This timeless classic scent is now available in a handy touch-pen, which makes quick applications even easier. The size is small, which is necessary for its on-to-go usage, but it should last for a longer time, if used sparingly.

Many people find a perfume they love and use it for years. While there is certainly nothing wrong with this approach, one can run the risk of becoming so accustomed to the perfume that it is easy to become immune to the scent and over use it. All of us know the woman who practically knocks you over with her perfume and none of us want to be that woman! To create a unique touch acquiring a fragrance wardrobe is highly recommended. Just as jewelry or shoes can add a distinctive touch to your outfits, perfume has the power to do the same. You wouldn't wear the same thing to a formal dinner as you would to a sporting event so it certainly makes sense that the perfume you choose should vary according to place and time.

To understand how to choose the perfect perfume for the right occasion you need to understand the perfume categories. Perfume categories are growing by the day and they can and do sometimes overlap. Due to the rapidly growing popularity of niche perfumes and the advances in scientific research new and unique scent categories are created every day.

The Fragrance Foundation is the authority on all things perfume and their fragrance categories are as follows: (from the Fragrance Foundation website www.fragrance.org). These descriptions are listed on the first page of their excellent site filled with fantastic fragrance information.

Citrus
The light, fresh character of citrus notes (bergamot, orange, lemon, petitgrain, mandarin, etc.) is often combined with more feminine scents (flowers, fruits and chypre).

Green
Green notes are natural in character; often married with fruity and floral notes, they are modern and fashionable.

Flowery
An accord of different floral notes. Combines with any other family, flowery perfumes are universally commercial.

Flowery Aldehydic
Aldehydes add sparkle to flowery notes. Aldehydic creations radiate elegance and originality.

Single Floral
A composition based on the scent of one particular flower; the main examples are rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley or ylang.

Oriental
A blend of warmth and mystery. Musks and precious woods are complemented by exotic essences.

Semi-Oriental
Semi-orientals combine oriental notes with various florals. Top notes are often fresh.

Chypre
Based on a woody, mossy and flowery complex, sometimes with aspects of leather or fruits, chypre perfumes are rich and tenacious.

(From www.fragrance.org)

There are other categories, however, understanding these will help you to determine how to match your perfume to the occasion. Perfume websites also frequently describe scents by categories. The Luckyscent and Sephora websites both feature very helpful sections that will help you to choose a perfume by its fragrance family.

There are perfume classics and disasters in each of the categories. The informative book Perfume The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez is a wonderful resource that rates perfumes and can be an invaluable resource to help you avoid the disasters and discover the greats in each category.

Citrus and green scents are often good choices for the work place. Citrus fragrances are fresh and light and green fragrances can be warm and natural and convey sophistication.

Flowery, single note florals and flowery aldehydics are good choices for that all important first date or elegant sophisticated gatherings. Consider a perfume from this category if you want to stay within a more conventional fragrance family.

Chypre scents, popular in the thirties, are making a comeback in a big way. These fragrances are statement making and generally you will either love them or absolutely hate them. They convey an evocative and rich presence and the best are well balanced and beautiful. This category is a great choice when you want to distinguish yourself with a unique perfume.

Orientals. These are excellent choices for that special evening or when you want to add mystery and sex appeal to that little black dress. They are generally heavy and have a very strong presence so wearing them in the office may not be the best idea.

There are thousands of perfumes available and just a spray will help to create a mood make a memory or mark a special occasion. Don't limit yourself to just one...enjoy the possibilities!

Julian Rouas Paris

Overview

Pac Sun's Lilu perfume quickly gained a cult following amongst both teen girls and their mothers, who were clamoring to snatch up as much of this coveted fragrance as possible. So why on earth was it discontinued?

An Instant Classic

When Lilu perfume was initially released at national retailer Pac Sun, it instantly gained a large following. Pac Sun describes the fragrance as evoking the floral and "breezy" scents of the South Pacific and the Hawaii Islands.

Suddenly Discontinued

Lilu was discontinued on July 24, 2008, with no explanation from Pac Sun. While bottles of the fragrance are occasionally seen in various Pac Sun locations throughout the United States, the company is no longer producing Lilu perfume.

Check Local Stores

Check your local PacSun location for the Lilu perfume - Although it has been discontinued for over a year, some fans of the scent have reported success by scoping out their local PacSun retailer for a few unsold bottles of this treasured perfume.

Last Place to Buy Lilu

There is one more place where you can still purchase Lilu - That is, for a price. Online auction house eBay has listings for the discontinued fragrance, but a bottle may cost you: One listing for a .5 ounce bottle of Lilu was priced at $49.95.

Try an Alternate Scent

If you are dying for a Lilu fix but unwilling to pay exorbitant prices on eBay, there are some alternatives to Lilu that you could try. Lacoste's "Love of Pink" has a great floral scent, as does "Happy" by Clinique.

Make Your Voice Heard

If you are unwilling to simply switch over to a Lilu impersonator, then make your voice heard to Pac Sun. Visit the "contact us" section of the Pac Sun website (www.pacsun.com) and let them know that you would love to see Lilu back in stores.

Julian Rouas Paris Backpage

Ladies, raise your hand if you like to smell nice. Tap the Shift key if you like to smell nice without the whole room smelling you before they see you. Now press the space bar if you like to smell nice without being loud, and don't want to go broke in the process. I, for one, love all of the above. I'm flattered when I reach out to hug someone or walk by a person, and they stop me to ask "What is that you have on?" with a look of approval. There are so many items at regular drug stores that a woman can buy to smell delicious without spending a wad of cash while clearing people's sinuses.

