The History and Evolution of Modern Perfumes and Fragrances

Origins of Perfume The use of aromatic fragrances has been documented as far back asCleopatra's time in ancient Egypt. Perfumes were primarily used then for religious ceremonies and rituals. Fragrant herbs, spices, woods, and plant materials were often burned to create pleasant smelling smoke. Fragrances were also used to mask body odors in the days before regular bathing was practiced. As civilizations developed, so did the art of fragrance making. Ambergris, a waxy substance from sperm whales, became highly prized in fragrance making during the medieval period due its ability to fix other notes and extend their longevity. In ancient Mesopotamia and Assyria, fragrances were primarily associated with medicine and magic rather than aesthetics. The Rise of French Perfume During the 16th to 18th centuries, fragrance making became very popular across Europe, especially in France. This was largely due to Catherine de' Medici of Italy, who brought her entourage of Italian fragrances to the French court when she married King Henry II of France in 1533. Their skills and techniques, such as enfleurage—whereby flowers and flowers essences were extracted using fat—helped establish France as the center of high-quality fragrance Perfume production . One of the most famous early French fragrances was François Coty. Starting in 1904, he was among the first to package and market his products in decorative bottles and to design marketing campaigns. Major brands like Chanel, Dior, and Guerlain were established in Paris during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, dominating the global fine fragrance industry for decades. The Rise of Celebrity and Mass Market Scents By the 1950s, French fashion houses had inspired a new era of glamour and luxury fragrance brands, while celebrities increasingly endorsed and launched their own signature scents. Celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Estée Lauder heavily promoted the idea that a beautiful fragrance was essential to a woman's beauty regimen and sense of femininity. Estée Lauder also helped make cosmetics and fragrance accessible to the mass market by selling products at more affordable prices. In the 1970s, fashion designer brands poured significant resources into advertising their glamorous new launches and made fragrance a lifestyle accessory. Meanwhile, smaller brands emerged offering more natural options. This period marked the beginning of fine fragrance evolving into a mass consumer product. Get more insights on Perfume

The Art of Wearing Oud Perfume for Men: Tips for Longevity and Impact

Explore the exquisite collection of oud perfumes for men at Birra Fragrances and discover the perfect scent that complements your unique style. 

Visit our website today and find your signature oud perfume for men, crafted to leave a lasting impression. 

Let Birra Fragrances enhance your fragrance journey with sophistication and elegance.

Strategies for Longevity and Impact with Oud Perfume for Men

Oud perfume, the "liquid gold" of fragrances, is an exquisite and intricate scent that has been revered for ages. Its deep, rich, and woody aroma is a popular choice for men who want to leave an enduring impression. However, wearing oud perfume requires some finesse and knowledge to ensure the scent is long-lasting and impactful. 

In this post, we will delve into the art of wearing oud perfume for men, offering advice on how to apply it, make it last, and maximize its effect.

Discovering Oud Perfume for Men

Before we get to the application tips, it's crucial to comprehend what makes oud perfume so exceptional. Oud, extracted from the agarwood tree's resin, has a unique scent that is earthy, sweet, and smoky. Its depth and complexity have made it one of the most prized elements in the world of perfumery.

Oud perfume for men often incorporates other notes such as spices, citrus, and florals, creating a nuanced fragrance that evolves. This complexity makes oud perfume so captivating and why it requires special attention when applied.

Choosing the Right Oud Perfume for Men

When it comes to selecting an oud perfume for men, the first step is crucial for achieving a scent that is both long-lasting and impactful. 

There are several factors to take into account when making this decision:

Concentration: Different concentrations of oud perfumes are available, ranging from eau de toilette (EDT) to pure parfum. The higher the concentration, such as Eau de parfum (EDP) or parfum, the more fragrance oils are present and the longer the scent will last on your skin.

Notes: It's important to pay attention to the other notes present in the fragrance. A well-balanced oud perfume for men will have top, middle, and base notes that blend harmoniously with the oud.

Occasion: Consider the occasion when choosing an oud perfume. Some are more appropriate for special events or evening wear due to their intensity, while others are lighter and more suited for daily use.

Tips for Applying Oud Perfume for Men

If you want to maximize the longevity of your oud perfume for men, try these application tips:

Start at Your Pulse Points

By applying your oud perfume for men to pulse points, you will expose the scent to the heat generated by the blood vessels closest to your skin. 

The most common pulse points are the wrists, neck, inside of the elbows, and behind the ears. By doing this, you'll keep the fragrance flowing throughout the day.

Moisturize Your Skin

If your skin is dry, it tends to absorb fragrance quickly, causing it to fade away faster. 

