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.

  2. Wow, amazing blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
    you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site
    is fantastic, let alone the content!

  3. I think that what you composed made a ton of sense.
    However, what about this? what if you composed a catchier
    post title? I ain’t saying your information isn’t solid., but suppose you added a title that grabbed people’s attention?
    I mean French Scents – Bryanna Vs The World is a little plain. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article
    headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about everything’ve got to say.

    In my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more
    interesting.

  4. I am now not certain the place you’re getting your info, but
    good topic. I needs to spend some time studying much more or figuring out more.

  5. Awesome blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m
    a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like
    Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
    I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Appreciate it!

  6. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem
    to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this
    is a formatting issue or something to do with
    web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks

  17. Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam
    feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything
    you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any
    support is very much appreciated.

  18. First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick
    question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
    or tips? Kudos!

  19. You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation however I in finding this topic to be actually one thing which I feel I
    would by no means understand. It sort of feels too
    complex and very extensive for me. I am looking forward on your next put up,
    I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!

  20. After going over a handful of the blog posts on your blog,
    I really like your technique of writing a blog.
    I book-marked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back in the near future.
    Take a look at my web site too and let me know what you
    think.

  21. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites
    for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.

    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!
