Angel Perfume – The World's Most Expensive Scent

Angel perfume created by the esteemed perfumer Thierry Mugler in 1993 is one of, if not the most expensive perfume around today. This perfume is renowned across the globe, however, it is definitely a particular taste and not everyone is willing to pay for this sumptuous perfume.


Angel perfume is characterized by the complex heady and empowering blends of scents with notes of sweet berries and honey with undertones of vanilla, caramel and a touch of patchouli and sandalwood. The interestingly star-shaped bottle finishes off the perfume beautifully and it is packaged in a cute blue box. This creation, however is not for the faint hearted and you will not forget this bold scent.

Those who are more attracted to light, fresh and easy going scents may not want to wear Angel, but for those who enjoy a strong and complicated scent, may just fall head over heels in love with it! A great feature of Angel is that it lasts for the course of the day, so no need to keep topping up. That being said, it's important not to go overboard with this fragrance or you may have people fainting in your wake, for the wrong reasons!

Thierry Mugler has also produced a very fresh, aromatic scent for men called Angel Men which is also rather costly, however, it is designed to last for around 16 hours, so is essentially good value.

One thing to note with Angel perfume is that there have been a few recorded instances of the scent irritating asthma suffers and people with some skin conditions due to some of the strong ingredients used. Those with these types of allergies will more often than not experience this with any perfume, however with the strength of Angel perfume, perhaps more so. So it is worth bearing in mind if you have skin and allergy sensitivities.

If you are considering purchasing Angel perfume it may be a good idea to try it out first if you can, before buying a bottle, as the smallest bottle cost around the $60 mark. Many people like to look around for impartial reviews of a perfume to get an idea of the overall consensus. Many websites provide such reviews and will give a star rating. However, everyone has their own idea about a scent, so our best recommendation is for you to actually try a perfume that you are interested in.

Finding the Best Perfume To Suit Your Style and Personality

Just as every individual is unique, this is also true of perfume. You will find that lots of women and men have their “signature” perfume that they feel encompasses their character and overall style and it is usually a fragrance which promotes mood and uplifts the spirit. If you haven't done already, finding the best perfume for you may take a bit of trial and error, but you will have fun along the way.


Generally, younger women in their teens and early twenties prefer light, floral scents such as some of the Lacoste and Tommy Hilfiger ranges and a current top seller is “Very Irresistible” by Givenchy. These scents are usually made up of light notes with very little musky tones included.

Older women may opt for more spicy and musky aromas as well as the light, fresh scents for varying occasions. Just like anything in life, what is desirable for one person may be completely wrong for the next so it is just a matter of taste. The olfactory sense is a very complicated and sophisticated system involving the lining of the nose leading to the brain and can completely change your mood at the drop of a hat. The best perfume for you is usually the one which makes you feel the best whether it be more optimistic, inspired, more beautiful or just warm and fuzzy.

Some women like to have a selection of perfumes to wear for different occasions, times of the day and seasons of the year. You may have a particular scent that you like to wear on holiday which gets you in the mood for a fun but relaxing couple of weeks. Perhaps you want a perfume for becoming truly irresistible on a night out.

A good idea to find your perfect scent is to try out a free trial at a perfume store and wear it for a few hours. It is very difficult to find out which perfume you like if you are spraying one after another at the perfume counter as eventually you will not be able to smell anything at all and will probably develop a headache.

Finding the best perfume for you may take a few tries before you get it just right, however it can be fun to mess around with different scents and become familiar with the different notes and aromas that make up the overall perfume.

Pomegranates burst into the fragrance scene

This exotic fruit originated in tropical Asia but has been cultivated throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Only their beauty rivals the flavor of pomegranates, fresh or dried. Beauty and freshness are probably the underlying reasons for the emerging interest by the fragrance industry in using this fruit in their spring fragrances. Spotlighted in his Splash collection, Marc Jacobs gives the Pomegranate center stage with Pomegranate Splash. This fresh, fruity and ambrosial fragrance can very easily be worn by him or her. A number of other perfume houses have released Pomegranate fragrances in their own collections. Pomegranate Noir is the latest fragrance release from Jo Malone. Calvin Klein’s Euphoria also boasts Pomegranate in it. Bath & Body Works features Pomegranate in its Signature Collection Eau de Toilette Midnight Pomegranate. Pomegranate is clearly a fruit making its mark on the fragrance industry. Have you tried any fragrance featuring Pomegranate? Have you found a favorite that you like or dislike?

