Here is a film from Avon promoting perfume and cologne sales. Produced in 1962, The Joy of Living With Fragrance provides a glimpse into the style and elegance of the Mad Men/Camelot era. Amid the lovely styles and fashions shown in this film are some useful suggestions for choosing and wearing a fragrance all of your own.
What is it about her that turns everyone’s heads? It's her very special individuality, her exquisite aura; in a word, her fragrance. This mystery captured in a bottle, fragrance is something that should be a part of every woman's wardrobe. For you to wear and to share, the magic of fragrance gives you an added confidence, a heightened personality, a uniqueness that is yours alone. Evocative and provocative, a joy to you, a delight to others, fragrance is truly the projection of you as a woman.
Elegance is not possible without fragrance. - Coco Chanel
Because warmth helps your fragrance unfold, apply perfume and cologne to your pulse points including your wrists, inside your elbows, at your temples, the nape of your neck, and behind your knees.
It is suggested that you carry a purse size bottle of perfume with you to keep your scent fresh on the town, at the office, or while being entertained by friends. Your perfume should be reapplied as often as you fix your lipstick.
For fragrance, selected with care and worn with grace, is the very essence of being a woman. - The Joy of Living With Fragrance
Fragrance is not only for pulse points. For the most feminine appeal, surround yourself with your own personal scent.
When washing lingerie, first scent the water with cologne. For lovely dreams, spray your pillow with cachet. A spritz of cologne in your hair is a lovely touch. Use a spray sachet in your closet to keep your wardrobe fresh with your own personal signature.
Perfume is like love, you can never get enough of it. - Estée Lauder
Single Floral - Captures the very heart of a rose, lilac, or jasmine, the effect is feminine, romantic, appealing. You'll love Beautiful by Estee Lauder, a lovely soliflore.
Floral Bouquet - An intricate blend of many blooms, the kind of scent you enjoy when you bury your face in an arm full of flowers. Try a delightful floral bouquet parfum from bridal designer Vera Wang.
Woodsy-Mossy - A warm, aromatic scent that transports you to an enchanted forest. Tuscany Per Donna by Estee Lauder is a refreshing woody fragrance with a feminine blend of citrus, grapefruit and mandarin plus a touch of spice, vanilla, honeysuckle, and carnation.
Oriental - Tantalizing, magical, and mysterious. Montblanc Presence d'Une Femme is a sophisticated, oriental floral that is soft, understated and luxurious on the skin.
Spicy Bouquet - A scent that combines a marvelous combination of old fashion spices and contemporary gaity. Lacoste Pour Femme Perfume is a spicy scent with touches of soft flowers to create a rich, womanly fragrance that is recommended for romantic wear.
Fruity - The warm, lush mellow scent of sun-ripened fruit. Chanel Chance is an ultra-feminine fragrance with a refined blend of citrus and jasmine that is perfect for everyday wear.
Modern - Dry, brilliant, sophisticated and subtle, with an illusive, frequently floral, top note. A soothing, beautiful scent, Chanel No. 19 is a cool, subtle fragrance that is incredibly sophisticated and incredibly feminine in a powerful, rather than girly, way.
A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting. - Christian Dior
You'll want to try lots of different perfumes to find the one just for you. When sampling perfumes it is best to try them on your skin because each of us has her own body chemistry that affects the fragrance. It is best that you try no more than two perfumes at a time; anymore and your senses will be overwhelmed.
There is no need to limit yourself to one fragrance. Instead, you might match your scent to the season. Many women choose a single fruity, floral, or floral bouquet scent for the spring and summer and a spicy bouquet, Oriental, or woodsy scent for the cooler seasons. However, the woman who loves a modern scent might stick to one fragrance as her signature the year around.
"Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed," I said.- Coco Chanel
