Heaven Scent Memories
One of my best memories from my wedding, aside
from The Dress, was the perfume I wore. For all
the special events in my life including trips
around the world, I like to wear a new fragrance
for the first time. The selection would either be
a recent add to my designer collection or
something I picked up from the hotel boutique.
This way the

scent is attached to my memory of the event or
place. This works incredibly well because when I
smell each fragrance, I am instantly transported
to that special time, making the perfume even
more treasured to me. (Swoon) Lets review the
different types of fragrances, ranging from
Parfum (the most intense concentration) to Eau
Fraiche (least concentration). The composition of
each type varies in percentage of oils to
alcohol and water ratio. Parfums have a higher
fragrance oil of 20-30 and therefore are more
long lasting, 12 hours! Eau Fraiche and splash
fragrances have under 3 fragrance oil and last
about 1-3 hours. Each type serves its fabulous
purpose. Sometimes we like a lighter scent that
is not too overpowering, and sometimes we need
something to last through the entire night into
the next day. When shopping for your next new
scent there a few points to keep in mind. There
are 4 different types each fragrance originates
Floral, Oriental, Woody, Fresh. Each type will
melt into the other based on the notes the
fragrance holds. Each perfume has a top note,
heart note, and base note. The top note is the
opening fragrance smelled immediately after
applying. The freshness and light floral aspects
are witnessed at this point. The heart or middle
notes become intense after 30 minutes this is
where heavier floral levels peak. It is the main
body of the fragrance and last longer than the
top notes. The base note is where skin chemistry
is involved, the bolder components of the scent
are intensified on the skin. This is the full
body of the fragrance and what is left to
remember the most.

It is so much fun to pick up a new perfume while
on a trip especially at specialty boutiques or
gift shops. Those fragrances are one of a kind
and you cannot restock a new one unless you take
that trip again! More vacations are necessary!
This trick really makes each perfume heaven
scent! Valentina Assoluto by Valentino instantly
takes me back to my wedding day. I am swiftly
reminded of that perfect moment I was in my
gorgeous dress and about to walk down the isle
with the love of my life. It will always be one
of my favorites and best way to travel to that
sweet memory. Comment below your favorite perfume
and what memories are attached.