Perfumes: Women spend hundred of dollars on perfume that is out of style within months. Why don't we ever buy knock-off perfumes? Companies like Parfums de Coeur specialize in making your favorite perfume for a price you can afford. From high school to mid-college, I wore Fly With Me perfume faithfully and got plenty of attention from brothas. Fly With Me is a knock-off version of Escape® perfume and smells the same. Quite a few guys stopped me on the street and asked me what I was wearing. Besides loving the attention, I enjoyed the fragrance as well. This company sells everything from body fantasies, skin musks, designer imposters, and juice bar items.
And even if you're not interested in knock-off perfumes or can't find your brand for a cheaper price, try out specialty stores, specifically women's stores like Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret. A couple years ago, I went on my usual bra shopping expedition to Victoria's Secret and passed by the fragrance section. Feeling experimental, I sprayed a touch of Heavenly perfume on my wrist and fell in love. The perfume ranges from $39 to $52, but the body spray was only $15. Just like that, my five-year favorite, Fly With Me, was dumped and in walked Heavenly. Even if you're not really into body spray, Victoria's Secret has body washes that are between $15 and $20. Same smell. Cheaper. It may not last as long, but same effect.

Body Wash: Everybody likes feeling refreshed after they've taken a shower, so why not feel clean and smell even better? There are plenty of body wash choices that can be bought at regular drug stores like Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart, Target, and Osco Drug. My favorites include Adidas body washes like Aloe Vera body wash for women and Citrus Oil body wash for women. Aloe vera is already a great moisturizer for skin, and it has a subtle, soothing scent to it. Two other scents that smell really delicious but aren't too strong are Dial's Soy & Almond Milk and Dial's Lavender & Twilight Jasmine. You can buy body washes like this for under $5, and if you shop at discount stores regularly, as cheap as $3. Check the weekly coupon books for deals on coupons and rebates.

Lotion: I'm partial to anything with aloe vera in it, specifically because I have very dry skin. Vaseline aloe vera lotion is always on my bathroom sink. As much as I like smell-good perfumes and body washes, I'm not big on scented lotion (minus Victoria's Secret Heavenly's glimmer lotion). But if you are, even specialty stores like Fashion Bug sell scented lotion, along with the regular scent stores like Bath and Body Works, where you can find 8 oz. lotion for $5. Bath and Body Works is always having some kind of clearance or sale. Be careful of lotions that are too fruity though. I once wore Juice Bar's Cotton Candy lotion and ended up with 43 mosquito bites in a month. That was the worst summer ever. I couldn't go outside because I kept getting bitten, and it took me awhile to figure out why so many mosquitoes were killing my arms and legs. Aloe vera is a great ingredient in lotion because it smells wonderful, moisturizes, and kills bugs all at the same time. You ever wonder why so many mosquito repellents come with aloe vera added?

Whatever you choose to wear, just make sure that the smell compliments you and your checking account. No sense in smelling great if you can't afford to go anywhere and let others enjoy.

Julian Rouas Paris

Perfume is enjoyed by millions to create a lovely smell that pleases the senses of others. Most commercial brands of fragrance are kept secret. The special blend of ingredients uncovers a wide variety of emotions. The combination of oils, compounds, fixatives, and solvents merge within a decorative bottle. Inside that bottle, making the harmonious chord of scent, are three specific notes.

The main note is refereed to as the top note. This is the scent produced from the first application onto the skin. Forming an initial impression is the main selling point in the perfume industry. The top note is usually described as "fresh", "assertive", "sharp", or having a citrus appeal. Lasting only five to ten minutes, this note evaporates quickly, the overall impression of this aromatic quality is crucial. Examples of commonly used oils are: basil, orange, bergamot, lemon, pine, peppermint, and eucalyptus.

Notes of the middle, or heart notes, are the ones smelled after the top has dissipated. Being the center of attention this scent is full bodied and pleasant. Warming the skin, the true scent is about to emerge. Being strong, lasting and potent the middle note is a nice transition after the shock of the first. Appearing from two minutes to an hour this note is the one most often smelled as you navigate through the day. Typical oils used are lavender, rose, chamomile, fennel, nutmeg, juniper, and tea tree.

The final note in the structure of perfume is known as the base note. The combination of the middle and base notes develops the main theme of the fragrance. Adding depth and solidity, to the composition, the base note is used to give rise to boldness and strength. Rich and deep this note is usually not perceived until thirty minutes after the application. Aimalic notes are known to last as much as twenty-four hours. Base notes include: wood oils (cedar wood, gaiac, linaloe wood, sandalwood, etc.), resin oils (frankincense, myrrh, etc), laburnum, oak moss absolute, patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver.

There are plant, animal, natural, and synthetic sources available, besides oils, to use as your three notes. Plants are the most popular used compounds in the manufacturing of perfume. Honey and musk are derived from animals that have been used in creating widely used scents. Natural sources might include oak moss, tree moss, or seaweed. Modern fragrances are established by means of synthetic sources. Linalool and coumarin are both naturally occurring compounds that can be cheaply synthesized from terpense.

Perfume contains a variety of ingredients which are often organized into four groups. The primary scents are used as a base like rose or cola. Then, a modifier is added like honey or cherry to give the base some character. Next, a blender is added to the mix, which can be a multitude of ingredients, like linalool and hydroxycitronellol. Finally, a fixative is mixed in to support the primary scent. Common fixatives are wood and amber which blend well with many other scents. The top, middle, and base notes of a fragrance may have separate primary scents and supporting ingredients. Leaving room for ultimate creativity the expression of your own scent is priceless.

A sample recipe:

Ingredients:

2 cup of water
1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms

Directions:

In a bowl place a cheesecloth where the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until they are completely covered. Let the mixture sit overnight. The next day using the edges of cheesecloth pull it out of the bowl and gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer the water until about 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into a small bottle. Making perfume this way has a shelf life of about one month. Other suggestions for flowers: Lavender, Lilac, Orange Blossoms or even Honeysuckle. Anything that is highly fragrant works best.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: Introduction

The Britney Spears Curious perfume hit store shelves in 2004 and was marketed by a very sensual commercial in which Britney Spears had starred in. The commercial depicted Ms. Britney Spears fantasizing about a man in the next room. The commercial hyped up the perfume so much that women all over rushed to store shelves to buy the Britney Spears Curious fragrance. With all the hype surrounding the commercial, is the Britney Spears Curious perfume appropriate for all women of age?

