    The Spiritual and Emotional sides of senses:
    For a long time, Science pay attention to the spiritual and emotional sides of our senses 
    In Greek Philosophy, the sense of smell deprived of its right, being vague and emotional.

    But recently, this smell become more comprehensive, and as a result, it is clear that we can't smell anything except the odor that reach directly to our nose. Accompany with the air we breathe.

    In other words, when we smell a fragrance, in fact we don’t smell the material in side it, but practically we smell the material emerging from it, that we can't obsess it

    What is the suitable Perfume for you:

    Perfume is similar to a partner or another important object, since  you  are forced  to live with it for a while only to discover if it is suitable for you.  You have to try a perfume and take a time to try its magic on you

    There are several reasons for this,  firstly, the odor of the perfume differs according to the surrounding structure,  that its odor maybe quiet different within a place of intense fragrance odor of  the neutral surrounding like home.


     

    Differences of the degrees of the temperature and moisture play an important role, However, the main reason behind these differences in the sense of smell it’s the various perfumes compound, which the perfume contain, which  evaporate in different rates. That is why the perfumer talk about the first, second, third qualities for perfumes, they mean the way that perfume change its odor which is differs in each perfume 

    Nevertheless, you have not to exceed in searching for the suitable perfume, if you try more kinds your  nose will stop  to smell anything, and you will be unable to differentiate between what you like and don't like. For this reason you  should not try more than five to six different perfumes at the same time and you have to try it on different parts of your body, and must be spaced of each other, in addition the odor of the  perfume differs according to the odor of the body, we must take into consideration that there is no guarantee that you will like the same fragrance of someone else, if you put it on your skin .
