Do not pin the flower to the lapel. A pinned flower is on par with clip-on neckties and cardboard pocket squares. They are out there, but no gentleman with decent fashion sense wears them. The buttonhole is there for this purpose, so use it.
What Is Perfume Made From? What is perfume made from? Perfume, from the Latin âperfumareâ literally means through the smoke: âper-â (through), âfumareâ (to smoke). Perfumes have always had beautiful aromas, which have been made by burning oils and flowers or herbs together to create a wonderful smell. But a lot has changed since the first perfume was made. So, what are perfumes made of?
Fragrances are essentially a mix of alcohol (ethanol), water and scented oils â or in some cases, just ethanol and those precious oils. The rule of thumb is that the higher the concentration of those oils, the longer a scent lasts on the skin. And the more expensive itâs likely to be, too. But hereâs the thing: doing the maths, I reckon that the really pricy perfume (or parfum) options actually represent the best value, simply because of how long they hang around on the body.
