Smell like you, only better! (home made Cologne) - 0 views

  • m highest concentration of oils to least, the differnt forms of perfume are: Perfume, also called extract or extrait perfume, can include 15-40% essential oils. This is the purest form of scented product and is the most expensive as a result. Eau de parfum contains about 7-15% essential oils. This is the most popular and common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and generally doesn't cost as much as extract perfume. Eau de toilette has around 1-6% essential oils. This makes for a light scent that doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. It was originally intended to be a refreshing body splash to help people wake up in the morning. Eau de cologne is sometimes used interchangeably with the term eau de toilette. However, the concoction began as the name of a light, fresh fragrance mixed with citrus oils and was made popular by Napoleon. Some perfumers today have a version of this called eau fraiche.

The smell of virtue is lemony fresh - thestar.com - 1 views

  • But a growing body of research indicates that smell strongly affects how we think and act, that it can make people buy more, favour certain locations, and even respond more ethically and charitably.
  • "They are small behaviours – it's not international peace – but they can have a significant effect on interpersonal relations," says Avery Gilbert, a research psychologist specializing in smell
  • Researchers found that people acted more fairly and generously when they were exposed unconsciously to that fragrance.

  • Smell lights up whole concepts in the brain, through what psychologists call "associative networks," explains New Jersey-based Gilbert. The science of smell got a big boost in 2004 when American researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck won a Nobel Prize for discovering the large family of about a thousand genes for odour receptors and clarifying how the system works. In his lab at Northwestern University, neuroscientist Jay Gottfried uses magnetic resonance imaging techniques to study the effects of odours on the brain. "Smell has very intimate access to parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory," he explains. "How a person perceives a smell is all about familiarity and cognitive context."
  • "Experiencing cleanliness through smell activated associations of virtue and moral purity and drove behaviour more that way," explains study co-author Chen-Bo Zhong, a business professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management. His study was recently published online in Psychological Science.
  • Another experiment, looking at charitable behaviour, found those in the lemony-fresh room expressed more interest in volunteering for a service project and donating money. Twenty-two per cent said they'd like to give money, compared to 6 per cent of those with unteased nostrils.
  • As for improving personal behaviour, Gilbert suggests that students could use scents that get them in the right state of mind to study.
  • What fragrance says "work hard"? "That's a very personal choice," says Gilbert. "It's like what kind of music someone listens to while studying. Some might choose classical, others Metallica. College kids tend to use a phenomenal amount of Febreze."
