume made from natural flower or fruit extracts usually stands all tests of time and the exotic scents can still make you feel vibrant, even if they have spent years in your cupboard. A herb based perfume like lavender or eucalyptus often lasts for longer periods also.

You can also go for solid perfumes if you want your fragrance to be longer lasting. They are available in the form of sticks or balms, which can be rubbed directly under the arms, wrists or neck. They are obviously easier to store than liquid perfumes.

So, dispose of your spoiled perfumes, choose the right perfume for yourself and keep spreading the fragrance.

Sell Antique Scent and Perfume Bottles on eBay

It was not until the 1900s that perfume, then usually called 'scent', was sold in ready filled bottles. Previously scent was bought in plain bottles, functional not decorative, and most ladies (also men) owned an array of usually exquisitely ornate and intricately made bottles, sometimes made uniquely for them, often hand created, occasionally monogrammed or engraved and generating high prices today on eBay and elsewhere.

On eBay, recently, a globular - globe shaped - milk glass scent bottle attracted 38 bids and $1386.38 finishing price, and a Lalique scent bottle fetched $950. These are low prices compared to others selling recently on eBay or at offline auction houses. Consider, for instance, a 1910 Wiener Werkstatte cut glass globular design (there's that word 'globular' again and key to a very popular shape) that sold at Sotheby's for £1,000, and an egg shaped bottle/flask made from silver and hallmarked 1882 that sold by the same company for £550.

Things to Know About Scent Bottles

* This is a great area for speculating and risking a few pounds on something that might quadruple your investment or fetch much more. So many different collecting themes meet in the overall scent bottle experience that even the cheapest and seemingly most ordinary perfume bottles bought for a pound or two at flea markets, jumble sales and boot sales, can attract multiple bidders and high finishing prices on eBay. The trick is to focus on bottles with two or more collecting interests, such as maker and material, for instance, a Lalique glass bottle with silver stopper, or a bottle made by Bacarrat and decorated with gold leaf. Another good example is where original and subsequent use converge, as where a bottle once holding perfume can be used as a paperweight today. Two collecting interests in one item all but guarantees multiple bidders and enviable finishing prices.

* At flea markets and boot sales look out for box and tray lots of seemingly low value items, such as bottles of half-used scent from the 1950s and earlier. Some with undamaged labels detailing maker and perfume name, are popular with advertising enthusiasts, and like a 1930s bottle of Saturday Night Lotion featured in Millers' Collectables Price Guide can be worth up to £35 each, some much more. A good example is a 1930 bottle of Guerlain perfume 'Guerlilas' in Baccarat bottle that fetched £521.10 (about £280.00) on eBay, and a vintage bottle of Lotus Bleu Perfume by Moehr of Monte Carlo that fetched £78.00.

* A name can cause fierce bidding, for maker of bottle or perfume, better still both in one example. The big names to look for in bottle makers are Lalique (sumptuous glass creations often frosted or opalescent); Baccarat, specialising in quality crystal items, not just bottles; Galle, famed for stunning art nouveau designs that fetch high prices on eBay. Other popular perfume makers include Christian Dior, Guerlain, Estee Lauder, Avon. Avon created some of the world's most beautiful containers and many bottle collectors seek exclusively Avon creations which can fetch upwards of £100 each. They're not that hard to find at flea markets, or at boot sales where I picked up a 1969 Blue Blazer body powder shaker in the shape of Andy Capp which cost me 50p and is valued in Lyle's A Fortune in Your Attic at £100.

* Andy Capp is just one of countless characters whose presence on a scent bottle can make an everyday object worth hundreds, even thousands of pounds. Cartoon characters are especially popular, such as Bonzo Dog (my favourite) whose image appeared on thousands of collectable items including scent bottles. Also look out for Felix the cat who recently made $650 on a scent bottle, and don't overlook Disney characters, Betty Boop, Florence Upton Golliwogs.

* Amongst most popular subjects depicted on scent bottles are dogs and cats (cats seem more often to sell and at higher prices than dog depictions); hand painted flowers, place names on crested china bottles, almost anything of oriental interest.

* Some scent bottles, complete or just the stopper, were designed to be used later as paperweights, thereby reaching another popular collecting area and potential bidding wars between bottle and paperweight collectors. There's nothing to stop you describing your item as a paperweight and even listing under 'paperweights' in the Collectibles category.

* Detail all possible collecting interests in the title for your bottle and reach the widest possible market, such as a French 19th Century Opaline Egg Scent Bottle made by Baccarat that's just fetched $560.52 and doubtless appealed to collectors interested in: maker = Baccarat, subject = egg, material = opaline glass, age = 19th century.