To extend the life of your oud perfume for men, apply a fragrance-free moisturizer or body oil to your skin before applying the perfume.

This creates a barrier that helps lock in the fragrance.

Layer Your Fragrance

Try layering multiple products with the same scent profile to enhance the fragrance. 

Try using an oud-scented body wash or soap, followed by an oud-infused lotion, and finish with your oud perfume for men.

 Layering in this way creates a more substantial and longer-lasting scent.

Be Mindful of Application

It's important to use oud perfume for men sparingly, as it's highly concentrated. 

Applying too much can be overwhelming for both you and those around you. 

Begin with a light spritz or two, and gradually add more if desired. Remember, the aim is to create a subtle yet noticeable effect.

Spray, Don't  Rub

Once you've applied the oud perfume for men, avoid rubbing your wrists together. 

This can break down the fragrance molecules and change the scent. Simply let it dry naturally on your skin.

Crafting a Lasting Impression: The Art of Oud Perfume for Men With Birra Fragrances

To wear oud perfume for men like a pro, you need to master the art of detail and follow some key steps to ensure its long-lasting and impactful effects. Knowing the distinctive features of oud, selecting the right fragrance, and applying it correctly are crucial for making the most of this luxurious scent. 

Whether you're gearing up for a special occasion or just looking to add some flair to your daily routine, these pointers will give you the confidence and style to sport oud perfume for men expertly.

At Birra Fragrances, we provide an exclusive range of oud perfumes for men that cater to different personalities and events.

Upcoming Taiwanese BLs

We are over halfway through 2024, and as usual, I've only had two Taiwanese BLs (Unknown, Anti Reset), so even though I'm sitting on a stack of BLs to watch every single week from other countries, call me Smaug because I need MORE!

Honorary Korean BL: Uncovering the Curse of Taekwondo (2024)

Former friends (and possibly lovers) reunite at a funeral after going their separate ways for over a decade, but, honestly, I don't care about the plot because this comes from Hwang Da Seul who was behind Blueming, To My Star, and Where Your Eyes Linger, so I know it's going to be amazing. There is a movie and a series version, and the movie already premiered at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea at the beginning of July. The runtime was 154 minutes, but the series is eight episodes around thirty minutes each and is currently seeking distribution.

First Note of Love (August 2024)

My most beloved, Charles Tu, from my favorite BL HIStory 4: Close to You is finally returning to me in the form of a washed-up singer who stepped away from the spotlight due to a tragic event only to be dragged back in by an up-and-coming composer who is also a longtime fan. It is a joint production with Thailand's Star Hunter Entertainment (the company behind Big Dragon, Love Senior, City of Stars, and Sunset x Vibes) and features a side couple of a Thai singer and a Taiwanese agent. It will involve singing, but I'm already too comfortable in my seat with my snacks to care.

Fragrance of the First Flower Season 2 (2024)

The lone GL holding down this list finished filming late last year and Gagaoolala has been releasing BTS images since filming began, so it'll likely land there once it is released. The series is a continuation of the 2021 first season, which people were not thrilled about because of the ending, so this season should solve some of the angst we were left with by exploring the two women actually coming together to navigate life as a couple.

The Only One (August 2024)

Directed by Liu Kuang Hui, who directed Your Name Engraved Herein, written by the same folks behind The Untamed, and based on Mu Su Li's novel A Certain Someone which is about two boys whose parents are dating and move in together, so the mains go from enemies-to-??? and the only reason for the question marks on a Taiwanese BL is because the word on these BL streets (and his MDL page) is one of the actors works heavily in China, so this might be the reason this one has been was in limbo even though filming finished earlier this year, but the socials are still posting it's coming this year.

See Your Love (Filming Complete)

This co-production with Japan is about a rich man who falls in love with his hearing-impaired caregiver. It finished filming at the end of May and will have those sweet sweet Taiwanese BL cameos from some Be Loved in House: I Do and Plus and Minus folks PLUS it will be the first cameos for the Kiseki: Dear to Me guys since the company that produced their show is the same one for this show.

Impression of Youth (Filming Complete)

Very little is known about the plot of this teacher-student romance, but it comes from the same folks who produced DNA Says Love You and one of the mains, Muji Hsu, was also the lead in 2020's Because of You. Filming finished at the end of May, and the company stated it would be out before the end of the year.

Islanders (late 2024/early 2025)

This is based on a novel, Islands, by Lolita Hu, features some well known Taiwanese actors, and for a bit was under the name Sea of Intimacy. It's being presented as an 'older BL' but the MDL summary is sparse of the BL-plot: Hung, a successful entrepreneur, has three intimate relationships: his wife, his mistress, and his girlfriend. The lives of these individuals in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s are intertwined because of romance, but their story extends beyond that. When Hung faces criticism on social media and loses everything, the way they react tells us how they see the world.

