French Scents

*sniff* *sniff* Hmmmmmmm smells like France. Ummm okay, I tried to make this sound normal but I’ll admit, this is a weird post. However, I was thinking about the five senses, and if possible, I want to try to evoke all five of them. Let’s try it and see where it goes.

I already mentioned how the French are known for their fashion so of course we need to talk about perfume/cologne. In France, the perfume/cologne you wear defines you so choose wisely. I would love to be able to try to explain what the different perfumes/colognes smell like but honestly, expensive perfume/cologne all smells the same to me. I’ll list the top five most mentioned brands and if you want, you can watch some commercials for that brand (I personally love to watch their commercials; they’re so over the top). The first two are clearly the most popular brands and everything after that I’m less certain of.

#1 Chanel

First you get the ad I would expect from Chanel:

Next, they have an inspirational video:

And they even have one for people that enjoy Kristen Stewart (yes, that Kristen Stewart) going crazy!:

#2 Dior

I read the biggest difference between Chanel and Dior is that Chanel was more formal and Dior caters more to a younger audience. You can see that in their commercials:

But they also have the more stereotypical ad too:

#3 Guerlain

#4 Chloe

#5 Yves Saint Laurent

Finally, an ad featuring a guy (I promise I’m trying to make my male readers feel included too)

If you’re interested in the psychology of perfume (I don’t know how accurate it is but it was interesting none the less):

And for you chefs and foodies out there, he’s a list of traditional French spices:

And then of course, statistically, a little more than twice the amount of people smoke cigarettes in France versus the United States. With the most popular brand being Gauloises.

    right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

  7. Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at
    options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  8. Hi just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know
    a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m
    not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

  9. Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was
    wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?

    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems
    with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  10. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
    though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence
    on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  11. Hi there! I know this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does building a well-established blog such as yours take a large amount of work?

    I am brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary everyday.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and views
    online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Thankyou!

  12. Simply want to say your article is as astounding. The clearness on your post is just spectacular and that i can suppose
    you are an expert on this subject. Well together with your permission allow
    me to grab your feed to keep updated with impending post.
    Thanks a million and please carry on the gratifying work.

  13. SEO ist komplex und wird über die Jahre immer komplexer.
    Es ist eine Zeitlang nicht länger möglich, mit langen Keyword-Listen unter deinem Text
    oder dem Eintrag deiner Website in 100 Webkataloge Top-Positionen zu ergattern. Zur Suchmaschinenoptimierung gehört mehr!
    Diese 29 SEO-Tipps solltest du umsetzen, wenn du dein Google-Ranking in 2020 (und weiter) verbessern möchtest.
    Und nicht nur ein ein wenig, sondern deutlich!
    Ein Rich Snippet mit 4 FAQ-Toggles ist tatsächlich 253 Pixel hoch.
    Durch die Anzeige dieser Toggles wird dein Suchergebnis größer und auffälliger.
    Danach bei durchschnittlich 4,8%! Ich will
    Ihnen nicht zu nahe treten das ist Bullshit. Wenn du mit einem FAQ Rich Snippet rankst, drückst du die anderen Suchergebnisse zwei bis drei Plätze herab.
    Für Google und Menschen zu schreiben ist kein Widerspruch (wenn man es richtig macht).
    Denn Googles Ziel ist es auch nicht, tausende SEO-Nischenseiten auf den ersten Plätzen unverheiratet, sondern vielmehr Nutzern die bestmöglichen Inhalte anzuzeigen und die bestmögliche Nutzererfahrung zu bieten.

  14. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they
    just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined
    out the whole thing without having side effect , people could
    take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks

  15. Its such as you read my thoughts! You appear to grasp so much
    approximately this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.
    I believe that you can do with some p.c. to pressure
    the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is
    great blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

  16. Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was
    extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it
    up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.

  17. Thanks for your personal marvelous posting! I certainly enjoyed reading it, you might be a great
    author. I will always bookmark your blog and will eventually come back
    from now on. I want to encourage you to definitely continue your great writing, have a nice holiday weekend!
