Scent Of A Woman

                by Eunjin Jung

 Have you ever heard of the best accessory that is invisible but leaves a strong impression? It is perfume and actually, the epithet was the expression of Coco Chanel the designer. Perfume has been a widely beloved item for a long time without distinction of sex or age. We have limitations when choosing clothes or shoes because of body shape, but perfumes have no limitations. Furthermore, perfume varies from person to person; it depends on different kinds of odors each individual has. In spite of these attractive points of perfumes, many people don't use them because of the difficulties of choosing one that fits themselves due to their diversity. So I prepared some recommendations for those people who want to use perfume but don't know how to pick one, especially for women.

 1.For women with pure and girlish images

  

(1)Laugh With Me Leelee of Crescent Row series (Benefit)

 The Crescent row series of Benefit were inspired by Royal crescent of the English region of Bath and especially Laugh with me Leelee was trial of expressing cheerful laugh of a young girl. A bottle of this perfume which imitated a women's cocktail shaker is one of its biggest charms. It has delightful and vivacious fragrance but is not too sweet or light. Moreover, it is the most beloved perfume by boys in the United Kingdom.

    Middle note: Black violet, Lily, Jasmine

    Base note: Blond wood, Amber, Santal

  

  -Price: 59,000 won (30ml)

(2)Oyedo (Diptyque)

  

You can be reminded of orchards which are full of various limes and oranges when you see the picture that is located in front of the bottle of Oyedo. The name of this perfume Oyedo means 'the gate toward ocean'. It has a strong and lime scent. You may think that lime-scented perfumes are six of one and half-a-dozen of the other, yet Oyedo had a really unique lime fragrance. Before judging Oyedo, just try it once.

  -Top note: Citrus fruits, Tangerine, Green mandarin, Lemon,         Tamarind

    Middle note: Clementine, Thyme

    Base note: Cedar

  -Price: 135,000 won (50ml)

 2.For women with cute and lovely images

 (1)Marry Me (Lanvin)

 Like its name, Marry me is a very romantic perfume in various aspects. Marry me ,which is one of the most popular perfumes for Korean girls with Eclat D' Arpege of Lanvin, is in a lovely bottle with a violet ribbon invented by the designer Alber Elbaz. Harmony of white flowers is the main fragrance of Marry me and it indicates a passionate vow and sweetness of promise made by lovers. Even though it has an extremely sweet fragrance, it is not so strong that you cannot use it as daily perfume.

  -Top note: Bitter orange, White peach, Freesia bouquet

    Middle note: Sambac, Jasmine absolute, Magnolia, Rose

    Base note: White cedar, Vibrant amber, Musk veil

  -Price: 63,000 won (30ml)

 (2)Sweet Baby (Demeter)

  Image portrayed as cotton candy and marshmallow is the first impression of Sweet baby. It is describing the most genuine expressions about the amiable emotions of lovely girl. Its pink-colored bottle reminds us of a sense of coziness with sweetness. Sweet baby is a tender and adorable perfume that stimulates one's happy memories.

  -Top note: Green apple, Tangerine

    Middle note: Lilac, Jasmine, Rose, Black currant

 3.For women with mature and feminine images

  (1)Glow by J Lo (Jenifer Lopez)

 Glow by J Lo is famous for having the scent of perfumed body soaps. The maker of this perfume is a popular Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez and Glow by J Lo is her first signature scent. She wanted her first fragrance to be fresh and clean, but still sexy and sensual; something you just came out of the shower with and you are the sexiest people in the world. Glow by J Lo's most outstanding feature is breeziness, unlike other floral and musk type perfumes.

 (2)Mon Jasmin Noir L'Eau Exquise (Bvlgari)

 The story of the new collection of Bvlgari begins in the garden of Boboli located in Toscana of Italy. Brilliant sunlight shining on the green leaves, serenity and soaring vitality of a fountain entrenched confidentially in the garden of Boboli gave impressive inspirations to Bvlgari's perfumer Sophie Labbe who was planning a new jam of Mon Jasmine Noir collection. Mon Jasmine Noir L'Eau Exquise depicts an energetic spout of water and elegance from Jasmine flower.

 People once thought perfume was used only for sexual seduction. However, these days perfume is regarded as a tool for expressing oneself. As mentioned earlier, everybody can choose their own perfume without worrying about their appearance or other things. Since it differs from person to person even when they choose common types, anyone can make their own scent and images by perfume and that is the best reason why I love perfume. Express yourself with perfume! Who can say that the perfume you choose doesn’t fit with your eyes or your body figure? Just don’t spray it too much especially in crowded places so that others don't get headaches due to the smell of your perfume. If you don’t mind me making an additional remark, I also want to recommend this; before you purchase one, make sure to test the scent.
