Perfume can be one of the most seductive parts of a woman’s style. Picking the right perfume should be given as much time and care as picking out those perfect shoes or that wonderful dress. Perfume is an extremely sensual accessory that throughout the years has become an extremely potent tool in attracting members of the opposite sex.

Perfume companies have reinforced this perception with adverts that show the world’s most beautiful women and the seductive effect that they have on men. There are hundreds of celebrity endorsed perfumes that are pitched to appeal to a different market. The image that the celebrities have has a real influence on the image that the perfume gives out.

Marketing directors for the perfume brands work hard to match their perfumes with a suitable celebrity so that the scent and the image match up. There have been some notable disasters such as the Jade Goody perfume but on the whole celebrity perfumes have become extremely popular. The hardest thing for these marketing managers is to find a celebrity that is both beautiful and sexy but also one that attracts both men and women. Women should want to be like her and men should want to be with her. Perfume marketing delivers the perfect image of femininity and works by enticing customers that want to achieve this ideal. Some of the best examples of celebrities that best endorse this are;

Kate Moss

The supermodel has been the face of a number of different types of perfume. She represents a type of beauty that is loved by both men and women. She manages to live a party loving life yet still look incredible. Despite criticisms from the press for her rock and roll lifestyle she still has an incredible following. People seem to appreciate her edgy reputation and in many ways it has contributed to her popularity. She has become a popular icon and is seen as a free spirit. It is this that makes her a great choice for perfume endorsement and there is no doubt that she will be lending her incredible look and beautiful body to more perfumes in the future.

Eva Mendes

This Latino beauty is set to put her stunning features to the latest Calvin Klein perfume. Spotted by talent scouts whilst browsing through items at a friend’s garage sale she has subsequently made a huge impact in Hollywood. Starring in the films once upon a time in Mexico and 2 Fast 2 Furious she has set hearts fluttering across the globe.

She is admired by women who appreciate her incredible beauty and unlike many Hollywood stars she does not appear to possess the arrogant attitude that many of the stars do. As a result she is extremely appealing to women that want to be both sexy and seductive without appearing promiscuous. Calvin Klein were thrilled that she was to become the face of their perfume and drew attention to the sexy and provocative essence that she brings to the brand. She is an iconic beauty.

Catherine Zeta Jones

I would be amazed if you could find a single woman in the world who not like to be compared to Catherine Zeta Jones. This welsh beauty has captured the hearts of men and women alike and has a endorsed a number of perfumes and various cosmetic products. Now a mum she is a role model to mothers all over the world.

It is quite normal to expect people to want to look attractive and this might explain why anti-aging skin and beauty care products are so successful; this is due primarily to the fact we are all living longer and want to continue looking younger as we mature and age. This is done using skin and beauty care products that encourage the growth of the protein collagen which happens to be the main source of the protein used in the connective tissue of skin; collagen is plentiful, it makes up about a quarter of the total protein content of structural protein found in skin.

This area of anti-aging treatments is connected to another group of products that help people to look youthful; called antioxidants, they help flush out deadly toxins from the body and help reduce the signs of aging.

Although the benefits of vitamin C (an anti-oxidant) are well documented, it is still debated as to what our daily amount should really be. Skin care treatments that are based on vitamin C, pose the problem of becoming oxidized themselves as they come into contact with air during their usage.

More stable skin care treatments are now available that are almost as efficient and actually cost less to manufacture. Unfortunately the anti-oxidant products used to replace vitamin C are not as effective but as vitamin E and lipoic acid can both have the same effect; this is not too much of a problem.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant and is found in human blood; there is some evidence to show it helps prevent many diseases including cancer. On the other hand, lipoic acid or alpha-lipoic acid is necessary for producing energy which keeps us alive; it is also known to fight the signs of aging very effectively by repairing skin damage caused by the aging process.

Another group of product s used to reduce the visible signs of aging are phytochemicals which are compounds extracted from various plants and used in many anti-aging skin and beauty care products. Another benefit of phytochemicals, like those of alpha-lipoic acid, is their ability to reduce the prevalence of certain cancers; examples of these are:

*Prostate Cancer
*Breast Cancer
*Colon Cancer

These are some of the most common (and increasingly so) cancers in the world today. It has also been discovered that there are anti-aging benefits to vitamins B5, B6 and B12.

The field of anti-aging skin and beauty care products is vast and needs a great deal more research. While a great deal has been learned about this subject, it is only the tip of the iceberg; however, research is moving forward at a fast pace and it is only a matter of time before a new generation of products come to market.

There may be still be many challenges to overcome but in time scientists believe they will succeed in producing more effective anti-aging skin care products that are less expensive and more widely available.

It may be time to learn that not every synthetic anti-aging product is going to work; man-made products may never replace those that are naturally available! Regular sleep patterns, exercise, a good healthy diet and less stress will all contribute to reducing the signs of overall aging, for instance!

I recently began selling to the retail market after being a Perfume Wholesale Distributor in the Discount Perfume industry for over 28 years. I started selling the pricing. If it is too good to be true, it usually is.

To further my research, I purchased the Coco Mademoiselle. At first glance it looked real but then I
closely examined the details of the packaging and components against one I purchased from a distributor for Chanel. There were obvious differences between the products.

Here are some things to look for that will let you spot counterfeit perfume. You can do this by comparing the item in question against one from a department store.

1. Examine the outside packaging. Is the lettering the same font and type?

2.Is the wording on the box in the same place?