Using a Candle Fragrance to Heighten Your Mood

In this busy and sometimes manic world we live in, there comes a time when we actively seek a method to relax and help us unwind from a busy day. A great way to do this is with the use of a candle fragrance, where an essential oil such as lavender or other aromas such as vanilla essence can be slowly burned giving off a subtle but effectively relaxing scent.


Using a candle to help light a room gives a beautiful ambient glow and assists in calming the mind. When a candle fragrance is added, the result is even better and will help you to forget about your daily stresses and help you to unwind. Many people with extremely busy lives find that they cannot get a decent night's sleep due to the inability to shut off a racing mind. Research proves that certain fragrant oils such as lavender can reduce stress, quieten the mind and help you to get a good night's sleep.

Aside from the calming factors of using candle fragrances, they are also beneficial in giving your home a subtle but beautiful aroma. Rather than using plug-in fragrances which often use chemically enhanced scents, it is a far better option to use natural scents which can be used on an on-going basis without the worry of having an artificial smell about your house.

It is also worth bearing in mind than some types of candles are safer and more environmentally friendly than others. Try to opt for candles with wicks made with natural materials such as, hemp and cotton wicks. Make sure to read the ingredients of the candle and if possible, avoid added chemicals. For optimum use it is better to go for organic candles made from beeswax and soy wax as opposed to the standard paraffin.

If you are feeling a bit creative, why not make your own candles? You can purchase candle making kits or individual supplies available from candle stores as well as a wealth of online stores together with your fragrant oils. That way you will be in full control of what ingredients are used and be able to design your own unique candle which will suit your house perfectly.

If you want a super-charged relaxing method, try burning your candle fragrances when enjoying a bath. You will no doubt discover that this will usurp any sleeping tablets in helping you unwind for sleep. The heat of the bath together with the essential oils work magic to relieve those muscles and settle a hectic mind. Place the candles in a sturdy container and out of reach to optimize any mishaps and get on with that all important relaxation.

When you start every day refreshed after using your favourite candle fragrance to relax, you can use your favourite scent or perfume that makes you feel confident, sexy and happy. Your life is yours to fully live and enjoy! Enjoy the things that scents that stimulate your senses!

Is it Possible to Find a Wearable Cheap Perfume?

Through the years nothing has been slated more in the beauty industry than cheap perfume. Back in the 80's and even early 90's you could purchase cheap perfume such as “Charlie” and some of the Coty ranges for 1 or 2 dollars and sales were booming. The sickly aroma somehow managed to escape our senses and those “heady” days certainly left their mark in our memories for awful fragrances.


Nowadays, however, perfume selections are far more sophisticated and yes, it is possible to obtain a lovely light scent for a low price, especially if you are happy to buy from the Eau De Toilette selections which are obviously less expensive than the more concentrated perfumes - but every bit as wearable.

Arguably, one of the best value perfumes around is “Sunflowers” Eau De Toilette by Elizabeth Arden. This pretty, summertime scent is great for everyday use and comes at a very competitive price at around $15 for a 100 ml bottle. This perfume has a very fresh smell with notes of summer flowers, bergamot and other citrus aromas. This fragrance seems to promote a happy mood and is good for any age although perhaps more suited to girls and women in their late teens/early twenties.

The only downside to Sunflowers is the cheap looking packaging and bottle. Apart from the large sunflower on the side of the box, the design does not do the perfume any favours and it would not be surprising if some people were actually put off by this. However, due to the deserved success of Sunflowers, its reputation continues to outweigh the strangely ill-advised packaging and keeps sales sky high.