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: The Product & Packaging

The Britney Spears Curious fragrance comes in a package that is a black box decorated with metallic blue and pink flowers all over. The fragrance bottle itself is of turquoise color and made of glass. The bottle is very elegant and that it can be compared to antique perfume containers. The perfume bottle is odd shaped, almost like of a spaceship. Pink removable heart charms are added around the spray top of the Britney Spears Curious fragrance. All fragrance bottles are equipped with a silver push down spray top; however, larger sizes of the perfume can purchase an attachment that you squeeze a bulb to make the fragrance dispense such as how antique perfumes used to be. Gift sets for the Britney Spears Curious perfume are available as well as numerous sizes of the perfume. Fragrance sizes vary and mostly consist of 3.4 ounces and 1.7 ounces. The Curious scent line also has a Britney Spears Curious Perfume Body Soufflé and shower gel that are perfect for layering the fragrance.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: The Fragrance

According to the advertisements of the Britney Spears Curious perfume, the fragrance can be described as sensual and romantic. The perfume is created by using Louisiana magnolia flowers, vanilla, musk, golden Anjou pear, and dewy lotus flowers. The perfume is on the lightweight in terms of powerfulness. Thus, the scent wears off rather quickly and must be reapplied within several hours. The Britney Spears Curious perfume is appropriate for all women of age. The scent is neither too trendy or overbearing.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: Conclusion

The Britney Spears Curious perfume is widely distributed in most retail outlets such as: Wal-Mart, Macys, Dillards, and numerous other vendors. The fragrance can also be found online at discount prices. A 3.4 ounce bottle of the Curious perfume will cost between $40 to $50. The fragrance is one of those perfumes that a consumer will either love or hate. I would recommend buying a smaller version of the Britney Spears Curious perfume and trying the scent out for a week until investing in a larger bottle of the perfume.

So do you think perfume is about romance, about a nicely wrapped box from-or for-someone you love? When you think of perfume, do you think about the way it makes you feel, about the sensual pleasures of its scent, its color, the way its package is designed?

Well, think some more, because perfume is also a business, and its clientele are one among the world's best-researched markets. There are about eight thousand scents in commercial distribution around the globe, whose composition is carefully protected by those who paid a lot of money to develop them. Not only are their formulations carefully protected, but they're well-researched as well to make sure that they appeal to the right markets. Because the perfumes that sell in Asia, don't sell in the Middle East; Americans like different perfumes than the French.

Strong scents don't seem to sell in Asia, and for that reason a number of manufacturers only distribute eau de toilette. In the Latin countries and the Middle East, people prefer scents that linger. The French are more likely to buy complex, plush, rococo scents; consumers in the US and Canada prefer sporty, innovative perfumes. While Alain Lorenzo, president of Parfums Givenchy, explained to the New York Times, "The rule of thumb is richer scents are preferred by Latin and black cultures and fresher ones by European cultures," the lines aren't at all clear when it seems that vanilla scents sell well in all markets; Hispanic-American women prefer fruity-floral scents.

Since each market is different, let's look at one in particular: Dubai. In 1999, this port of entry into the United Arab Emirates, imported $146 million dollars worth of perfumes and toilet waters. Just under half (48%) came from France, with significant market share distributed between the USA (12.6%), Italy (6.8%), Switzerland (3%) and Germany (2.8%). France's domination of this market is telling; because among the 250 regional markets where French perfumes appear, the UAE ranks twelfth.

Dubai shoppers prefer designer brands, and leading French perfumers-like Givenchy-will plan to release new scents in Paris and the Gulf, simultaneously; Christian Dior has more than 70 retail outlets across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (that include Dubai). France's significance for Dubai, and Dubai's significance to France, is unlikely to shift in the near future, even though German exports of perfumes, beauty products, and personal care products have doubled in the past decade. German-manufactured cosmetic, toiletry, and perfumes have achieved a reputation for innovation, quality, and product safety.

I have discovered a new favorite perfume in the last couple of years. It's called "Rapture" and it's manufactured by Victoria's Secret. It was introduced in 1992. It's a versatile all-around scent that can be worn day or night.

Rapture by Victoria's Secret is a complex blend of many scents. These include orange blossom and citrus, musk, amber, vanilla, freesia, jasmine, and rose. Rapture would be classified as an oriental fragrance. Rapture smells very feminine and luxurious. Victoria's Secret Rapture is a sophisticated perfume that is not heavy at all. It smells very clean and light. I prefer simple fragrances, so this was a change of pace for me.

Rapture's top notes are mainly citrus and orange blossom. The middle notes consist of freesia, jasmine and rose. These heart notes tend to last for quite awhile. The base note mainly consists of amber, with a hint of vanilla and musk. The base notes are very deep and sensual.

Victoria's Secret Rapture is available in many products and sizes. The cologne spray is in .75 ounce and 1.7 ounce bottles. A purse spray is available. Rapture is also available as a body wash that is called shower cream. It is thicker than most body washes. It leaves your skin feeling very silky and smelling great. An 8 ounce bottle of Rapture Pure Silk body lotion can also be bought. Victoria's Secret also offers Rapture Gift Box sets of different products.

Rapture by Victoria's Secret is a bit expensive. The 1.7 ounce bottle of cologne spray is $35. The .75 ounce purse spray is $19.50. Rapture Rich Velvet body cream costs $21. Rapture Pure Silk body lotion is priced at $20. The gift box sets are found during holidays and usually cost about $85.

