Today, it seems every celebrity has a perfume scent with their name attached to it. From Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely, to Britney Spears' and Beyonce Knowles' lines of fragrance to the classics of Chanel and Dior, there are hundreds of bottles to choose from. But how do you find the right one?

First answer, of course, is ignore the brand name or label. Just because Jennifer Lopez says you won't end up smelling like a skunk doesn't mean you won't. Choose a smell based on how it smells on your skin, and your personal tastes.

There are several basic themes which perfume manufacturers stick to: Chypre, citrus, floral, and ambers. Chypre scents have a woody, mossy, floral base to them. Citrus scents incorporate orange, lemon, tangerine, and grapefruit, much like Calvin Kline's CK One. Floral smells just as it sounds, like flowers. An example of a floral scent would be Chance by Chanel. Ambers have a delightful mix of musk, vanilla, spice, and animal scents, such as Obsession.

Once you've decided on a category of perfume to try, go to your nearest perfume counter. Try a few scents out on paper before deciding on one to put to the test. Apply to the back of your hand, and then wait an hour. If you do apply the perfume to your wrist, avoid rubbing your wrists together. This can crush the delicate buds of scent and distort the sampling. It isn't how a perfume smells in the bottle or immediately after application, it's how it reacts with your skin chemistry much later that can make or break a scent as one for you.

The reason behind this is perfumes have four layers. The first layer, or top note, is the first scent you get after applying the perfume. It's the most noticeable, but is also the one the fades the quickest. The next layer, or middle note, is the next apparent component to the perfume. It appears several minutes after applying the perfume, and can stay up to an hour before disappearing. The third layer, or base note, appears usually after a half hour and is the layer that stays on your skin throughout the day. And the final layer is one most overlook, the natural scent of your skin. Just like everyone's DNA is different, everyone has a unique skin chemistry that can affect the outcome of a perfume.

Keep this guide in mind next time you are perfume shopping, and you are sure to find a scent that's right for you!

I used to like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; that was until I saw their mugs pasted on the PETA website. Turns out the twins like fur... I like animals... so now, the girls suck. But hey, so does their perfume!!!

I have had 2 bottles of perfume by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for quite some time now. One is labeled, coincidentally...One. The other is called Two. Today though, we're going to focus on One.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is actually made by Coty. A designer name that has been popping up a lot lately. I have mixed feelings when it comes to Coty fragrances. I don't love the designer fragrances, nor do I hate them.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, has sad on my desk for nearly a year now. I got both from a friend for my birthday, and ever since first smelling them, I never really used it again.

Bottle:

One comes in a cylinder shaped bottle. The glass is clear with a very slight tint of blue added in. Running down the length of the bottle is the name of the perfume. There is nothing special about the bottle, nor would anyone want to save it once the perfume was gone.

Scent:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty smells like blueberry mixed with hand soap. It is supposed to be a clean, fresh scent. However I got a soapy blueberry bubble gum scent. It's not really that natural, but it is a relatively playful scent.

I liked it. I really did. Even though the scent was not a natural one, or sophisticated one, it was still a pleasant one.

Last:

So I liked the scent... however there is no point in liking a scent that does not last for longer than 5 minutes. That was seriously all I got out of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty. The scent smelled lovely for 5 minutes, and then it vanished; up and disappeared... not a hint, not a trace...just gone.

Recommended Wear:

What wear? There is no wear to recommend wear.

Overall:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a nice scent, it truly is. Sadly though, nice scents are 100% useless if they do not last. For me Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is a waste of natural resources. It's sad that they would release such a suck-o-rama in a bottle.

Pricing and Availability:

You can still see this crummy stick of perfume in local stores such as Walmart, Kohl's and other department stores. The pricing is around $10.00 for the bottle. You can also buy them in gift sets, which would include both One, and Two.

Sadly though, I do not even find One, to be worth $1.00.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a skip in my opinion. It just does not stick around long enough for me to go ahead and recommend it.

In related news, Kim was apparently less than impressed with her recent tour of the White House while she was in Washington DC.

A source close to her explained, “The West Wing is not part of the regular tour, but they do let celebrities see it. Kim was amazed at how much everything looked like the TV show The West Wing, but she was surprised at how small it was, saying her house was bigger.”

I have no idea why Jennifer Aniston always feels the need to pose semi-nude? She has a nice figure? fine, but how many times must we see it, in this way? I don't really understand her, in one breath she says, she doesn't like the attention of the press and the next time I see her, she seems to be doing all she can to gain their attetion (posing like this, having her birthday party photographed, looking with cow eyes at Gerard Butler)



I was a fan of Friends, partiularly David Schwimmer and I felt he was over looked in favor of Jennifer for the simple fact, she was married to Brad Pitt, As far as I can see David as well as the rest of the cast (including Lisa Kudrow, were every bit as talented then Aniston.) It just shows, popularity in Hollywood has little to do with talent.



