Perfume accessories and the different types of scent available: part 1Perfume is a woman’s best friend and a very important tool in her cosmetics set. Apart from looking elegant in front of her peers, smelling great is an added bonus and can allow her to become the centre of attraction in a crowd easily. The common knowledge of ‘wearing perfume’ is to simply apply or spray the liquid onto the clothes we are wearing and the scent will begin to diffuse as though it comes right from our bodies. In the current age, we are able to literally ‘wear’ the scent on us now thanks to the birth of perfume accessories.
Perfume accessories, otherwise known as ‘fragrance necklaces’ or ‘scent pendants’, are designed to enable you to kill two birds with one stone, namely to give out a sweet scent in the public and look great wearing a piece of exquisite jewellery on yourself. Worrying about the cost of such a special series of items? Fret not, perfume accessories come in different shapes and materials, which equates to a wide range of cost. For consumers on a budget, they can check out perfume accessories manufactured using less costly metals and alloys, or even non-metallic materials altogether. Let’s check out the types of materials generally used in the creation of these wonderful accessories.
a) Metallic Perfume AccessoriesThe most common metal being used is sterling silver, which can easily give out an air of elegance with its beautiful shine. Another great option is pewter, which can easily be polished to an equally fantastic shine. The consistency of pewter allows it to be worked easily, hence forming some really exceptional Celtic jewellery pieces. Some may prefer a more antique, Victorian feel, and thus make brass another option in crafting certain perfume accessories. Of course, there is gold-made jewellery capable of diffusing scent, which caters to the upper class people.
b) Non-metallic Perfume AccessoriesFor the non-metallic counterpart, the no-brainer choice is definitely glass. A few common instances include Murano glass, Dichroic glass and many more. What makes glass a popular choice is that it can be heated and coated to give out different colors based on the craftsman’s choice. In addition, some pendants are made into shapes of a miniature bottle or vial and are able to hold a small volume of perfume of your own choosing.
If you prefer a more exotic outlook, there are perfume accessories made of clay or ceramic and designed for that particular feel. These materials are significantly cheaper and with the right design, they look as great as any other product made of expensive metals.
Why Wear Perfume Accessories?There are many reasons why people wear jewellery, with the most common reason being that it is essentially the most straightforward method to demonstrate your social status, identity and wealth. If you see a woman at a cocktail party wearing a bunch of gold necklaces, bangles and diamond rings, won’t you immediately assume that she most probably is an extremely well-to-do lady belonging to the upper echelon of society? On a more basic level, jewellery is used to accessorize an outfit, to make a plain-looking dress more eye-catching, and in the case of perfume accessories, more sweet-smelling!
Ultimately, people wear accessories so that they will get noticed, which is the same reason why they wear perfume. Choosing the right design and style of the accessory is important, as choosing a suitable scent that projects your personality. The human sense of smell is very sensitive, so make sure you pick the right scent to go along with your accessories.