The packaging will probably be Rapture's downfall. The perfume is packaged in an attractive heart shaped bottle with gold trim. Upon closer inspection, the gold trim is gaudy cheap plastic. The red and gold cap on the perfume bottle is also made of plastic. Five dollar bottles of perfume are presented with better quality packaging.

Speaking of packaging, I have bought two of the gift box sets in different years. The first box was very nice. It was covered in red satin material and was very heavy. The gift box set I bought the following year was dreadful. It looked like a cheap box of chocolates that a person buys at the drug store.

I have made multiple purchases of Rapture perfume. Everytime without fail, the perfume bottles stop operating correctly. I had to throw away the miniature bottle that came with the gift set. The spring broke on the bottle and I couldn't fix it or find a way to get the rest of the perfume out of the bottle. It ended up leaking on my cabinet and staining it. Also after using about one-third of the perfume, every Rapture cologne bottle starts refusing to spray. The spray simply quits working. And the plastic caps always crack. Sometimes they get stuck on the bottle. The caps must be spray painted gold, because the gold starts peeling.

Sadly, I will never buy "Rapture" by Victoria's Secret again. For a fragrance to cost as much as "Rapture" does, the packaging is cheap. It's ultra cheap, in fact. And I can't afford to pay $35 for perfume that I'm forced to throw away with most of it still in the bottle.

While many women love perfume and may even have their own signature scent, the cost of purchasing a bottle can be prohibitively expensive. Why spend $50 or more on a tiny eau de toilette when you can make a completely unique scent of your own for a fraction of the cost? Save money and make a truly original creation with just a few simple steps.

The Basics

According to the Natural Holistic Health Blog, a basic perfume formula contains 15 to 30 percent essential oils, 70 to 80 percent pure grain alcohol (vodka being recommended, as it doesn't have any additional odors or colors), and 5 percent distilled water. Adding a bit of glycerine at the end of the process is also recommended, as it will help to "fix" your perfume and keep the scent from disappearing into the air or escaping the bottle. Both glycerine and essential oils are easy to find at health food stores or even craft supply shops. Pick the kind of scents you like, when choosing essential oils, and remember that you can choose to mix and match them in order to create the perfect scent.

Necessary Supplies

Along with your basic perfume ingredients, you will also want to gather together the following items before you get started: a glass mixing jar, dedicated measuring cups and spoons, an eyedropper, a funnel and aperfume bottles or other small containers in which you can store your final product.

Method

Instructables.com offers step-by-step instructions on how to make your perfume at home. The basic procedure is as follows:

1. Measure 1/4 cup of vodka into your mixing jar.

2. Add about 25 drops of your essential oils, making sure to keep track of how many drops you've added if you are mixing scents. It may help to keep a tally on a sheet of paper, as you should add drops, swirl the mixture, and then smell as you go to make sure you don't make an overpowering scent.

3. When you've got your desired scent, seal up the mixing jar and put it into a cool, dark spot to age for at least 48 hours. The longer you age the perfume, the stronger it will become, so feel free to sniff and add more oils after the first 48 hours has passed.

4. After you've aged the perfume, add 2 tablespoons of distilled water. For spray perfumes, add a bit more water. Now is also the time to add about 5 drops of glycerine to fix the fragrance.

5. Finally, use the funnel to pour your perfume into its bottle and apply a label with the name of your new creation. You may also want to add the date so you'll know how long your perfume lasts, and when it's time to make some more!

Additional Recipes

There are lots of basic recipes on-line for perfumes, if you're not interested in tinkering with smells at first and just want to get started. Check out PioneerThinking.com for recipes with exotic names like Orient Nights, Whispering Rain, Falling Stars, Enchanted, Amaze, and Misty Passions. They've also got recipes for cologne, for the men in your life, including something called the Homemade Love Tonic!

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is all about using scents to change your mood, so you might be interested in reading up on this topic before you begin. For a crash course in aromatherapy, check out Aromaweb.com, where you can read up on a variety of different kinds of essential oil profiles and find out how a particular scent can contribute to your overall well-being. An article from HowToDoThings.com on making perfume suggests a few quick fixes, including the following: "Jasmine and lavender can calm the anxious and aid in sleeping, orange and ylang ylang can ease anger, and sandalwood and grapefruit can fight fear. Need a boost of confidence? Try cypress or rosemary. Frankincense, rose, and bergamot can help relieve depression and grief. To increase memory powers, try black pepper and peppermint."

Notes

Finally, if you really want to get technical with your home perfume making, you should learn about notes. These are the order in which certain scents appear in a given fragrance, where the top note is the initial scent, the middle note is what you'll smell after the top note has dissolved into the air, and the base note is what lingers at the end. The Instructables directions on how to make perfume give a quick primer regarding what kinds of scents generally fall into each category, and suggest that when mixing your own perfume, you should built from the base notes up.

Typical base notes include heavy smells like patchouli, vetiver, frankincense, cedarwood and sandalwood. Middle notes are slightly less heavy, and include coriander, palmarosa, marjoram, basil, rosemary, rose geranium, pettitgrain and lavender. Top notes usually include lighter scents like lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, bergamot, spearmint and peppermint.

Recreating Brand-Name Perfumes

Though brand-name perfumes are usually carefully guarded trade secrets, there is a website that can help you out if you're looking to re-create your favorite perfume at home. It's called the Basenotes Fragrance Directory, and although it only offers rough approximations, it can point you in the right direction by breaking down the list of scents that make up each of the notes found in your favorite department store perfumes. You may not be able to find all of the ingredients, however, as this is what you're spending the big bucks for! As one example: Calvin Klein's Obsession uses middle notes of tagete, which comes from marigold flowers, and armoise, which is actually an oral toxin and must be used very sparingly. Since these items are not likely to be readily available in your local health food store, you may want to weigh the pros and cons of creating your own fragrances versus shelling out the money for your favorite store-bought scents.