She doesn't want attention? she could leave Hollywood and have a very nice life for herself, as for Brad, he seems happy to me with Angelina, he has never said a bad word about Jennifer, so why all the hate from her fans? I wish Aniston would stop implying about her divorce. it would be nice to see her really work on her acting, come back and do something dramatic, find someone to marry or don't, have children or not, whatever her heart desires but I am tired of hearing about her every five minutes.

Did you know you could make homemade solid perfume in fragrances of your choice? Many people don't realize how easy it truly is to create their very own special homemade fragrances. If you have a difficult time finding perfume you like, or if you just want to have fun experimenting with fragrances, give the following homemade perfume recipe a try. You can even add sparkles that will add a touch of glitz and glamour to your skin, and you can experiment by combining various scents to create unique signature fragrances. Share your homemade perfume with others and you might even end up with special requests for the unique scents you create in your home.

Perfume in a Jar

Before beginning, you'll need small containers in which to store your homemade perfume. Small plastic containers with lids can be found in the storage section of most discount stores, and as long as they are heat-resistant, they are fine for this project. Alternately you can search craft stores for small decorative jars that are much more attractive. They are the best option if you plan on giving your homemade perfume as a gift.

To make homemade perfume in a jar you'll need 4 ounces of natural beeswax, 6 ounces of shea butter, 8 ounces of olive oil, and 2 ounces of fragrant oil of your choice. You'll also need a double boiler, and if you want your perfume to shimmer and glisten, consider buying very fine glitter.

Begin by melting the beeswax in a double boiler over moderate heat. After the beeswax has melted, stir in the shea butter, and continue stirring until the two are well mixed. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the fragrant oil, and stir this mixture into the melted beeswax and shea butter. Stir in a small amount of very fine glitter if desired.

While the mixture is still warm, carefully pour it into small decorative jars, and allow it to continue cooling before covering and storing. This homemade perfume recipe makes approximately 18 ounces of solid fragrance.

Gift Giving Ideas

Homemade perfume in decorative jars makes a wonderful gift for those who appreciate fine fragrances. Consider making an attractive gift basket including several decorative jars containing various scents. Label each jar with a custom-made peel and stick label, and include your own special sentiments. Line the gift basket with shredded colored tissue paper, and place the jars inside. Surround the basket with clear cellophane, and tie the top with colorful paper twist or ribbons of your choice. Anyone who loves fragrances will be delighted to receive this very special and exceptionally impressive homemade gift.

Delices de Cartier reminds me of cherry pop. When I received a sample of this perfume, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the strongest scent of the fragrance was fresh cherry. This is only the second perfume that I've ever tried that smelled like cherries. The other one was a body spray from Bath and Body Works. The Delices de Cartier is much richer, and in addition to the cherry scent, it has other scents that compliment it. This perfume is very fruity and flower without being too sweet or over bearing.

I was curious to see what other fragrances the Delices de Cartier, so I searched it on Sephora.com to see if they listed the scents. Sure enough, I found that Delices de Cartier has essences of iced cherry, jasmine, pink pepper, freesia, amber, tonka bean, (tonka bean?), bergamot, musk and sandalwood. I love how the fruitiness and sweetness combine with the woodsy hints of sandalwood and musk. The main scents that jump out at me are the cherry, of course, freesia and sandalwood.

I was trying to conserve my sample of Delices de Cartier because I liked it so much, so I was using very wisely and sparingly. I was hoping that the small amounts that I was using would make my sample last for a while. I wore this perfume when I went to a wedding shower. My aunt told me that she loved how it smelled. She was surprised when I told her that I was wearing a perfume by Cartier. She remembers Cartier perfume as smelling very woodsy and rich and not sweet and fruity like the Delices de Cartier smelled.

I reminded her that this was a more contemporary Cartier and maybe geared toward a more youthful customer base. Even though this fragrance is fruity and sweet, I feel that it is appropriate for all age groups, even very mature wearers. Delices de Cartier perfume in my opinion is acceptable to wear during the day or at night. For as light and sweet as it is, it does have staying power. It doesn't fade or change how it smells after I've had it on for a while. This unique perfume stays true to it's original scent all day and I feel it compliments my individual body chemistry.

I would definitely purchase Delices de Cartier perfume when I finish with the sample. In my opinion, I think it is a very versatile perfume that can be worn for any occasion and by any age group. Cartier has been around for years and years and to me, remains very popular with fragrance consumers both young and mature.

It's happens to all of us. You're standing in a room or passing by a crowded street or sidewalk and all of the sudden, a truly tantalizing scent catches you completely by surprise. Almost unconsciously, your head swivels as you crane your neck to catch a glimpse of the one who nearly lifted you off your feet with such an arousing fragrance.

The general consensus seems to point out that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. Selecting the right fragrance to suit you becomes a sort of art as you attempt to find the perfect blend between flirty flowers, juicy fruits, musk and more.

Once you find the ideal scent to match your personality - sexy, playful, subtle and so forth - you can begin to take advantage of the powerful impact fragrance has on members of the opposite sex. Consider investing in a travel-sized vial of your preferred perfume as well, so you can easily transport it and always have it with you for a quick freshening up.