Women's Fragrances Today

It seems like every celebrity out there has their own perfume or fragrance these days. I don't know if it's that they think they have something unique to offer the world, or if it's just an ego boost to capture their "signature scent." Just make sure that if you plan to purchase a celebrity fragrance, that you pay for the quality of the perfume and not just the celebrity name attached.

Make sure any fragrance you buy compliments your body chemistry. Just because it smells great on J. Lo doesn't mean it will suit you as well. Jennifer Lopez has had so much success with her fragrances that she has produced a number of them. Still, Glow, Live and Deseo are just a few. Celine Dion is another celebrity who has done very well producing and marketing a fragrance by her own name. Britney Spears' Curious has also been quite popular as well along with Midnight Fantasy, Believe, and Fantasy.

One of the newest perfumes on the market that has become increasingly well-liked is Sean John's Unforgivable. It's not often that a man can come up with a fragrance that appeals to women as well. Mariah Carey has two fragrances available, but M is preferred over Luscious Pink. Intimately Beckham for Women by David and Victoria Beckham is a pretty hot floral fragrance that has gained popularity over the past year.

Younger girls have gone crazy over Hilary Duff's With Love perfume. It's very girly and feminine. Paris Hilton has also released a number of fragrances, but it all began with her signature scent aptly named, Paris Hilton. Heiress and Can Can are also extremely trendy. For the edgier, punk rocker chick, Gwen Stefani does not disappoint with her L Lamb and Harajuku Lovers.

Probably the absolute number one top selling celebrity perfume is Lovely, by Sarah Jessica Parker. The name just says it all -- positively lovely. SJP followed that up with another popular perfume, Covet.

Of course, there are plenty of perfumes that are absolutely timeless. They will never go out of style. Celebrities come and go; popularity fades, but Chanel lives on forever! Estee Lauder has been a top seller of fragrances since the 1950s! Givenchy by Michael Hy has also been around for decades. Amor Amor by the Design House of Cacharel has only been around since 2003, but is a top seller nonetheless.

It seems that many of the top fragrances are floral in nature, but many include notes of musks, woods, fruits, or spice. Your fragrances may change as you age and depending on the time of day (or month!), your mood, or the event that you are attending, but choosing a "signature scent" is a big decision. When there's no special occasion, this will be you. Your fragrance. If it's with the help of a celebrity, great! If it's a timeless selection that always in style, fantastic! Just make sure that whatever fragrance it is, you love it and it loves you.

Perfume Marketing Trends - Celebrity Perfumes Define the '00s

It's nearing the end of the '00s, and many magazines are coming up with lists of the top trends of the past decade. For fashion, this decade, like many preceding it, had many hit and miss moments. While trucker caps and low-rise jeans might make a comeback in the distant future, what were some of the top fragrance trends this decade? One trend included combining two types of fragrances, such as floral and dessert notes into one perfume, but the most prominent trend for perfumes over the past ten years has been celebrity fragrances. Essentially, anyone who was popular even for a brief period came out with a perfume or cologne, if not a full line.

This concept isn't new, however. Even through the 1990s, some actors and singers had scents attached to their names. Notable ones have included White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, Samourai by Alain Delon, and Electric Youth perfume by pop star Debbie Gibson. Out of these three, both White Diamonds and Samourai are still in production, while Electric Youth stopped at some point in the 1990s. In the present, the same phenomenon can be seen, with A and B-list - even soon-to-be C-list - actors, actresses, singers, and celebutantes coming out with fragrances. Because this sudden explosion of celebrity name perfumes and colognes is somewhat recent, many are still in production, but will that be the case ten years from now?

Probably not. While White Diamonds and Samourai have become classic perfumes, most celebrity fragrances last as long as the actor or singer is in the public eye. Generally, those who purchase the fragrance are the fans and, when that pool dries up, the market for that particular perfume is gone. In fact, when a test was done earlier this year on celebrity fragrances, those who liked the perfume at first considered purchasing it - until they found out the name of the actress or singer attached to the perfume.

Celebrity fragrances, although extremely popular at the moment, are quick marketing and cash in on a singer's or actor's brand of the moment. In this case, a perfume displaying the celebrity's name is sold at the height of his or her popularity - often around when a new movie or album is released - and the fans grab it up. Larger fragrance companies like Coty and Elizabeth Arden have several celebrity perfumes and colognes in their product lines and, when one wanes in popularity, they simply release a new one for the latest A-list celebrity.
