Ah….the sweet, smell of perfume! Today's market is flooded with hundreds and hundreds of different fragrances ranging from floral to woodsy. Most women love the smell of perfume, wearing it even when going to the grocery store. The problem is that perfume allergy for some women, is anything but nice.

Shopping for perfumes or personal fragrances can be a daunting task, particularly if it's for a friend or lover.
Obviously online at Myshopping.com.au you cannot compare the actual scent of different fragrances. But, once you have a
fairly good idea of what you are looking for, you can compare the different offerings from different brands and vendors
very easily. So, how do you know what you are looking for? The following simple steps will narrow the search down
somewhat.

tara, i had no idea perfume was such a big to-do! These photos are absolutely gorgeous, so sensual ... perfectly capturing the essence of the society and industry that has grown up around scenting our bodies like flowers ... beautiful blog post.

Thanks for all your kind words on my blog. Your post about your dad was just beautiful and the picture! I really liked these images from the exhibition, though. When I think of perfume It's always sort of a whispy, romantic thought. These reminded me of all the science involved! Funny how many things in our lives are touched by who-knows-how-many other lives before they get to us.

I'm a simple girl when it comes to perfume, but I find these endlessly fascinating - certainly not something I would see in my neck of the woods so thank you for sharing them with us.

The exhibit wasn't arranged in any particular order. In the posts, I arranged the pictures the way they seemed to fit. My favourite photos are in the first post.

This has been the most interesting visual design walkabout. I notice that the three reports, though all related, seem to be group on similar visual themes. Is this by your design and arrangement or is this how the exhibit progressed? Fascinating. Who would have thought so much effort went into the design of a bottle?

I bought the Kenzo in Paris a couple of years ago, love the fragrance but loved the bottle even more :-)
The photos are fantastic...and thank you for the french...but a question:
"Et puis....briser le pierre"
And then....break the ???
If my context clues serve me correctly (which often they do NOT when translating), I would guess "pierre" is something like a "seal"?