3. Is the box folded and glued in the same manner? Is the seam even and properly connected? Does it fall apart when handled?

4. The detail bordering need to be the same. In the Coco Perfume case there is a gold trim around the outside of the box and the inside flaps are gold.

5. The UPC Bar code on the box should be in the same place. Do the numbers match up?

6. Are the trademarks present and in the right places?
7. Is there an inner lining inside the box and is the construction consistent with the perfume box you are comparing with?

8. Look at the details, angles and coloring of the cap and its construction. Does it fit properly on the bottle? Does it slide on and off easily.

9. The bottle construction is very difficult to copy. Are the angles of the glass smooth and even? Quality bottles are seamless.

10. Check the clarity of the color and print work on the bottle.

11. Another good indicator is the sprayer. Examine the sprayer detail outside and inside the bottle. In this case the gold sprayer and the stem inside it were completely different.

12. Finally, see if the coloring of the juice and the smell are consistent with the department store product. The smell test is always the first test for consumers, but it can be hard to tell the difference unless you wear it for a period of time.

I concluded with my 28 years plus in the business that this Chanel Perfume product was counterfeit. I read the consumer reviews. 50% thought something was wrong, while the other half were deceived by this counterfeit product. I reported the counterfeit perfume to eBay. They did not adequately respond nor did they penalize the company selling the counterfeit products. It is buyer beware when buying from eBay.

Consumers should look for reputable websites that have good ratings and guarantee their Discount Perfume products. Price comparison using legitimate websites when purchasing any product is a good rule of thumb. If the product price is not relatively within the market price, stay away from it.

Perfume and sex are synonymous. Perfume adverts pitch their products for their ability to attract the opposite sex. Fragrances are always advertised by the most perfectly beautiful creatures on the planet and sold with the image that we too could be that beautiful or attract someone that beautiful if only we were to purchase and wear the said perfume.

Nowadays there is not a single high profile celebrity that does not have their own perfume range. Such is the allure of celebrity that we all aspire to bed a movie star or a sports hero so they have become the faces of perfumes. A perfume that has been marketed well will choose a celebrity that encompasses sexuality and beauty and one that both the women would aspire to be and men would aspire to be with. Some of the best examples of this are as follows.

Kate Moss

Kate Moss is absolutely and undisputedly beautiful. Loved by women and men there are few people that can carry off a party loving life style yet still look great. Yet she also has the strange effect that despite her being lambasted in the press for living a rock and roll lifestyle she is still extremely popular. Indeed the association with rock star Pete Doherty and accusations of taking cocaine seem to have added to her popularity rather than taken from it.

Perhaps it is this idea that she is a free spirit that makes her such a popular icon for women and let’s face it she’s is, for men, the ideal woman. You can have a great night down the pub with her and she still looks great in the morning. She has lent her name, and incredible body, to a number of perfumes and is set to release more in the future.

Eva Mendes

It has recently been announced that Eva Mendes is set to put her face to a new fragrance developed by Calvin Klein. This Hollywood beauty was born in Florida but has a distinctly Latino look. She is one of those women that both men fancy and women appreciate her beauty.

There are very few women that wouldn’t like to look like her and despite being incredibly beautiful she does not suffer from the kind of bitter jealousy that some women target at other beautiful women. The Calvin Klein spokesperson said that, “She embodies the sexy, provocative essence of the Calvin Klein brand and we are thrilled that she will be the newest iconic beauty to represent Calvin Klein Fragrances.”

Catherine Zeta Jones

The welsh beauty is a favourite with both men and women. She released a perfume in 2007 called Provocative Woman. She is another example of an incredibly beautiful and talented woman that women want to be and men want to be with. She has put her face to numerous cosmetic products that include hair care lotions, sun care products and deodorants. She has two children and is a great inspirational model for mums and as a result represents a great choice for the marketing men.

Just like everything else these days, fashion has also become complicated and it requires a lot of skill to keep pace with it. It may not be unusual for you to be socially stamped as a fashion guru or on the other hand a fashion freak if you are not careful.

The complexities of fashion are not just limited to the kind of dress that you adorn this summer or the kind of purse you carry or even the kind of footwear that you choose for yourself. The whole game has become too complex.

You need to be able to look at the emerging trends and decipher for yourself, what it is that you can choose. Choosing the wrong things will definitely not lead you anywhere. So even if a certain kind of dress is the craze this season, make sure that it suits your body shape before spending your precious dollars on it.

The one aspect of fashion that has gained prominence over the years is lipstick hues. Some seasons reds are in fashion while at other times it is the browns or the mauves. Sometimes the lustrous, wet look is in and at other times it is a matte, dry look that is in vogue.

It is essential that you match the color that you are proposing to buy with your skin tone. Many colors look extremely good when you go to buy them but the moment you try them on, they feel not so good after all.

The fundamentals of lipstick color are similar to those for choosing dress color. There are some good colors that may not go well with a certain shade of skin. We all know that this can make a lot of difference and recognize the fact. What some people do not realize is that lipstick color is also similar and utmost care needs to be taken to choose one that suits you best.

If the shades in fashion do not suit you at all, it is better to go ahead and choose the color that suits you over an in vogue color. If you look bad, no one will bother about the fact that you may be wearing the latest hue and style of lipstick anyways.

To ensure that you choose the right color for yourself, make use of the many samples that are on display these days to allow you to see for yourself. These test samples are a great way of knowing what you are getting into.
