Perfumes and scented oils have been the secret weapon for both men and women for centuries. From being used as part of seduction or to create a pleasant atmosphere,fragrance has the power to create emotions. Made famous recently by the French, the full range of scents can give an insight into the person wearing/using it. Be it for a night out on the town, a hot date, or simply to feel better about himself/herself, the top and base notes, and all those in between, in each perfume can reveal a lot about a situation. The making of perfumes is an art form that also requires some knowledge of science. Understanding how certain scents fade and mix or do not mix well together at all is a massive part of this art form. Perfumes have a three-layer structure that slowly fades overtime on the skin. These layers are as follows: 1. Top notes What are they? They are the first notes noticed when first applied to the skin or sprayed in the air. This note is the thing that either grabs a person’s attention or turns them off right away. Scents that can fall into this category would be citrus and herbal smells.

Identifying your body type is the most vital step to be able to find clothing that is flattering. Transitional dresses are your best friend during the time between summer and fall. It can get confusing how to dress as the weather is getting cooler, so layering dresses with tights and jackets or cardigans is ideal. In this way dresses provide a perfect foundation for layering, and can be dressed up or down with the right accessories and shoes. Here are some of the best dress silhouettes for each body type: 1. Pear shape This body type consists of smaller shoulders than hips and a small bust. Women with this body type have a thinner upper body and wider hips. The best dresses for you would be, dresses with details on the bust that will help create a balancing effect. The best silhouette for you would be a skater dress or any other flare dresses. Strapless top-dresses and well fitted open necks are an amazing choice too. They are roomier at the bottom and they will compliment your small upper body. Avoid curve-hugging fabrics and oversized styles. 2. Apple (or round figures) With this body type, the weight is distributed in the midsection.
