She is known as the PERFUGITIVE

Check out this recent news story from my home state. Can't we just smell good without getting busted?
A Florida mother is fuming mad that school officials punished her daughter for wearing perfume.Jennifer Jordan's 13-year-old daughter, Kimberly, was suspended from Eustis Middle School for three days.The Lake County woman said school officials had called her a month ago to inform her that Kimberly's perfume was too strong because her teacher was allergic to it."And that I need to get her a different kind. So, I … got a different kind of perfume," Jordan said.Kimberly wore the toned-down body mist for weeks before the school's assistant principal called Jordan to tell her Kimberly was suspended."I asked him: 'Are you kidding me? She's being suspended for wearing perfume to school? She's a 13-year-old teenager in middle school," Jordan said.Jordan complained to the school board, which cut short the suspension by one day and removed the disciplinary action from Kimberly's record. I am sure sending her home and making her shower could have been punishment enough.
Hey Eustis Middle School EUSTISTINK!
She wasn't carrying any weapon...strike that...it depends on what fragrance she was wearing. There are some fragrance out there the could be considered HAZMAT...you know who you are!!!

Perfume And Cologne: A Weapon Of Mass Seduction?

With hundreds of new fragrances released every year, perfume and cologne has traditionally been marketed as a way to catch the attention of the opposite sex… Advertising focuses on how atractive you’ll be if you wear the latest perfume by a famous designer, or better, your favorite celebrity.

Now, let’s think about this concept for a minute – yes, the sense of smell is the most powerful of all senses, and fragrances play a roll in stimulating the brain. But is it that the fragrance makes us confident? Is it that your mindset is influenced by the fact that you are wearing a “seductive fragrance”?

Sex sells, and is selling lots of perfume and cologne. We have moved from a splash of clean and fresh scent to a spray of seduction. No more talk about how wonderful you will smell. Now it’s all about how many members of the opposite sex will fall to your feet because of how you smell.

Perfume and cologne is about creating an extension of your appearance – one that is only perceived by anyone within an arms reach from you. The fragrance becomes you as it mixes with your body chemistry to create a signature scent that is uniquely yours, and one that some members of the opposite sex will find attractive. However, if you are thinking about knocking every prospect down to their knees because of the fragrance you’re wearing, maybe you need to spend your money wisely!

To Stink or not to Stink?...that is the question.

Fragrance sensitivity is on the rise. Just recently In the Wallingford school system of Connecticut, use of cologne and perfume is prevalent among the students. And why not? After all teens don't shower much and they need to put on those body deodorants to attract the opposite sex...just like the commercials say they do.

In Minneapolis, the overuse of products like Axe and Tag in school hallways has gotten to the point that the school district has seen a need for a policy addressing the scents. The primary concern is that the strong scent would trigger headaches and, for asthmatics, heighten the risk of a respiratory attack., rather than the women attacking the guys as advertised.

In the workplace that issue seems to be a topic of discussion. a person emitting a strong, foul scent, whether from perfume or poor hygiene, can often negatively affect the work environment around them. Jacqueline Whitmore, a Polk County native and author of "Business Class: Etiquette Essentials for Success at Work," said it is perfectly acceptable to address a co-worker who wears too much perfume, particularly if others may have a sensitivity to it. Whitmore says the perfume offender will likely understand, since perfume sensitivity is a common problem.


I know that at Scentiments.com we encourage the use of fragrances at work.

Wearing fragrance is an expression of one's self, so the determination of your odor and the effects around you must be considered. We say express yourself until someone complains.

Fragrance Tip of the week (3)

Make sure to apply your perfume or cologne from bottom to top, spraying at the ankles to allow the scent to rise and conquer, as your fragrance won't be lost as quickly. Also, Spray your perfume or cologne into the air and walk into it to help distribute the scent over your entire body.

A fragrance that is truly heaven "scent"

In honor Pope Benedict XVI's upcoming visit to the United States, Monastery Greetings is now offering The Pope's Cologne. The Pope's Cologne is made here from the private formula of Pope Pius IX (1792-1878). The recipe was faithfully followed by Dr. Fred Hass (who happens to be US Poet Laureate Robert Hass' brother) and, therefore, the longevity is also authentically that of a perfume from that period.
Recently, The Pope's Cologne received a scholarly and glowing review from noted perfume critic, Marie-Helene Wagner, in a recent publication of "The Scented Salamander". An excerpt from her review follows: "Judging from the cologne itself, it shows a man of refined taste who obviously valued subtlety, elegance, and even the rare. The scent has an ancient charm about it, especially when the floral notes start being felt, that is quite remarkable." Well it appears she better like it or she will have to answer to the Pope's boss. You can check out the new scent at www.MonasteryGreetings.com.

A million bucks for whale vomit?

It could be upchuck for megabucks! It's called Ambergris or floating gold. Ambergris, is the vomit of the sperm whale, it comes out almost clear and turns darker over time. It is a very rare substance and could fetch two Britains a million bucks. While walking along the beach the two found 110lbs of this waxy substance. The perfume industry covets this natural form of perfume ingredient largely because of it's rarity and because most manufacturers have switched to synthetic versions. If it does indeed turn out the be this floating gold the pair hope to be able to find a buyer in the perfume industry. A sample of the find is being tested at a University to see if it is the real thing.

All we can say is good luck with the upchuck!
