Stick to your task 'till it sticks to you

Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place and praise
Will always come to the one who stays.
Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;
Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it, too;
For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile
Will come life’s victories after a while.

The Forgotten Accessory


Along with nice handbags, shoes and  jewelery, perfume should be considered an important item in a woman's wardrobe.  It should be the crowning touch, the grand finale to her dressing up routine.  According to the famous fashion designer Christian Dior, "Long after one has forgotten what a woman wore, the memory of her perfume lingers''.  Women who wear fragrances understand this reality. Why then are some women reluctant to wear perfume?

The 2 most common answers are (i) they are allergic (meaning it makes them sneeze and causes their skin to burn), and (ii) the smell is too overpowering.  These are valid reasons for not wanting to wear perfume and no woman should subject herself to discomfort just to make a fashion statement.  However, for those women who desire to wear perfume but don't because of the reasons mentioned above, there is a solution.

The issue of being allergic, can be resolved by wearing an oil based perfume rather than one with an alcohol base, as it is usually the alcohol in the formula that causes sneezing and burning. Oil based perfumes most often come in the form of a roll-on and has the words "perfume oil" or "fragrance oil" written on the packaging.  Parfum, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette and Cologne, are all formulated with alcohol to a lesser or greater degree - Parfum having the least amount and Cologne the most.  Many women however, do not like to feel the oiliness on their skin.  The alternative then is to use an alcohol based perfume in roll-on form.  Spraying perfume from an atomizer forcefully disburses the alcohol into the air which may cause sneezing.  The burning effect can be reduced by applying a moisturizer to the pulse points before using the roll-on perfume.  With that being said however, there are still some women who are allergic to the the actual aroma materials that make up perfumes, and these women should not wear them.

The second issue is the smell of perfume being too overpowering.  This complaint is the one most often heard.  The popular department store brand perfumes are designed by big fragrance houses who use powerful fixatives in the formulas that causes a fragrance to last sometimes up to 24 hours on the skin. On the surface, this might sound like a good thing, but in reality, that is exactly the reason why these fragrances are so overwhelmingly strong.  On the other hand, boutique quality fragrances that are designed by independent artisan perfumers, deliver their aroma in a much gentler fashion.  These fragrances stay close to the body of the wearer so that only she and those within her personal space can enjoy it's essence.

With these issues out of the way, a woman can now complete the circle of her dressing routine, by adorning herself with the one and  only accessory that will  linger in the memory of those with whom she encounter, long after she is gone - her perfume.
