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. Der Rahmen fällt bei einem Fenster nicht sonderlich ins Auge.

    Als Träger der Verglasung ist er ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil des Bauelements.
    Laut Institut Wohnen und Umwelt (IWU) macht er allerdings
    zwischen 15 und 35 Prozent des gesamten Fensters aus.
    Die Ausnahme bilden feste Verglasungen, die sich nicht öffnen lassen. Der Blendrahmen ist
    das grundlegende Bauteil, das die Stabilität ausmacht. Er ist fest in dem Mauerwerk verankert und bildet damit die Basis für die wichtigsten Funktionen wie Einbruchs-und Schallschutz.
    In diesem Moment ist das Fenster nur aus Blendrahmen und
    Verglasung aufgebaut. Der Wandanschluss muss luftdicht erfolgen, um eventuelle Energieverluste zu vermeiden. Der Fensterflügel ist mit Scharnieren – den so genannten Bändern – hierbei Blendrahmen verbunden. Auch die Energieeffizienz wird durch den richtigen Einbau des Blendrahmens mitbestimmt.

    Dazu ist der Fensterflügel zusätzlich mit Dichtungen aus Gummi versehen. Er fügt sich perfekt
    in die Öffnung des Blendrahmens ein und sorgt damit für einen festen und dichten Verschluss des
    Fensters. Bei den Fensterrahmen ist zu beobachte, dass die
    modernen Elemente heute etwas dicker sind als noch vor
    einigen Jahrzehnten. Der Beruhen auf einfach: Bestanden die Fenster in früheren Zeiten aus einer einzelnen Glasscheibe,
    kombinieren sie heute mehrere Scheiben zu Verbundmaterialien. Sie müssen flexibel langen, um sich gut zu Fenstern in verschiedenen Formen verarbeiten zu lassen. Die Zwischenräume sind mit isolierenden Gasen gefüllt, um eine möglichst gute Dämmwirkung zu erzielen. All das braucht seinen Platz.
    Da die Fensterelemente allerdings wie man es auch macht schlanker als das Mauerwerk bleiben, ins sie verwendet
    werden, ist diese größere Stärke kein Problem.

  18. Die Kirche maß stets der Weihnachtskrippe den größten Symbolgehalt zu und
    war seit ewigen Jahren verhalten gegenüber der unreligiösen Tradition des Weihnachtsbaums.
    Erst Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts öffnete sich die Kirche dem
    Brauchtum und erlaubte Weihnachtsbäume in den Gotteshäusern. Weihnachtsbaum im Vatikan ein: Erstmals erstrahlte ein dekorierter Baum aufm
    Petersplatz in Rom. 1982 führte Papst Johannes Paul
    II. Der Weihnachtsbaum wird traditionell vor Heiligabend
    ins Wohnzimmer geholt. Wann genau Sie ihn aufstellen, hängt von Ihrer persönlichen Vorliebe ab und davon, wie lange Sie den Baum frisch halten können. Wie
    lange der Baum dann stehen bleibt, ist ebenfalls von den eigenen Vorlieben abhängig und in einzelnen Fällen regional unterschiedlich.
    Viele Familien stellen den Baum erst zwischen dem 3.
    Advent und Heiligabend auf, manche möchten jedoch länger etwas vom Baum
    haben. Viele lassen den Weihnachtsbaum bis zum Dreikönigstag
    am 6. Januar stehen. In anderen Regionen ist es hingegen üblich, den Baum bis Fest am 2.

    Februar nicht verleugnen lassen.

  19. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and
    screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off
    topic but I had to tell someone!