Another up and coming range of perfume which is reasonably well priced is some of the perfumes from the Britney Spears ranges. Some of the perfumes are getting rave reviews and they are not just targeted at young women. “Curious“ Women's Eau De Parfum is a lovely scent with main notes of lotus flower, magnolia and Anjou pear . Mid range notes bring out the pink cyclamen and finally sandalwood and vanilla infused musk for the base. This fragrance, which is ideal for women of any age, is a great scent for everyday use.

Cheap perfume is no longer a sickly sweet thin aroma that lingers far longer than desired. These days there is a wide range of beautiful fragrances available at extremely affordable prices.

Discount Fragrances – Finding Your Perfect Fragrance without Breaking the Bank

Have you ever walked past someone and wondered what that amazing scent is? Although many of us have out favourite scents, there are always new and improved fragrances appearing on the market that we just have to get our hands on. However, smelling good is big business and unfortunately, doesn't always come cheap. So where do we go to find those elusive discount fragrances?

With the copious amounts of websites vying for your custom, you have the world of scent at your fingertips with almost every type of fragrance available. If you look around, you can always find a bargain, and more often than not, you can enjoy free delivery.

However, internet shopping is not everyone's first choice for buying fragrances, as many enjoy the process of picking up the beautiful scent bottles and of course trying before purchasing. Sometimes it is the aesthetic layout of the scent department or store that entices us to buy a particular brand and having the product for immediate use. On the other hand, many websites offer a money back guarantee and the reduction on many of the top ranges is often just too big a temptation to go anywhere else.

If you are looking for a perfect scent and have an idea about what you want, then buying online is perhaps your best bet for obtaining discount fragrances. You know what you want and don't need to be targeted by a sales assistant and hypnotised into buying something else, forgoing that much needed discount. In a world where time is of the essence and getting the best bargain is top of the agenda, the internet comes out top on both counts.

You can also visit your favourite store's website and avoid the hustle and bustle. You may find that when you are in a busy store, you don't have the same focus. Shopping online allows you to enjoy the experience of shopping for a bargain without sapping your energy levels.

Men's Fragrances – It is Not Just Women Who Want To Smell Good

Up until very recently, fragrances, also referred to as perfumes or scent, were strictly for the female. Not anymore! Today, men can wear scent - in fact it is encouraged by many women and, of course scent manufacturers, and there is a huge selection of fragrances for men to choose from.


Today’s “metro man” is a modern man who is very secure in his sexuality and his sensitivity. The “metro man” is also secure in his intuition and inclination for style, grooming and fashion. Most man today do not feel less masculine or less heterosexual just because they like to look, feel and smell good!

After the birth of men's fragrances, it wasn't long before all the leading scent companies got onto the bandwagon providing a diverse range of fragrances. The market is growing fast every day. With A-list celebrities such as David Beckham and some of the leading stars in the hit TV programmes promoting perfume for men, the demand for men’s fragrances is growing rapidly.

One of the top selling fragrances for men on the market today is Black Code by Giorgio Armani. This popular scent has subtle citrus undertones with the main notes consisting of Bergamot, and Guaiac Wood and a little Bergamot and Aromatic Mediterranean flavours. Black code can be worn for any occasion and is perfect for wearing to work. It is not a heavy or over-bearing scent which makes it a great choice for everyday use.

Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme by Giorgio Armani, is also one of the popular men fragrances in the U.S and has been one of the top sellers in the last few years. With its fresh, light-hearted notes of Bergamot, Mandarin, Persimmon, Rosemary, Neroli, Nrasturtium and Jasmine, it is a great summertime scent and has an “optimistic” aroma. The Armani ranges are particularly popular and were one of the first brands to sell scent for men. The emergence of Armani ranges of scents for both men and women allow couples to buy scents which complement each other.

You don't have to be a metro-sexual male to wear scent. Men's perfume is simply a modern word for after-shave or the rather old fashioned cologne – and gives the worn out men's aftershave selections a new lease of life for the 21st century.

Having a great scent is essential for every man – and can create a positive impact in any aspect of man’s life – profession, career, sports, or romance.
