It\u2019s almost unthinkable to go outside without putting on some perfume. But, are we aware of some peculiarities and curious facts about the scented bottles that bring us the desired feeling of style and beauty? Let\u2019s find out\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/fragrances.bg\/image\/data\/Not Product\/interesting-facts-en.jpg\" alt=\"Did you know\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The history of perfumes stretches way back in time \u2013 there are archeological excavations that prove the use of perfumes from 4000 ago. This means that perfumes are twice as old as Christianity, for example!<\/li>\n<li>In the past perfumes used to serve as a cover-up of unpleasant odors coming from unwashed bodies \u2013 the grubby, as per the contemporary concept, aristocrats, bathed quite rarely (sometimes even months passed by before they had a proper bath), so perfumes were their weapon against unpleasant bodily smells.<\/li>\n<li>The first contemporary perfume was\u2026 ingested! The \u201eHungary Water\u201d perfume, created in 1370, is considered the first contemporary perfume, as there was alcohol in its composition (brandy). In order to get the best out of the perfume, except for applying it on the skin, you should also drink it! This practice would be a rather expensive experience nowadays, given the high prices of today\u2019s perfumes\u2026<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not easy to create a perfume \u2013 a good perfumer is known for his olfaction. One of the tests that beginner perfumers have to take is quite impressive \u2013 they are given a scent that consists of up to 250 different notes and they have to specify each one of them!<\/li>\n<li>Rubbing your wrists is wrong! It\u2019s amazing, but it\u2019s a fact \u2013 the well known habit of putting perfume on your wrists and then rubbing them energetically actually leads to breaking the perfume structure. Apply on the inner side of the wrists and elbows instead, as well as behind the years and in the middle of the clavicle and let the fragrance \u201cbreathe\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Men\u2019s perfumes are worn by women as well \u2013 we all have at least one example of a woman who likes wearing men\u2019s fragrances. It\u2019s an interesting fact that this is not a rare practice \u2013 about 30% of all women around the world use men\u2019s fragrances!<\/li>\n<li>The same fragrance smells differently on different people \u2013 the reason for this is that different people have different skin \u2013 there\u2019s pH, humidity, hormones, as well as many other factors. Don\u2019t buy a perfume if you haven\u2019t tested it on your skin! The fact that you like the way it smells on somebody else doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll like the way it smells on you.<\/li>\n<li>The most expensive nose in the world belongs to a\u2026 perfumer! It\u2019s understandable, just like an athlete would insure his legs as they bring him profit and glory, a perfumer would insure his nose. That\u2019s what Jean Charles did \u2013 according to some resources, his nose was insured for USD 1 million! An even more interesting fact about him is that, towards the end of his life, he totally lost his olfaction, which hasn\u2019t obstructed him from creating perfume masterpieces like Miss Dior despite his condition \u2013 just like Beethoven continued creating music after the loss of his hearing!<\/li>\n<li>Emotions can be smelled \u2013 probably a remainder of our past, when we used to heavily rely on our olfaction to survive, this ability serves us well even today \u2013 among the emotions we can feel with our nose are fear, happiness, and even excitement. Men can even smell when a woman is ovulating!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What is the most interesting fact that you know about perfumes?
