Using Magazine Samples to Find Perfume

Series Summary

Contrary to the popular belief, perfume was not invented in France. The art of making perfumes began in the ancient times of Mesopotamia and Egypt. As other civilizations mastered the art, perfume evolved into a variety of different scents, and herbs, aromatic plants, and oils started to appear in perfume. Many Middle Eastern cultures helped the creation of perfume. In fact, perfume did not make it to Europe until the fourteenth century, and it was Hungary that actually introduced the first modern perfume. However, not to leave France completely out of the picture, the French remain the center of European perfume design.

"Tip number one, for determining your signature scent. Number one, start by going to your local bookstore or newsstand and picking up a whole bunch of magazines. Fashion magazines are the best place to find perfume samples. For men, choose Details and Esquire. Magazines like that will have men oriented perfumes. For women, any kind of magazine. Vogue, El, Etc. will all have plenty of women oriented perfume samples. Once you've got the magazine and make sure you buy them. Because, newsstands don't take kindly to people tearing out their samples on the street. Pick through the magazine and flip through to try and find as many perfume samples as you can. Once you've found as many as you can, tear them all out. And, open them each up individually. Begin, by just smelling the page. And, then if you like you can run the perfume sample onto your wrist behind your ear or anywhere else where your body tends to get warm. This will help you determine, if you like the perfume on your body."
