The great thing about online fragrance shopping is that is provides you with one convenient and versatile place to find anything and everything you need.  Best of all, online shoppers can browse a wide variety of fragrances from multiple online stores and manufactures without ever leaving their homes.  

Ditching the Traditional Shopping Experience

The Internet lends itself to numerous benefits over traditional shopping – just think about it.  No more standing in lines, sitting in traffic, searching for parking spaces, carrying bags or rushing through your shopping experience because the store is about to close.  

Remember, the Internet is open to customers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, where online shoppers can find fragrances from companies based around the world - not just around the corner. In addition, Internet shopping takes place in a safe and fun environment that knows no global time difference.

Internet websites also improve the online shopping experience with their ability to list tons of products without the page limitations attached to catalogues.  

A Little Known Way Online Shopping Can Save You Money

By shopping online for fragrances, you can also compare prices from multiple websites to ensure you are receiving the best possible deal.  Just like department stores, online retailers are in constant competition with each other, each one striving to attract the most customers by offering the lowest prices.  This ever-evolving process further enhances your chances of landing a great bargain.

Convenience, Credibility and Confidence

Online shopping today is a quick and easy, where most companies will ship fragrances in as little as a few business days.  Shopping online for fragrances is as simple as choosing a category, selecting a fragrance, adding it to your cart and checking out.

Online shopping also provides a wealth of information on items such as designer fragrances.  This is one of the reasons that 72% of online shoppers prefer surfing the web to going to a retail store.

Another advantage of shopping online as opposed to in a retail or department store is the accessibility to reviews from other customers.  Many people are happy to post their thoughts and comments about their favorite fragrances, which should aid you in your purchasing decision.

Finally, you can pay for your fragrance online with a credit card, where encrypted credit card data ensures that your information remains safe, secure and confidential.

One of the latest celebrities to dip their feet into the designer fragrance pool, pop star Rihanna is set to launch her signature perfume - a fragrance she is hoping no man can resist.

Rihanna, who hired a scientist to test her signature fragrance, claims that she “spent plenty of time with the chemist mixing the formulas.”  

To help Rihanna with the launch of her perfume, fellow recording artist Jay-Z  signed a deal between his company, Iconic Fragrances LLC, and Parlux Fragrances Inc., so that Parlux would market Rihanna’s new scent.  The scent is set for release as a part of the agreement this summer.

Rihanna has yet to decide on a name for her signature scent, but she is counting on her fans to help.  In search of the best name for her new perfume, Rihanna has opened the doors to suggestions over the Internet.

Rihanna hopes that the release of her signature scent will help her make a comeback after recent controversy over assault charges filed against her ex-boyfriend.  

The singer and songwriter revealed in a recent interview that it was a mistake to date her now ex-boyfriend again, and that she is hoping the release of her new perfume will put her back on the map in a positive light.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian from the hit E! series Keeping Up with the Kardashians always dreamed of starting her own perfume business.  As a child, she gathered flowers from outside and put them in a blender to concoct her own scents, believing that this was the method used to create fragrances.  However, it was not until her mother introduced Kim to a perfumer that her lifelong dream would become a reality.

Early Stages of Development
Originally presented in 2009, Kim Kardashian by Kim Kardashian is the first commercial fragrance launched by the reality TV star. 
A firm believer in participatory perfume design, Kim Kardashian brainstormed and tested scent combinations based on the personal preferences of her fans.  During the early stages of development, Kim posed the question on her blog:

“Without naming specific brands, what types of scents are you most drawn to – vanilla, musk, floral, fruity or other type of scent?” 
The scent of her debut perfume was not the only factor that concerned Kardashian.  In developing her signature scent, Kim also wanted to know which colors would make for the most attractive bottle. 

Many of her blog readers suggested dark pink as a great color, but Kim and the majority of her Facebook and Twitter fans agreed that a light pink bottleneck and symbol (Kim Kardashian’s initials in a lace motive) would work best against a dark purple flacon.  

Kardashian Chooses Fragrance Notes
After gathering preferences from her fans, Kardashian met with perfumer Claude Dir of Givaudan to develop her signature scent, where she would choose between seven possible scents, each one a unique combination derived from her likes and dislikes. 
During this stage of development, Kardashian claimed, “Tuberose and gardenia are two of my must-haves.”  Accordingly, both fragrance notes made the list.

A Sweet, Sensual and Sexy Scent
Kim Kardashian by Kim Kardashian opens with luminous, sweet and refreshing notes of mandarin, touched with floral-lemon, honeysuckle and orange blossom.

Intoxicating floral middle notes intertwine with sensual, sexy base notes that include warm and gentle Tonka, jacaranda wood, vanilla orchid, musk and sandalwood. 

The final composition of the designer fragrance also includes crisp top notes and a heart of jasmine, tuberose, gardenia and spices, delivering a sweet, sensual and sexy scent that captures the essence of youth.

Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!
Let's face it. Old Man Winter can (and does) wreak havoc on your skin. Constant moisturizing is essential during the colder months. It's no fun to smile when it feels like your face is going to crack and your skin is raw. That chapped skin isn't just a result of the cold air, either. While frigid temperatures contribute to the problem, so does too much heat. Overheating your house can zap the moisture right out of your skin. And while there is nothing better than a hot bath on a cold day, the same thing holds true: hot water will leave you feeling itchy and dry. Lukewarm is the best option, although not as enticing! Another tip? Be sure to apply your moisturizer immediately after your shower. If you tend to use gel-based moisturizers, you may consider switching to creamier versions during the winter, which are less likely to dry out. Also, if you get in the habit of washing your hands more to avoid the flu, be sure to carry moisturizer with you wherever you go. Alcohol-based antibacterial lotions will kill your hands! If necessary, wear socks or gloves immediately after you use your lotion to lock in moisture.