Wishing Upon the Shooting Star & The Young Gangster (2025)

These two deal with completely different plots but are together because of one reason: Ray Jiang. He is the director for these two and was the director for Unknown, My Tooth Your Love, and We Best Love. The companies behind them have stated the series are coming next year, but the guess is Ray's busy schedule is part of the hold up since he has a Netflix series in the works and apparently a film featuring Sam Lin (We Best Love) on the way. The Young Gangster is based on a novel and deals with a research assistant gathering information on the mafia (and we know how the mafia works in BLs), while Shooting Star deals with a man wishing that nobody notices him once he returns to his hometown after being fired. The wish backfires and nobody recognizes him, not even his dad or the boy he confessed to in high school! BL Mafia, Sideways Wishes, and Ray Ray are my favorite types of snacks!

Pray in Love (2025?)

A police officer falls in love with a man only to realize that man is the son of a prominent leader on the day of his arranged wedding in which he was hired as security for the event. The series already released a short film of the basic premise for fundraising efforts and festival rounds. Apparently, filming has started on the series, but there is no concrete confirmation from the production company.

Eternal Butler (2025)

Edited to add thanks to @cankersoregirl! This is a sequel to VBL's Anti Reset and began filming in early July. It focuses on Ever 4 who is sent to be a bodyguard for a young rich man only to encounter a rebellious man.

That Year, 162 Rainfalls (In Production?)

Is this a movie? Is it a series? Is it happening?! Who knows, but last year, it finally got funding and a director attached to it, but the real kicker is Lin Pei Yu is the screenwriter, and she is the writer behind all of my favorite Taiwanese BLs: We Best Love, HIStory 3: Trapped, My Tooth Your Love, Kiseki: Dear to Me, and so much more. Basically, the company struck gold getting her for this story about two archers and best friends. One gets confessed to but admits he actually is in love with his best friend, but before love can happen, the best friend has an accident and falls into a coma. It is based on a novel of the same name, and the plot is way more hefty than this, but I know Lin Pei Yu will make it work!

Four Seasons (Pre, Pre, PRE-Production?)

This is supposed to be four different stories focusing on different seasons, and is rumored to be VBL's next group of shows since the company has stated it wants to continue its formula from last year of releasing slightly connected shows. VBL/Vidol was behind Stay by My Side, VIP Only, You Are Mine, and Anti Reset. Winter is about a scrooge CEO and a florist who is hired to decorate for the CEO's Christmas event. Spring is about two boys meeting on a bus and falling in love over music. Summer is about a market owner and a chef falling in love over food. Autumn is about two former best friends seeing each other ten years after graduating and exploring their hometown together.

Connecting to You (Pre-Production?)

It seems to have gotten funding, but it's been quiet since which isn't surprising because when it comes to Taiwanese BLs, nothing is really heard until filming begins or even after it ends. I still have my hopes high because this is *THE* BL for me as it deals with a man who can see colored threads connecting people and one day runs into a policeman whose thread connects to him. The thread between them begins to change color, from silver-grey to yellow, representing friendship, and even to red, representing love. If I have to sell an organ or two to fund this myself, I. Will. Do. It. I NEED THIS!

And this wouldn't be a Petty Post if I didn't include this final one:

HIStory 15: Freed (GIVE IT TO ME!)

I don't care if this a long shot. I don't care if I seem crazy always asking for this. I. Deserve. It. HIStory 3: Trapped ended with our best mafia boy in prison, and it's time he got out! The HIStory franchise has not had a series since 2022's HIStory 5: Love in the Future, and although there have been rumors that a HERstory story might be next, I think bringing back a popular story would be just as good. I will ask for this every chance I can until I get it, and I plan on living a long life, so I got time!

Picking Signature Scents W/ 2H

For my lovelies who either want to find a signature scent, test out a new one or already has one in place and wants to see how true astro is... this is the post for you!

2H/Taurus rules over scents/smells.

2H stelliums tend to already have a signature scent or love scents, smells and are very particular. They aren't new to this at all, it's all 2nd nature!

Fixed 2H- Parfums. Noticeably strong. Deep. On the high end/limited edition side. Sticks to the same rotation. They keep a nice scent on them 24/7.

Mutable 2H-Ever changing. Their rotation changes often and they like to mix and match.

Cardinal 2H-Usually not the type to be too hell bent on fragrance. Changes based on mood or new direction in life. The midpoint between fixed and mutable.

