Passion Perfume

Perfume has many uses. It is added to everything from shampoo to floor polish and wafted around stores to put us in the mood to spend money. But one of the key purposes of the perfumes that we buy at exorbitant prices in tiny bottles is, let's face it, seduction.

The dash of perfume we put on when we go out is intended to be be seductive. Instinctively, we chose a different perfume for day wear at work and night wear when we are socializing.

Manufacturers add all kinds of things to their perfumes to achieve this effect. Mostly they use an extract from the glands of civet cats or musk deer to mimic human sex pheromones. Some even use real human sex pheromones.

If you find this repulsive, or if you just want a cheaper alternative, you could make your own perfume out of ingredients of entirely vegetable origin. Plants have sex too, don't forget, and they need to attract bees to do the work of pollination. It may be less fun for them but is useful for us when we want to make a seductive, and entirely vegetarian, perfume.

Some plants are renowned for the seductive potential. Ylang ylang, jasmine, neroli, mimosa are among the most commonly used in the perfume trade. They are mostly exotic flowers. Perhaps flowers have to work harder in the tropics. But there are some good temperate options when it comes to seduction. Roses and even lavender in its own quiet way have passion inducing possibilities.

These are all floral scents. Floral scents always play a big part in a perfume that is meant to be seductive and demine. But a good perfume needs other scents to work well. More subdued scents will make a perfume last longer and will highlight the lighter floral tones. So you need to think about woody scents like sandalwood and juniper.

You might also like to add some spicy scents to your perfume to give it a touch a mystery. Spices have complex scents that are powerful and yet subtle. Some of them tend to make us think of happy festive times. They remind us of Christmas, big meals and roaring log fires. They make us feel secure. Others have a slightly more dangerous edge when combined with the floral scents.

Fruits can give a number of effects. Some, like citrus zest, are fresh and envigorating. Others like berries or mango are richer and sweeter. They can give an interesting effect that makes a good contrast with the florals.

The exact blend of scents you select will depend on your own tastes. But the same ingredients will vary in their effect on different people. This is because of the differences in their own natural body scents and the oiliness of dryness of their skin. A perfume that is very seductive on one person may not be so good on another person.

By blending light, floral top notes, more earthy, woody scents and middle range scents such as lavender you can get a blend of scents in your perfume that works well by not being too obvious.

Blending is important. If you go too much for the luscious, floral scents you can end up with a perfume that is rather sickly. It can be quite nauseating too get too strong a floral scent.

If you go overboard on the floral scents you will defeat you won't make the perfume more seductive. You may get your man but end up with a headache.

It is hard enough trying to remember all those anniversaries and birthday parties which all require you to find a gorgeous gift, not to mention the one off events such as weddings, graduations, births or christenings where you do not always get much time to plan what you are going to give as a present. You probably exhausted your supply of good gift ideas long ago. It becomes increasingly hard to find something original as a gift for someone you have known a long time, so this applies particularly to a spouse, old friend or family member.

These are the people in your life who you are closest to, and this makes it all the more important that you get their present absolutely right. The problem of buying gifts is really not that difficult though. All you need to do is start thinking along different lines than the type of gift that requires wrapping in wild wrapping paper. You do not need to wrap an experience day gift up in anything at all, and if you are lucky, you may get the chance to share the experience with the lucky recipient.

So, whatever the event that is cause for celebration, the choice of experience days available is so extensive that there is something to suit all tastes, interests and pockets. If you know the recipient well, you will already know what their passions are in life. Perhaps they are crazy about fast driving, or have always wanted to fly a plane. Maybe they deserve a little pampering after a hectic schedule, or would really appreciate a couple of days in a luxury rural hotel. Whatever their hobby, whatever their requirements, you will have no problem finding the experience day gifts that will turn all their friends green with envy.

When people think of experience days they often imagine extremely costly events, but in reality this is not the case. Whatever price range you have in mind, there is such a variety of choice that your only problem is to make a final decision. You will be able to find experience days for all those celebrations that are approaching with experience days for everybody.

For the budding starlet, or friend who likes to keep his or her image just perfect, a Photographic Makeover Experience Gift will not break the bank. Not only does the recipient get their hair styled and a professional make up application, but a Buck's Fizz reception and photo shoot are also included. For those people we know who really deserve some 'me' time, they will love to have some pampering experience days, even if it is not their birthday. A mini facial and massage is a great way to unwind, and perhaps something that busy people do not have time to arrange for themselves, and is an extremely inexpensive gift.

If the recipient enjoys a glass of wine, they are bound to be interested in its source, and a Vineyard Tour for Two is one of the many experience days that can be shared. This gift does not cost an arm and a leg, and includes a wine tasting session. A day at the races is always great fun and a perfect opportunity for someone to let their hair down and enjoy themselves.

Being able to share experience days makes them really special and the Newmarket Races Family Day allows 2 adults and 2 children to spend time together. The family gets to enjoy a behind the scenes look at what goes on and there are lots of little extras and goodies included. This really is one of the best value-for-money experience days.

If you want to give someone a truly adrenalin pumping experience, an Indoor Skydiving Day Experience Pack will certainly do the job. The recipient will get full instructions before experiencing what it is like to fly, without having to leap out of a plane.

If you are looking for a special gift for two, perhaps for an important wedding anniversary, an Orient Express Luxury Dining for Two experience day will remain in their memories for a long time to come. Let them enjoy great food and wine aboard the elegant train, with a five course meal and wonderful views of the English countryside.

If the person to whom you are giving an experience day gift to has great taste in cars and is a bit of a poser, then they will love the Gourmet Classic Car Day for Two, driving a sports car around the countryside and stopping off for a great meal on the way.

Spend as much or as little as you want on experience days.
