You Smell Nice – But What Else?
There has been a trend recently with recent perfumes promoting more than just scent.
You can now buy perfume that claims to improve your skin, combat aging and other ailments. There’s even a perfume called Smiley that claims to reduce stress!
It all sounds a bit cooky, but it isn’t completely far fetched. For one, Aromatherapy regularly uses thereapies that you inhale, and you have things like decongestants which you inhale. Furthermore, it’s more a case of what you don’t, rather than what you do, put into the perfume – for example, alcohol free perfume generally does less damage to you skin than perfume with alcohol in it.
However, specifically adding compounds and bases to perfume so that they have health benefits is an interesting idea, and has already attracted a number of large brands, who are looking for alternatives to the current trend of “celebrity perfumes”.
So will 2008 bring perfumes that promote more than scent? What do you think?