As you become comfortable with your new fragrance, take things to the next level by introducing it into your love life. If you won't see your sweetheart for a number of days or weeks, be sure to pen a passionate love letter, and don't forget to spritz a little of your perfume on the stationery before you pour your heart onto it. If you're feeling especially daring (or sappy) you can complete the romantic effect by sealing the envelope with a lipstick smooch.

Another great tactic is to spray a bit of perfume on yourself just before you borrow an article of his clothing. If you'll be wearing his jacket for a while in the colder weather, spray a little perfume on the back of your neck without getting any directly on his coat. This way it will subtly adhere to the coat's collar so he notices your fragrance and thinks of you immediately the next time he wears it. If you forget to bring your pajamas and have to borrow a t-shirt one night, just spray a tiny bit of your fragrance on your body to gently introduce it onto his clothing. Whether he wears the shirt again or washes it when he gets it back, he's sure to recognize your fragrance.

For the grand finale, linger in bed just a little while longer than your honey does. When he leaves the room to brush his teeth or shower, spritz some perfume on his pillow, either on top or bottom, or a little bit on both sides. This tactic is especially effective if you won't see each other for a little while, because you know you will be the last thing he thinks about before he falls to sleep, and also the first thing he imagines when he wakes up. As soon as his head hits the pillow you will be on his mind, and if not in his arms, what better place to be?

Seductive Places to Target with Your Perfume:
- Spray a little perfume on letters and birthday or holiday cards.
- Let a little of your fragrance remain on his clothing that he lets you borrow.
- Apply a little perfume to your pulse points while you are in his car so the fragrance lingers just a bit.
- Leave him a gentle, sexy reminder by spraying a little bit of perfume on his pillow, especially when you won't be around.
- If he keeps a blanket in his car or draped across his couch, be sure to introduce just a touch of your favorite fragrance so he thinks of you right away when he uses it.

Perfume is a wonderful invention, allowing you to make your presence known, even in your absence! Get creative and realize that this aromatic accessory can enhance your romantic side, intrigue your partner and bring your face to mind even when you aren't physically present. Instigate more intimate moments with a spritz here and there of a sexy, flirty fragrance. You won't regret it!

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born without a body odor, develops a super sense of smell, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. His work takes a morbid turn as he searches for the ultimate scent: human!

The way I found out about this movie has to be the strangest way I've ever found a movie. It must've been fate! I was talking to my friend, Becca, and I joked about how there should be horror-themed perfume. So, I thought I'd Google it. I did a search on the terms "horror" and "perfume" and near the top was the "Perfume" movie. I thought it was a joke so I just had to see it. After a few moments I realized it was for real and then I saw Dustin Hoffman was in it which I just had to see his role.

Going into this I wasn't sure what to expect. I pictured a fancy corporate type of setting. I was really surprised to see that it was actually set in 18th century France. It looks very authentic and beautifully done. This just set it apart from most current horror movies lately.

The story is based on the 1985 literary historical horror novel of the same name (originally published in German as Das Parfum) by German writer Patrick Süskind. It's a very unique story which is refreshing. A man killing women to make perfume out of them, even going as far as to put one victim in a giant vat to soak. How unique is that?!

The movie follows the life of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, starting out with his birth where his poor mother tossed him out to die at the fish market. He's saved and he's passed from person to person and. growing up, His sense of smell grows to superhuman levels. Later, he comes across an aging perfume expert, played by Dustin Hoffman, and is promptly hired to create perfumes for the wealthy. Then he gets weird and starts out on his quest to create human-scented perfume. He's both sad because no one really loves and he's alone. On the other hand, he becomes an arrogant, emotionless and cold-blooded killer. Follow him on his morbid search for the impossible.

The acting is just superb. Very professionally done. I wasn't sure if he could pull off his role as Giuseppe Baldini, the aging perfume expert. But, he did so well and the make-up so good that it took me five minutes to recognize him! He did great. Ben Whishaw is perfect as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (although he's supposed to be hideous in the book), as the emotionless killer. Alan Rickman (Prof. Snape in Harry Potter) surprised me with his appearance as Richis, one of the members of the French staff. Everyone else is just great as well.

The SFX are done well. Some might be a tiny bit gory but, overall, not very bloody. Quite a bit of female nudity and a giant orgy of nudity near the end make this not a movie for the kids (if the serial killing already didn't tell you that!).

The ending. Well, it has to be one of the weirdest, abrupt changes I ever seen in a movie. While the first 4/5's was totally serious as a horror/thriller/mystery, the last fifth suddenly turned into sort of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. It almost ruined the entire mood of the first part for me. But then it turned again, while still like a bizarre fairytale, it regained a horror note with a perfectly disgusting ending. Still, I'd of preferred it if they had kept the same "realistic" feel as the beginning. I'm not sure how the novel handled the ending but, here, it just came off as a morbid tall tale.

Overall, a very unique tale with a very weird ending. Everything about this film is professionally and beautifully done. Definitely worth a view for all horror, thriller or mystery fans.