Julian Rouas Paris Scam

I used to like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; that was until I saw their mugs pasted on the PETA website. Turns out the twins like fur... I like animals... so now, the girls suck. But hey, so does their perfume!!!

I have had 2 bottles of perfume by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for quite some time now. One is labeled, coincidentally...One. The other is called Two. Today though, we're going to focus on One.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is actually made by Coty. A designer name that has been popping up a lot lately. I have mixed feelings when it comes to Coty fragrances. I don't love the designer fragrances, nor do I hate them.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, has sad on my desk for nearly a year now. I got both from a friend for my birthday, and ever since first smelling them, I never really used it again.

Bottle:

One comes in a cylinder shaped bottle. The glass is clear with a very slight tint of blue added in. Running down the length of the bottle is the name of the perfume. There is nothing special about the bottle, nor would anyone want to save it once the perfume was gone.

Scent:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty smells like blueberry mixed with hand soap. It is supposed to be a clean, fresh scent. However I got a soapy blueberry bubble gum scent. It's not really that natural, but it is a relatively playful scent.

I liked it. I really did. Even though the scent was not a natural one, or sophisticated one, it was still a pleasant one.

Last:

So I liked the scent... however there is no point in liking a scent that does not last for longer than 5 minutes. That was seriously all I got out of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty. The scent smelled lovely for 5 minutes, and then it vanished; up and disappeared... not a hint, not a trace...just gone.

Recommended Wear:

What wear? There is no wear to recommend wear.

Overall:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a nice scent, it truly is. Sadly though, nice scents are 100% useless if they do not last. For me Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is a waste of natural resources. It's sad that they would release such a suck-o-rama in a bottle.

Pricing and Availability:

You can still see this crummy stick of perfume in local stores such as Walmart, Kohl's and other department stores. The pricing is around $10.00 for the bottle. You can also buy them in gift sets, which would include both One, and Two.

Sadly though, I do not even find One, to be worth $1.00.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a skip in my opinion. It just does not stick around long enough for me to go ahead and recommend it.

Have you ever gotten ready in the morning, spritzed on your favorite scent, and a couple of hours later you got nothing? This can be exasperating. Why bother to apply scent if it's not going to last? In order to make sure that your uplifting scent lasts through the day or your sexy perfume lasts until the end of your romantic date, follow some or all of these suggestions.

First, be aware that there are different types of scent formulations. Each has a different concentration of fragrance oils. If you use body splash, it literally means to splash it on your body. It is the most diluted type of fragrance. Perfume is the strongest. Depending on the scent itself, it takes very little perfume. You could be having the opposite problem and overwhelming everyone. Be certain that you don't overdo it.

Second, be aware of pulse points. These are the areas of the body that have blood vessels very close to the skin. As the blood pulses, it produces heat. This in turn releases the scent of your perfume. The pulse points are located at the temples, behind the ears, the base of the throat, between the breasts, the wrists, the bend of the elbow, the backs of the knees, and the ankles.

Pay particular attention to the pulse points at the backs of the knees and the ankles. Since scent travels upward, these scent locations are very important. And most people skip these pulse points when applying perfume.

Another reason scent evaporates quickly is because of dry skin. Perfumes contain alcohol. So they can evaporate quickly. A way to prolong this is to apply lotion before perfume. A lotion that is the same scent is an excellent way to extend your perfume's lasting power. But if you don't have a matching lotion, apply an unscented lotion. If you decide to use a lotion with a different scent, make sure that it doesn't clash with your perfume. Often you can come up with unique and pleasing scent combinations. An example would be vanilla scented lotion applied before using a musk perfume.

Along the same line as using a lotion with the same scent is using soaps, body washes, powders, and even shampoos with the same fragrance as your perfume. Many more perfumes are coming out with extended product lines of their scents using additional bath products.

Your perfume can also be extended by spraying some onto your clothing. This should be tested first on a small inconspicuous area on the inside of your garment. Check to make sure that the perfume will not stain before applying it to the outside of your clothes.

An alternative to actually spraying perfume onto your clothing is to wear a scent locket or a scent ring. If you like this type of jewelry, it works great. A scent locket or ring contains a small compartment to place a small piece of cloth or cotton ball which has been sprayed liberally with your perfume. The rings are often called poison rings. An internet search turns up many websites that sell this unique jewelry. The heat from your body releases the scent as you wear the jewelry.

Then, of course, as a fail-safe guarantee, carry a small travel-size spritzer bottle of your favorite perfume to give yourself a quick spritzer during your lunch break or while in the powder room.

The Connxtions Comedy Club of Toledo, Ohio offers a chance to see big name comedians in the smaller city. These comedians appear all over the country, and come here to bring their acts to the Midwest. Connections, or Connxtions as they prefer, is the premier location in Northwest Ohio to see established and new comedians flex their comedy muscles.

Located at 5319 Heatherdowns Blvd., The Comedy Club offers a chance to book a show online off their website or by calling their front ticket counter. For information on upcoming shows or comedians that may be playing there, they have a 24 hour number that updates weekly. That phone number is 419-867-9041. The Club is open Wednesday and Thursday night at 8:00 PM, and Friday and Saturday have two shows, one at 8:00 PM and one at 10:30 PM. The midweek shows offer drink and snack specials, and often feature local, less-known comedians with discounts to admission for college students.

When you enter into Connxtions, you see the ticket counter immediately to your right. The young lady that was there helped us determine which show time we wanted on the Saturday night that we went, and we opted for the soon to start 8:00 PM show. She recommended in the future that we call ahead and make reservations, especially for the later weekend shows as to not come only to find that the club was sold out. Adoring the walls in their lobby, you will see a variety of pictures, 8 x 10 glossy photos of the numerous faces that have been featured on their stage.

