Fragrance Families
Chypre: The basic chypre accord consists of a combination of fresh notes (ex: citrus) and a mossy-woody complex. The inspiration of 20th century chypre-type perfumes is ‘Chypre de Coty’, created by Francois Coty, launched in 1917.
Citrus:Fragrance accords are reminiscent of fresh impressions coming from citrus peels, ex: Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lime.
Floral:Fragrance accords are reminiscent of flowers, such as the "first ladies of flowers": Jasmine, Rose, Tuberose and Ylang-Ylang.
Floriental: It is a lighter variant of the typically heavy Oriental type of perfume, in which floral notes are accentuated.
Fougere:(Foo-jair) This is a French word meaning ‘fern’. Fragrance accords result from a harmonious blend of fern-like notes blended with herbal notes such as Lavender. It was coined after Houbigant’s ‘Fougere Royale’ a century ago. One of the first modern fougere perfumes to become highly popular was the masculine fragrance ‘Brut’, launched by Fabergé in 1964.
Fruity: It refers to sweet or sour edible fruit odors (excluding citrus), ex: apple, berries or melons.
Oriental:Fragrance accords create corresponding associations by the interplay of balsamic, sweet and ambery aspects, ex: wood, benzoin, tolu, amber, and vanilla, often contrasted with fresh, citrus aspects. These fragrances tend to be more heavy and intense.
Woody: It refers to the aroma of freshly cut, dry woods such as Cedar wood, Patchouli, Vetiver or Sandalwood.

Fragrances 101

What do fragrance notes refer to?
Fragrances comprise many different scents; these scents are called "notes." Top notes are very light and last just a few minutes (5-10 minutes). Middle notes become apparent in about 15 minutes after application. These can last up to an hour or more. Bottom notes are the heavier ingredients. These last the longest, usually for several hours.
Accord:It is equivalent to a chord in music. An accord in perfumery describes a balanced complex of 3 or 4 fragrance notes which lose their individual identity to create a completely new, unified odor impression. Each component material is in balance and harmony with each other so that no single component can be detected.

As a Man Thinketh.................

“People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.” —As a Man Thinketh

We spend thousands of dollars a year for clothing, cosmetics and other items to change or improve our outward appearance, but very little money or time to change our inward condition. Many people easily spend an hour a day brushing, flossing, bathing and shaving the outside, but find every reason in the world not to spend even a few minutes a day improving the inside.

How do you apply what you learn from As a Man Thinketh? Since it is our thoughts that determine the life we will have, you must focus on doing those things that will change your thoughts, and nothing is more effective at changing your thoughts than reading the right books.

I first read As a Man Thinketh because of Charlie “Tremendous” Jones. I had attended a seminar where he spoke and he had a table set up at the seminar where, among other things, he offered a huge discount on a big bundle of various personal-development and self-help books. I bought the big bundle because I’m a sucker for a “good deal.” As it turned out, it was one of the best deals of my life, because several years later, when I finally got around to reading the little book, As a Man Thinketh literally changed my life.

“Most homes valued at over $250,000 have a library. That should tell us something.” —Jim Rohn

Reasons For Starting A Business

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 02, 2011

While the reasons for starting a business vary from person to person, one of the primary motivations of entrepreneurs is to escape the uncertainty that comes from working for someone else. Start-up business owners often cite the desire for independence and comfort in what they are doing for taking that great leap forward.

However, for many aspiring business owners, there are things holding them back. Perhaps the most significant is the fear of the unknown, with the lack of practical resources like capital and skills presenting additional challenges. Starting a business takes major investments of time and money, and there is no sure pay-off waiting at the end.

It is important to realize that most new business owners face these hurdles, and many manage to overcome them. How do they do it? It all comes down to determination and commitment, paired with the right infrastructure in place to help encourage success.

Build a business structure

Many people who have successfully launched their own businesses started from learning the basics of acquiring and retaining customers from someone else. They may have read about it, talked to fellow business owners or just figured things out as they went along. The bottom line is that they learned by experience, something we call learning "in action."

One of the best ways to grow the skills needed is to start working with an infrastructure that has proven success in similar applications. This gives an opportunity to grow the business, while using a model that has been proven. By focusing less on operational issues, an entrepreneur can concentrate the energy on taking a product to consumers, marketing the company and retaining clients.

Choose a mentor

A great way to start is to work with a company that uses a network marketing model to sell their products. This model, embraced by FM Cosmetics, is one of the oldest business structures in modern commerce, and is used by some of the world's largest companies.

Network marketing involves the use of a mobile sales force to market and distribute products, as well as to recruit additional distributors. The great thing for entrepreneurs is that it allows them to receive commissions not only from the items they sell, but from the sales of the distributors they have recruited. This gives the company larger profits and greater brand recognition, while providing salespeople a great deal of flexibility in how they find success.

New entrepreneurs should be careful of which company they join. They may feel tempted to go with the most well-known company, but keep in mind that there is an elevated level of competition between distributors within these networks. As an alternative, it is often better to work with a company that is fairly new, even though it has been validated in the marketplace. Joining this type of organization gives the ability to more quickly establish and grow your customer base.
