Traditionally, perfume is divided into male and female, and everyone, not really thinking, you may say, what's the difference between them. Perfumes for men are stronger and sharper, and fragrances for women – softer and softer. But why these fragrances are so clearly different?

The secret lies in the difference between the mainComponents - male and female perfumes are based on different ingredients. They are designed to highlight the sexual orientation of the fragrance, emphasize its masculinity or femininity. When combining women's smells, floral fragrances are traditionally taken as the basis - in fact, it is with a delicate and impermanent flower that the female image is often associated. But for men's perfumes are more suitable wood odors, emphasizing the calm and resilience of the nature of this man.

All this does not mean a complete lack of woody notes in women's fragrances and flower in male. The essence lies in the combination of colors, in different fragrances for different sexes. For example, in women's and men's perfumes can be found spicy notes. The scents for men that cinnamon and coriander are combined with woody aromas, look daring and energetic, but if the same substances mixed with feminine floral smell, we get the sweet and spicy aroma with warm colours.

There are, of course, the ingredients that can be used only in the perfume for men. So lavender and sage traditionally considered a male fragrance. They coarsen the existing bouquet and give it notes of tobacco shade... agree, such is simply unacceptable for a women's perfume. Musk and ambergris perfectly woven into the natural scent of our bodies and ennoble him, but they are of the same gender! Amber is more like the men and women musk.

And, of course, the big difference between the packaging of men's and women's perfume. When modeling vials for women, the designers give free rein to imagination, experimenting with color and form. But the men's smells are demanding greater rigor, and therefore usually hidden in simple bottles with a clear geometry.