Entering into the actual club area, you will find that the bar is actually a bit small for a club. There is no one manning it as we come in, and after a few minutes that changes, and a man comes up to ask what we want. We grab the menu and take it to the table we are guided to, a small table just right for two people. A few tables are scattered around the stage, and larger tables line up behind that and to the sides. The table we have is within "heckle" distance, and we get comfortable and ready for the show. The room is dimly lit, and the TV's suspended from the corners of the room offer a few highlights of comedians and various TV shows. The music is pumped into the club also to get everybody ready for a night of comedy.

Once the comedy starts, we see two opening comedians, two local guys who have different styles and techniques. The main act takes the stage after about an hour, and usually is on the stage for about 1 hour. We went twice in a month's time to see the differences, and without mentioning the specific names, the guys that took the stage were both very funny, with national experience opening for big name comedians and appearing on shows such as Premium Blend on Comedy Central and Jay Leno. Listing their specific names is not necessary, since the comedians change every week. See their website or call the aforementioned phone number for further details.

Overall, the experience made for a fun night.. I would recommend this comedy club to anyone living or visiting the Toledo area for an enjoyable night out!

During the summer of 2003 in the basement of Club Neva, a New York City nightclub which offered an open mike for comedians, an idea was born in George Sarris' head. He thought, "Why wasn't there an event locally, that featured some of the best unknown and emerging talent in the country." That idea prompted Sarris to team with partner Jim Mendrinos, and create the New York City Underground Comedy Festival. Sarris' tremendous work ethic partnered with Mendrino's industry knowledge led to the culmination of a three day Comedy Festival held at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in 2003.

Fast forward three years and two festivals later, the laugh fest enters it's 4th run  spanning all 5 New York City boroughs and even stretching over the river into New Jersey's Stress Factory.  Since it's inception the Festival which strives to feature emerging comedians has made a huge industry impact. It has sent showcased comedians yearly to The HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, CO., the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, and features a Live Audition for CBS' Late Show with David Letterman. Impressive by those credentials alone, it goes on to impress by helping comedians get notcied by the casting people for The E! Network, Warner Brothers, and Comedy Central. 

Besides being a helpful tool for established and emerging comedians alike, they offer several charity shows to raise money for such causes as Operation Uplink a VFW charity that allows troops overseas to get free phone cards to call home with. It also offers free shows at Memorial Sloan Kettring Hospital titled "Comedy Fights Cancer" which is a private show for patients and family and a fundraiser for The Pati Vitale Fund a charity set up for an ailing comedienne. The festival also looks to help the established and new comedians alike by offering "Stand Up Comedy: The Business" seminar a completely free interactive workshop intended to help comedians learn about the business side of comedy directly from industry professionals. 

Throughout the ten day festival many different types of comedy shows and all different types of comedy will be showcased. Designed by the producers, many shows are geared for different audiences allowing people to choose exactly which type of shows they can see and in what form. Fans of completely clean comedy will be happy to know that there is a Clean Show on Saturday September 16th at 6 P.M. at the Laugh Lounge in New York's lower east side. 

Some of the Most Interesting shows of this year include LA's HotBox Comedy Troupe, a sketch and standup comedy group featuring 7 gorgeous LA based women, in a 1AM Pajama Party show were all entertainers perform in their Saturday Night's best Sept. 17th at the New York Improv. Also raising some interest is a show titled "Laughing Liberally: Saving Democracy One Laugh at a Time" which premieres at 8PM September 8th at the 45th St. Theatre.

The Festival also features many established headliner comedians; besides the emerging talent. Comedians such as Jim Norton, Eddie Brill, Rick Overton, Bonnie McFarlane, Pablo Francisco, Ted Alexandro, Jim Gaffigan, Todd Barry, Bob Nelson, Jim David, Jessica Kirson, Judah Friedlander, Kevin Meaney, Laurie Kilmartin, Patrice O'Neal, Rich Vos, Rick Shapiro, The Rev. Bob Levy, Rick Overton, Tom Cotter, Wali Collins, "The Dean of The Friars Club: Freddie Roman", and many more will be bringing their A game every night throught the city.

The only thing more impressive then the New York Underground Comedy Festival's enormous growth [(It even has it's own Fire Marshal Alan Schwartz, a 22 year old Comedian from the Bronx)] in such a short amount of time is it's executive producer. George Sarris, has a work ethic that would make 20 amish men think they're lazy.  That same atribute allowed him to rise from being a paige on Wall Street to Owning a Seat on the New York Stock Exchange, before giving it all up shortly after September 11th, to go on a new career path. "All of my partners are on Greens right now on  islands, wearing bermuda shorts and playing golf. That's just not me" Says the producer Sarris. Except for the fact that he is well known for his Bermuda shorts, he takes that statement to heart. His career in comedy started as a comedian, until he realized his talents would be best suited for producing it, and shaping and defining new comedians' carrers.  


The New York Underground Comedy Festival Runs from September 8th-17th stretching across 5 boroughs, and two states  it features over 50 venues, 200 plus comics, 300 shows, 3 charities, and a great time for anyone who can use a laugh. More information can be found at the Festival's website: http://www.nycundergroundcomedy.com

It's happens to all of us. You're standing in a room or passing by a crowded street or sidewalk and all of the sudden, a truly tantalizing scent catches you completely by surprise. Almost unconsciously, your head swivels as you crane your neck to catch a glimpse of the one who nearly lifted you off your feet with such an arousing fragrance.

The general consensus seems to point out that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. Selecting the right fragrance to suit you becomes a sort of art as you attempt to find the perfect blend between flirty flowers, juicy fruits, musk and more.

Once you find the ideal scent to match your personality - sexy, playful, subtle and so forth - you can begin to take advantage of the powerful impact fragrance has on members of the opposite sex. Consider investing in a travel-sized vial of your preferred perfume as well, so you can easily transport it and always have it with you for a quick freshening up.