Avoid Bad Hair Days
Your hair needs moisturizing just as much as your skin does, so it's essential to use a shampoo specifically designed to trap the moisture, especially when it's cold out. Depending on your hair type, select a shampoo and conditioner with just the right amount of hydration - ultra hydrating products can are often too much for thinner hair. Limit your time with the hair dryer. This one might seem like a no-brainer, but it's important to reiterate. Let your hair air dry for as long as possible and then finish with the hair dryer. Hot oil treatments can help to keep moisture in, as well as everyday kitchen products like olive or vegetable oil. Moisturizing shampoos and conditioners will also alleviate static, which tends to rear its ugly head in the winter.

Winterize Your Makeup
As winter bears down on us, we lose our summer skin tone. One way to avoid looking washed out is by mixing a little brown color into your daily eye shadow to warm it up. You can also switch to a slightly darker shade of foundation, if necessary. If you're concerned about more than your face, try a self-tanner (preferably one that won't give your skin an orange hue). If you like to use bronzer, make sure it's the right tone for your skin. Nothing stands out more than dark bronzer on fair skin!

The Nails Know
Don't neglect your nails (this goes for feet and hands!) just because they are covered with socks and gloves. Our nails need attention in the winter, too. Apply cuticle oil or cream to avoid splitting and to keep them healthy and conditioned. A weekly manicure, whether at home or at the salon, is recommended so your nails don't become brittle. You can also use a base coat of polish with protein to strengthen your nails.

Those Poor Lips
There is nothing worse than a case of chapped lips. And winter weather does its best to whip up on our lips, ultimately causing burning, chapping and cracking. It's not a pretty sight, and licking them only makes the problem worse. Cheap lip balms just don't cut it, either. Your cherry-flavored Lip Smackers might temporarily ease discomfort, but it won't help to prevent or heal chapped lips. Ingredients to look for in a lip balm are tea tree oil, beeswax, vitamin E, aloe and essential oils. It will help to apply your lip balm several times a day.

Diet and Supplements
Nutrition is great for your skin any time of year, so it's important to keep up a good nutritional plan during the winter months as well. You can boost your immune system with an extra dose of vitamins, which will help to ward off bacteria and germs during flu season. These vitamins will help to keep your immune system strong and healthy: Vitamin A, Vitamin B-Complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. A daily supplement that contains all of the necessary dosages is recommended. Eating plenty of leafy greens can help to prevent dry and cracking skin.

Oh, the Humanity!
OK, so maybe a humidifier isn't the most glamorous purchase, but it's well worth the splurge during the winter months. A humidifier is key to keeping dryness levels in your home to a minimum. Don't let dry air zap the life out of your face!

Watch Your Alcohol
We're mainly talking about hair and skin products that have high concentrations of alcohol, but consuming too much can also dehydrate you. Those products that contain alcohol feel nice and cool to the skin, but they are really pulling the moisture right out. Save that cool, breezy feeling for the summer. During the winter, invest in products that are alcohol-free.

Money's No Option
You don't have to spend tons of money on a new line of hair and skincare products just for the winter months. Zone in on your problem areas and buy accordingly. For instance, do you suffer from chapped lips all winter long, but your hair is always gleaming? Then invest in the lip care and forget about hair products. You get the point here. It is a good idea, however, to purchase quality facial moisturizers as well as body lotion, or even consider buying a shea butter - one jar of that will last all season long.
 
The Sun'll Come Out!
People tend to think that when summer fades, so does the need for sunscreen. The sun's power is the same no matter what time of year it is. You may not feel the intensity of the heat like you do in warmer weather, but the rays are still there, in full force, doing the same damage to your face. So don't forget the sunscreen! If you don't want to smell like you've just come from the beach, invest in scent-free sunscreens or buy makeup that contains an SPF of at least 15.

Rule 1 of a job interview is always bring an extra copy of your resume. Rule 2, we were always told, was to never wear a fragrance.  Your interviewer could be allergic, they might not like it, or the scent might be too strong. Well we found the fragrances that are OK to wear on an interview.

Try a light airy smell. One perfume to consider is Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue – this floral and fresh smell will never be overpowering – but stick to about two squirts.

If you want to try something even a little more subtle try Flora by Gucci or Be Delicious from DNKY. The combination of citrus and patchouli make Flora a light airy scent. The cucumber, apple and grapefruit make for a nice fresh citrus smell in Be Delicious.

A green scent can also work quite well. For example, Balmain's Vent Vert might be a little risky but Molinard de Molinard could be just the right one.

When it comes to colognes, your best option is to stay with the classic scents.

Try Dior Fahrenheit. This daytime cologne is a nice combination of honeysuckle, sandalwood and balsam which makes for a light airy scent that won’t be overbearing.

The 40+ year-old cologne Guerlain Vetiver is fresh and outdoorsy. Even though it has hints of wood and tobacco, it’s a great airy scent.

Also, there will be no mistake made by choosing a light citrus fragrance like L'Eau d' Issey Pour Homme Summer.
