Most pop stars or celebrities have attempted to make their own fragrances, some have been successful and others have disappeared into the black hole of one hit wonders. These days it’s surprising if a pop star hasn’t attempted to launch their own fragrance. When it comes down to it, the product is often un-memorable and we all go back to a favourite brand. However, I can make a few exceptions.

Return Policies

In addition to checking reviews, you’ll also want to be aware of a return policy when purchasing anything online. Despite the results any particular product provides for others, your experience may be completely different. If you need to return a product for any reason, knowing the policies and instructions ahead of time can lessen the time and effort it takes to receive a refund or replacement for your purchase. Also check for contact information, preferably by email and telephone. Should the need arise, you’ll want to make sure you can contact someone directly with questions or concerns.

I would recommend going down the path of checking reviews, ratings and retun policies on all products not just fragrances.

Unforgivable by Sean John: At first I was very wary at buying the scent because of it’s a little on the expensive side. You see, most celebrity fragrances carry a low price tag but this was quite expensive reaching the levels of the Armani’s and Versace’s. Anyway I thought it deserved a try and I wasn’t disappointed. Unforgivable is probably best for the colder, wintry periods rather than warm summer days. With a great citrus scent that gives warmth and a great dry down time that last throughout the day I was really impressed. The first scent that comes through is a lemon, fruity explosion that is strong but doesn’t cross the line to being too overpowering like some fragrances can be. This scent gets all the balances right and best of all it smells absolutely fantastic.

If you want people to think that you are beautiful, attractive and good, then the easiest way to do it is to select the right perfume.

From its inception in human history, cosmetics have always played different roles in making people presentable. Perfumes are one of the most used cosmetics since then, even though they were not made of synthetic contents as of today. But the fact remains that in ancient times, perfumes were used as part of ritual cerimonies. Back then aromatic grasses, wood and spices like cinnamon, cardamoms and fenugreek were squeezed into fluid to produce perfume.

The word “perfume” has originated from a Latin word “parfumare” meaning “through smoke”. Archeological researches say the concept of perfume came from Egypt. Of course, followed by other Chinese, Indians, Romaniansand Greeks before the whole world made it daily-essential in their lives.

Even though in the ancient culture perfumes were considered womanly affair, in today’s world there are as many male versions of perfumes as female ones. Some of the famous brands of male perfume are: Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss, Jean Paul Gaultier, Tommy Hilfiger, and Weekend for men and many others.

Beware that brand perfume by itself is not considered a fragrance. There are style conscious men who wear perfume according to their moods. There are perfumes that go with their schedule, for instance corporate, semi-casual or casual perfumes. Some of the corporate brands of perfumes for men are Sean John, Armani, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Hugo Boss which are the most chosen perfumes internationally for corporate getup. While Armani has a few corporate fragrances with woody flavors, together with Calvin Klein perfumes are supposed to be most luring with a heavy masculine touch. Read the rest of this entry »
