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.

  1. Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to
    be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is
    a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but
    I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though!
    Hope you get the issue solved soon. Kudos

  4. May I simply say what a comfort to uncover a person that truly understands what they’re discussing on the net.

  5. When I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new

    Appreciate it!

    through many of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
    Regardless, I’m definitely pleased I stumbled upon it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back often!

  16. obviously like your web-site however you have to test the spelling on several of
    your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to inform the truth then again I’ll definitely come back again.

    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

    blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you,
    you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I came across this during my search for
    something regarding this.

    looking for. Do you offer guest writers to
    write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write in relation to here.
    Again, awesome site!

  23. Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working

    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  24. I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all
    site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever
    before.

  25. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about
    worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail
    upon the top as well as defined out the whole
    thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

    curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    Thanks
