"M" Perfume Body Oil by Mariah Carey

Perfumes are meant to make you smell good. They are combination of perfume oils and alcohol. Alcohol gets evaporated and you get different fragrances at different point of time, this is the USP of perfumes. This USP sometimes turn out to be a deficiency as well. Perfumes might get evaporated if they are left open to the environment.

To cope up with this deficiency, perfumes are placed in airtight bottles. Airtight bottles prevent perfumes from evaporation. There are mainly two types of bottles used for carrying perfumes. One is Eau de toilette and the other one is eau de cologne perfume. They have stoppage and lids which make them airtight and made up of opaque & colored glass which protects perfumes from direct contact of sunlight.

Many people like the design of the perfume bottles. Lots of people have a habit of collecting perfume bottles. Perfume actually doesn?t matter for these people, what matters is the design of the bottle. Many perfume brands got popularity just because of their unique design of the perfume bottles. It is fact that a designer perfume bottle attracts customers.

With the help of perfume bottles, archaeologists figured out that perfumes had high significance in ancient time. Archaeologists have discovered perfume bottles buried along with dead bodies with people of that time. The pyramid of Egyptian pharaoh had many things along with the dead body of the king including treasures, alcohol, utensils and perfumes. The history of decorative perfume bottles starts from the renaissance period of Venice where bottle manufacturers started making small & decorative glass perfume bottles. Then it got popularity all across the European countries around 16th and 17th century.

Murano, the famous glass manufacturer of Italy got popularity in the production of perfume bottles. The perfume glass consists of many different materials. At that time in Germany, many things were used to decorate the perfume bottle including enamels and other embellishments. The perfume bottles got popularity in England around 18th & 19th century.

In England, during the 18th and the 19th centuries the use of perfume containers gained popularity, as a wide variety of materials such as enamel, silver, and porcelain were being used. The enamel bottles were designed in such a way that they contained glass vials with lids or stoppers to hold the perfume. These perfume bottles were decorated with delicately painted flowers, classical scenes, and landscapes.

Today the bottle industry has grown up and every day new experiments are carried out on designs of perfume bottles. The design bottles can have any shape whether it is spherical shape like a golf ball or an apple shaped bottle. The creativity has no limits and same applies on design of the perfume.

Significance of perfume bottles

There are various elements that are considered in the preparation of any perfume. If you are buying perfume, it is worth being able to understand what the perfume manufacturer displays on the bottle. To make the right choice, it is worth knowing what to look for. No one would eat food that was not clearly labelled, yet many people are uncertain of their perfume ingredients or the preparation methods that create them. This is particularly important in modern times when pollution levels have increased sensitivity and allergy levels.

Firstly, the concentrate of the blend of the perfume that you choose has a high impact on allergies. If you have intolerance to the ingredients that create the fragrance, then you can control this to a degree. The lowest concentrated blend is found in Eau de Cologne, which has a maximum of 5% pure perfume ingredients. This means that any reaction will be minimal in comparison to the other strength perfumes that are available. The next lowest strength perfume is Eau de Toilette which has a concentration of between 4% and 10% of perfume ingredients. The Eau de Perfume will contain between 8% and 15% pure perfume, whilst any labelled Perfume is the strongest with between 15% and 25% pure strength ingredients.

All perfumes must state the level of potency on the packaging. Make sure you are aware of the strength, and try a lighter compound if you have any adverse reactions. If you have a reaction to all of the above strengths, then you will need to consider other factors.

Another reason behind an allergy or reaction may be the ingredients used in the perfume to create the fragrance. Synthetic perfume sometimes contains synthetic scents. These synthetic scents are created to mimic a natural smell, but can be more easily controlled. Some natural ingredients are evanescent or short lasting, and so synthetics are used to make the perfume have more staying power. They also increase the life span of the perfume, as synthetic ingredients have a longer shelf life. Although the perfume and its ingredients are rigorously tested, there may still be an adverse reaction in some perfume wearers. If this is the case, then look for perfumes that contain natural ingredients only.

It may not be the perfume causing the reaction, but the base ingredients. If you have an allergy to the carrier alcohols in perfume, then natural perfume is your best option. These will be labelled as either `natural` or `botanical` perfume and these are becoming much easier to find. The reason behind this is the rising interest in global environmental and health issues. Natural perfume is oil and water based, and will not contain any synthetic ingredients. This reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions. These have many advantages in that the perfume is often organic and environmentally friendly also. However, the disadvantage is that the perfume does not last as long as the synthetic types; a small price to pay, however, for well being.

Finally, the allergy may actually be due to the natural ingredients. There is a misconception that all natural things are safe and good for you, but in reality this is not necessarily true. Most natural oils in their purest form should not make contact directly with skin, as they would be harmful. If certain pure oils have an adverse effect on you, then make sure you only buy perfume that does not contain them. If you suddenly develop intolerance to a perfume that you have previously used, consider other factors in your environment such as a change in temperature, diet or even washing powder.

The best thing to do when buying perfume is to make sure you are aware of the ingredients, and make sure you buy according to what suits your skin type. If you do suffer a reaction from perfume, consider the elements outlined above and try to determine the cause. Once the cause is found, it can be eliminated by choosing a perfume that is right for you.
