Best & worst perfumes to buy

Anyone who's anyone has a fragrance. It's a huge market. Brands naturally move into this space. They sell exceptional amounts based on their popularity. Fashion brands. Celebrity Branding. Naturally, we're attracted to them. Like it or not, they have a strong influencing factor over what we buy. They know it and take advantage. By adding extra products for us to buy. I don't blame them... I would too. However...

...I couldn't put my name or brand to any old tat. We trust and assume they live by our standards. They're providing quality merchandise. But should we trust so easily? Are they really getting the best guidance to make the best product? Or are they simply trusting industry to live by our standards too?

While some are making market-driven moves. Simply producing another piece of merch for the business. Others have higher standards. They're really into health and wellbeing and do not want to provide something that might harm.

Today, using quality ingredients is a greater concern. What we chose to add to our environment plays on our mind. And fragrances are one of those items on our radar. Simply because we are dabbing and spraying alluring sents over our bodies almost every day. Now, it would be good to know if the ingredients within those sexy bottles do not pose a threat.

In fact, three of the safest fragrances on the market today are below. They simply contain water and alcohol denatured along with the natural scent ingredients.

On the other hand, top brands like Burberry, Givenchy, Calvin Klein, and celeb fragrances such as Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce contain ingredients that are potentially hazardous. They contain "Fragrance", an undisclosed mixture of various scent chemicals and ingredients, plus benzyl salicylate, geraniol, citral, hydroxycitronellal, and lyral which are all known human immune system toxicants and allergens. So much so that there use is restricted.

It goes to show these ingredients are not needed with these top fragrances in the shops:

Gucci Première' Eau de Parfum

It's said to be irresistible. Intoxicating just like Aphrodite drawing people to her like bees to blooms. Kim Kardashian launched this alluring blend of raw wild honey and voluptuous florals as 'Pure Honey' to harnesses the legendary aphrodisiac power. It's though to be Kim's most sensual fragrance yet.

This nectar-rich floral combines shimmering top notes of soft freesia and red rose, a pure honey heart combined with rich florals and set on a rich finish of coconut, vanilla and musk. A tantalising small taste of heaven.