As you become comfortable with your new fragrance, take things to the next level by introducing it into your love life. If you won't see your sweetheart for a number of days or weeks, be sure to pen a passionate love letter, and don't forget to spritz a little of your perfume on the stationery before you pour your heart onto it. If you're feeling especially daring (or sappy) you can complete the romantic effect by sealing the envelope with a lipstick smooch.

Another great tactic is to spray a bit of perfume on yourself just before you borrow an article of his clothing. If you'll be wearing his jacket for a while in the colder weather, spray a little perfume on the back of your neck without getting any directly on his coat. This way it will subtly adhere to the coat's collar so he notices your fragrance and thinks of you immediately the next time he wears it. If you forget to bring your pajamas and have to borrow a t-shirt one night, just spray a tiny bit of your fragrance on your body to gently introduce it onto his clothing. Whether he wears the shirt again or washes it when he gets it back, he's sure to recognize your fragrance.

For the grand finale, linger in bed just a little while longer than your honey does. When he leaves the room to brush his teeth or shower, spritz some perfume on his pillow, either on top or bottom, or a little bit on both sides. This tactic is especially effective if you won't see each other for a little while, because you know you will be the last thing he thinks about before he falls to sleep, and also the first thing he imagines when he wakes up. As soon as his head hits the pillow you will be on his mind, and if not in his arms, what better place to be?

Seductive Places to Target with Your Perfume:
- Spray a little perfume on letters and birthday or holiday cards.
- Let a little of your fragrance remain on his clothing that he lets you borrow.
- Apply a little perfume to your pulse points while you are in his car so the fragrance lingers just a bit.
- Leave him a gentle, sexy reminder by spraying a little bit of perfume on his pillow, especially when you won't be around.
- If he keeps a blanket in his car or draped across his couch, be sure to introduce just a touch of your favorite fragrance so he thinks of you right away when he uses it.

Perfume is a wonderful invention, allowing you to make your presence known, even in your absence! Get creative and realize that this aromatic accessory can enhance your romantic side, intrigue your partner and bring your face to mind even when you aren't physically present. Instigate more intimate moments with a spritz here and there of a sexy, flirty fragrance. You won't regret it!

Ryan Stout: Performs on Comedy Central, MTV, and the Bob & Tom Radio Show. Stout can be seen every week as the host on the MTV show "A Shot at Love: The Hangover."

My Favorite Comedian at Skyline Comedy Cafe:
Comedian Michael Kosta. Kosta was the main act one night I attended the Skyline Comedy Café and he was absolutely wonderful. He has great pure comedy and jokes that anyone young or old can enjoy. I highly recommend attending the next show that Michael Kosta performs at. You will have a great time listening to this guy!

Price:
The Skyline Comedy Café in a fairly reasonably priced comedy club. They only charge $10 for admission to get into the show, however they do charge you for two drinks throughout the course of the show (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). But even with the two drinks, the total for the show and your two drinks typically adds up to only around $20, possibly even less depending on what you get to drink. However in my opinion, the $20 for the show and two drinks is a very good deal!

Service:
Skyline Comedy Café has offered great service every time I have been there. The seating is good and the environment is great for comedy. The serving of drinks is done quickly and all my drinks tasted great. Overall, the service at Skyline Comedy Café is very good and I highly recommend anyone to go there and watch a show.

Summary:
My experience at the Skyline Comedy Café in Appleton, Wisconsin has been terrific. The main acts have always been very entertaining, and the cost for the evening was very reasonable. This comedy club makes for a great place to go out with friends or even a place to go out at for a date. I highly recommend the Skyline Comedy Club Café, as it is by far the best comedy club in the entire city of Appleton and any surrounding cities as well!

So do you think perfume is about romance, about a nicely wrapped box from-or for-someone you love? When you think of perfume, do you think about the way it makes you feel, about the sensual pleasures of its scent, its color, the way its package is designed?

Well, think some more, because perfume is also a business, and its clientele are one among the world's best-researched markets. There are about eight thousand scents in commercial distribution around the globe, whose composition is carefully protected by those who paid a lot of money to develop them. Not only are their formulations carefully protected, but they're well-researched as well to make sure that they appeal to the right markets. Because the perfumes that sell in Asia, don't sell in the Middle East; Americans like different perfumes than the French.

Strong scents don't seem to sell in Asia, and for that reason a number of manufacturers only distribute eau de toilette. In the Latin countries and the Middle East, people prefer scents that linger. The French are more likely to buy complex, plush, rococo scents; consumers in the US and Canada prefer sporty, innovative perfumes. While Alain Lorenzo, president of Parfums Givenchy, explained to the New York Times, "The rule of thumb is richer scents are preferred by Latin and black cultures and fresher ones by European cultures," the lines aren't at all clear when it seems that vanilla scents sell well in all markets; Hispanic-American women prefer fruity-floral scents.

Since each market is different, let's look at one in particular: Dubai. In 1999, this port of entry into the United Arab Emirates, imported $146 million dollars worth of perfumes and toilet waters. Just under half (48%) came from France, with significant market share distributed between the USA (12.6%), Italy (6.8%), Switzerland (3%) and Germany (2.8%). France's domination of this market is telling; because among the 250 regional markets where French perfumes appear, the UAE ranks twelfth.

Dubai shoppers prefer designer brands, and leading French perfumers-like Givenchy-will plan to release new scents in Paris and the Gulf, simultaneously; Christian Dior has more than 70 retail outlets across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (that include Dubai). France's significance for Dubai, and Dubai's significance to France, is unlikely to shift in the near future, even though German exports of perfumes, beauty products, and personal care products have doubled in the past decade. German-manufactured cosmetic, toiletry, and perfumes have achieved a reputation for innovation, quality, and product safety.

Are you in need of some serious laughter? How about a place to forget about all your worries or the day's stressful events? Then look no further. I have the answer for you right here. It's called Wiseguys Comedy Club.