___

2H ruler in the 1H-usually like scents that correspond with their personality/mood of that day. Usually, the type to have their signature scents picked out from young.

2H Virgo-very simple. They shouldn't do too much and have too complex of a scent profile. They keep the same few in rotation and rebuy when the stock is running low. Less is more here. A nice clean/fresh scent is recommended

2H Cancer-going for a scent you smelled a close female figure in your family is beneficial. Using scents/products from your childhood that gives you nostalgia. Baby fresh scents. Usually opts to go the more natural body scent route tho.

2H Taurus-scents that bring you a sense of warmth and comfort.

2H Gemini-mixing and matching. Layering. The type to go more with body sprays over parfums. Doesn't really have/need a signature.

2H Leo-something that is very bright and bold and catches over people's attention instantly. Usually pretty heavy handed with the spraying.

2H Libra-may adapt scents from their partner's overtime. Something airy and floral not necessarily sweet tho. Usually juggling between 2 main scents or wearing 2 at a time.

2H Scorpio-deeeppp, dark, passionate scents. Usually dark and sweet. Night out on the town. The kind of perfume that you smell and want to follow to see whom it leads to. A scent that invokes your curiosity. Opt for parfums and scents that last over body sprays. Keep ur signature scent on the low.

2H Sag- deep, rich scents. dark yet fruitful. When you venture outside of your signature scent palette, you find really good scents. Purchasing scents out of your "usual" area or type will bring success. For ex, getting perfume oils instead of a spray and you realized you hit the jackpot. Buying Arabic perfume or perfume out of ur country for the first time. Stepping outside of their norm.

2H Cap-usually more rigid. The first scent gifted to them by a guardian is usually the signature. Business casual scents. Similar to Virgo, simple, nothing too complicated. However, very rich.

2H Aqua-Scents that'll stick with you. Long lasting. Parfums. Scents that aren't popular. Limited edition. As long as you don't see everyone else in the same scents, go for it! You could also find urself wearing unpopular scents that become very popular in the future. As well as easily influencing others and getting them hooked on ur scent. Better luck at finding scents online opposed to in person.

2H Aries- usually very simple, even more simple than Virgo. On the one-dimensional scent plane. The ppl who don't put too much thought or effort into their scents becuz they simply don't have to.

2H suns/Venus-great scent profiles. Even when no one tells them, they are admiring their scent. They love smells and it's a huge part of what brings them comfort. Usually great at helping other pick out great scent profiles and such.

2H Mercury-usually has a changing scent profile or is well versed in high- and low-end scents

2H NN- scents is something that they should definitely get into!

2H Saturn-very hell bent on wearing a very specific scent all the time. It's been their signature for forever. Their scents last very long.

2H Pluto-expensive taste. Goes the dark, deep, fruitful route. Secretive about their scent (they should be). Perfumes tend to always smell different or smell sweeter/richer on them than others. Thier scent gives them a certain confidence to a degree. The type to get a perfume made specifically for them,

2H Moon-picks a scent based on mood so the profile can change often. simple and fresh is their style. light and airy. They are usually emotionally attached to their fragrances.

Bella asteroid in earth signs (mostly taurus and virgo) should lean towards warm, dark, vanilla and musk/sandalwood scents.

One of my most favorite posts I've done in a while! This excited my 2H stellium! Dm to book a reading with me! I'd love to do my first (well first paid) perfume/scent consultation! The first 5 to get one will be 15% OFF!

[jellyscats]

challengers characters and their signature scents;

⤹ tashi wears boy eau de parfum from chanel,a unisex perfume that leans extremely lavender heavy on the opening with a lemon and grapefruit undercurrent. it’s intoxicating enough to draw you in but has a dry quality that means you either love it or hate it,no one is really in between on boy or tashi duncan. it dries down soapy and powdery but not in a lactonic way,there something almost sterile about it,clean and a little cut throat (just like it’s insane price point)

⤹ clean,fresh and inoffensive,grey vetiver is a crowd favourite just like art.this isn’t a scent thats too loud,it clings to skin and honestly works so well in hot weather or on hot bodies. it’s icy lemon and grapefruit work with the sage and artemisia (get it?ARTemisia) to turn almost medicinal,like a french pharmacy.

⤹ cheap,sharp on the nose and obnoxious; sitting somewhere between juvenile and cheeky it’s a perfect scent profile and price for patrick zweig. perfect for throwing on before a match..maybe not for trying to woo ladies but im sure patrick’s charm will get him by. the patchouli,incense and pepper really fight with the grapefruit and lavender in this one and no ones really too sure who’s coming out on top.
