The Art and Science of Fragrance

In the 1500’s, Francis Bacon said that: “Virtue is like precious odors',—most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed.” And almost since the beginning of time, perfumes have been indeed taken from flowers, herbs, oils and various garden varieties, to crush, captivate and secure the most tempting of scents. Frankincense and spices were presented as the highest of valued forms in times of B.C. Hundred of poems have been written about the beauty of scent and it’s aphrodisiac effects.

These sensual pleasures are known to:

Create a relaxing mood
Portray scented memories for the holidays
Festive mood for parties
A scent for your own identity
Inviting and warm welcoming
To lure one to be enraptured with another

And, so, today the perfumery and toiletries industry is a huge multi-billion dollar business. We go to our favorite department stores to make buying decisions, we pursue bath and beauty product stores that cause us to linger and leave with large bags of goodies. We’ve developed a keen sense of smell for our favorites. We love our fragrances - in perfumes, candles, oils and more. I imagine you could look around your home, and find an ample display/supply of good smelling bouquets in various forms that match one’s moods and promotes one's passions.

To that end, Beauty.org is helping you to discover new blended scents on a aromatic excursion, to learn about fragrances that captivate, and scented items to share for gifts and other occasions. We bring announcements to you on what to look for, and information on where to find free samples.

It has been said that a woman’s sense of smell is keener than a man’s, and that fragrances may stimulate the endorphins in the brain. Researchers are also studying the analgesic effect of fragrance on pain. Fragrance is important to us.

America is the largest fragrance market in the world. We have wonderful sources for historical and cultural scents that bring us welcoming delight and captivate memories to enrich our lives. Beauty.org, too, will bring those pleasures and memories to your doorstep as we explore the wonders on the scents that can and do surround us.