Wiseguys Comedy Club is located in Utah and has four locations across the Wasatch Front to cure your funny bones desires. This comical club has found homes in West Valley City, Orem, Ogden and in the heart of Salt Lake City at Trolley Square. Wiseguys feature the finest and funniest in live stand-up comedy. The club is open to all ages but the comedian's routines are not censored so attend at your ears own risk. The clubs highlight "different national touring comedians every weekend and have hosted numerous celebrities including Lewis Black, Dave Attel, Joe McHale, Margaret Cho, Caroline Rhea, Carlos Mencia, Harland Williams and more. Wiseguys has twice been named Utah's Best Comedy Club by Salt Lake City Weekly and has been featured several times in the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, Standard-Examiner, KUTV2 News, and Fox 13."

I have personally been to the West Valley location and Wiseguys is not your average comedy club that you may have seen on TV. The clubs ambiance is cozy, intimate and features a small stage in the front and center. Long tables are set up diagonally on either side of the main isle, leading up to the stage. The first couple rows of tables are perfect for the brave souls who wish to engage in humorous repartee with the wisecracker. For those of you who wish to stay out of the comedians view point. There is additional table's setup on the far side of the diagonal rows and also in the back.

And what would a comedy club be without a heckler? There has been at least one at every show I have attended. Unfortunately, there is not one "designated" spot for those few belonging to the peanut gallery. But if you should find yourself sitting next to one, don't worry. A good comedian will usually make them the butt of their jokes. Leaving you to laugh at their expense and out of the entertainer's routine.

Looking for something cheap to do on the weekend? No problem. Wiseguys has a 2 for 1 coupon valid only on Friday and Saturday shows. The clubs have a café-style menu of appetizers, sandwiches, desserts, bottled beer and soft drinks. But something I didn't know the first time I enjoyed these fine comedic routines is that one menu item must be purchased during the show.

So where ever you live, you are just minutes from chuckling, giggling or whatever your brand of laughter may be, at Wiseguys Comedy Club. For more information and scheduled performers visit their website at www.wiseguyscomedy.com.

There are horror films and then there are horror films, but if that's what you're looking for then you won't find it here. What you will find in BRUTAL MASSACRE: A COMEDY is one of the best self-referential horror-comedies to ever come around in quite a long time. You wouldn't think so at first look from its story about an over the hill horror film director Harry Penderecki (David Naughton) who has one last chance to turn his luck around with his "can't miss" screenplay BRUTAL MASSACRE, but you see, no matter what Pendereck does his productions are always plagued by misfortune and bad luck.

Along for the ride in Penderecki's last chance is his assistant director Jay (Brian O'Halloran), his producer Natalie (Ellen Sandweiss), his cinematographer Hanu (Gerry Bednob), and his best boy electrician Carl (Ken Foree). Writter & director Stevan Mena unveils the truth about indie filmmaking, maybe even a little too much, and the the film is all the better for it. Naughton creates a tragic yet very likable Penderecki whom you just can't help but to emphasize with.

Another great asset is the amazing supporting cast whom any classic & cult horror fan will recognize from FROM BEYOND and DAWN OF THE DEAD's (both versions) Foree to TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE's Gunnar Hansen, who is hands down the best character in the film and will keep you laughing from being to end (why he never did comedy before this film is anyone's guess since its obvious that it comes naturally to him).

Naughton is in top form as the luckless Penderecki and it's a shame that up until now his career has been over shadowed by his turn in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Director Mena has done an excellent job at balancing the comedy and "horror" elements of the film while also maintaining the film's integrity of presenting an "honest" look into indie filmmaking. Definitely one of the films to look out for.

From 1999-2000 Comedy Central had one of the funniest shows on television, the only problem was hardly anyone was watching. For three seasons Strangers With Candy graced the airwaves and tested the limits of political correctness. The show featured Amy Sedaris as Jerri Blank, a 46 year old ex-junkie, ex-prostitute, high school dropout who returned to Flatpoint High School as a high school freshman.

Sedaris, who has since made appearances on Sex and the City, Just Shoot Me, and Monk, is the sister of well-known essayist David Sedaris (Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day). Stephen Colbert, now the host of his own show on Comedy Central, The Colbert Report, starred as Mr. Noblet, a teacher at Flatpoint. The show also featured Paul Dinello as Geoffrey Jellineck, an art teacher, and Greg Hollimon as Principal Onyx Blackman.

Strangers With Candy, a satire on the omnipresent after-school specials of the 1980s, made fun of a number of topics including steroid use, illiteracy, racism, censorship, sexually transmitted diseases, and a special two part episode about cults entitled "The Blank Stare." Nothing was off limits for the show, and that's what made it so hilarious.

After the show ended its run, being replaced by the show Strip Mall (and in a nod to the execs at Comedy Central, in the series finale Flatpoint High was being shut-down to be replaced by a strip mall), the series was put out on DVD. That just wasn't enough for the fans who had given the series a cult-like following.

After a long delay, Strangers With Candy, the movie is now in theatres. Jerri Blank is back at Flatpoint High in a prequel to the television series and her hassles are just the same. The basic plot revolves around a science fair project. Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Greg Hollimon all reprise their original roles as members of the Flatpoint staff. Deborah Rush also returns as Jerri's stepmother Sara Blank. 

Joining the old cast are some recognizable names such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Allison Janney. Unfortunately the students from the television series have been recast for the film because it's been six years since the show has been off the air, and therefore wouldn't look like high school kids anymore. 

So far the film has recieved strong reviews. Ebert and Roeper both gave the film thumbs up. Roeper said "It's just so bizarre and so cheerfully warped, I couldn't resist it," on a recent episode of Ebert and Roeper. Meanwhile movie critic Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B.

If you loved Strangers With Candy as a television series, be sure to check out the film version. Just imagine all the things they can get away with now that they aren't worrying about network censors. 

Now playing in theatres.
