Many teenagers and young adults dream of someday becoming famous fashion designers. Maybe that was dream that you once had and for one reason or another decided to follow another career path. If you have always had that dream and find yourself interested in starting your own business, you should consider designing custom made costumes.


Right about now you may be thinking that you wanted to design trendy fashion clothing; however, there is actually really good money in costume design. Think about costumes that you come across in the store during Halloween, they are not priced cheap. What about after Halloween? Most retail stores put up the costumes until next season. Many people assume that costumes are only for Halloween. In reality costumes are needed for parades, musicals, plays, dances, and many other special events. Many schools look towards local designers to make costumes for musicals or plays.




If you decide to peruse your own costume making business, the majority of your time will be spent working out of your home. If you are planning on making your costumes for a specific size, you made need to travel to another location for fittings. If you are unable to travel, you may wish to set up a fitting room area in your home or place of business. If you have an interest in design, then you probably have most of the needed essentials to start a business. In addition to the sewing materials, you should think about getting a business phone line with an answering machine. A computer is another important tool. A computer can help you keep track of your clients and their needs. There are also many different design programs that can help you produce costumes and the internet is full of resources.




To get your business off the ground, you will need to find clients. Your best target market will be theatre groups. You can specifically visit them or send them a brochure or business card that you have made. It may be a good idea to have a couple of samples, actual costumes or pictures, to show potential clients. There is a woman in my town who has her own custom business, this summer she dressed herself and other community members in costumes that she made. There was a parade and everyone marched and handed out fliers advertising her business. In addition to parades, you can target other community events. You may also want to hang business flyers on local community bulletin boards and advertise your business in local papers.




Once your business gets up and running, you should consider making a company web page. Although many costume makers prefer working with local clients, there are some who take orders from across the country. Having a company website will allow people to view your work and place orders. The downside to this is that you will have to have someone else take measurements for you and you should ensure that this person correctly knows how to do so.




One of the first things that people like to know before they start a business is how much money they can be expected to make. With a costume business this actually depends on how much time and energy you plan on committing to this project. Most costume designers charge based on the type of costume being made. You will need to take into consideration how much materials will cost and your labor. There are some costume designers who will sell costumes for as low as fifty dollars; however, some costumes can sell for more than two thousand dollars.




As with any business, there will generally be a period where business will slow down for a period of time. If your business has locally slowed down, this would be a good opportunity to focus on obtaining new clients through your web page. If your business has become a success you may want to expand it into costume rentals. During your downtime, you could make general costumes for children or adults. There are some people or groups who will not be interested in purchasing a costume if it will only be used once. A few costumes that might make good rentals could be Mrs. Claus, Santa, or the Easter Bunny.




To have a successful costume design business, you will need to have a flair for design and be able to sew. You will also need to have an outgoing personality, this will help you when approaching new clients. Many larger and successful costume businesses are located near large cities; however, many costume designers who know how to obtain clients can easily bring in around $50,000 a year. Although designing costumes may not exactly be what you had in mind, this experience could also help you on your way to a career in other fashions.

Fishing at dawn on the Perfume River by NaPix -- Hmong Soul



Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab produces perfume oils unlike anything else on the market. Aiming for a "dark, romantic Gothic tone" the Alchemy Lab carries scents inspired by religions, literature, cities of the world, fairy tales and inside jokes. The general catalog contains hundreds of different perfumes, and limited edition scents are frequently provided. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is referred to as BPAL or the Lab by customers. These perfumes are unlike any other commercially produced scents.

The sheer volume can be overwhelming for a new customer. Fortunately BPAL offers Imp's Ears, samples of most general catalog scents. Samples are not available for limited editions and a few general catalog scents. Imps are standard 1/32oz perfume vials. They are $3 individually, and $16 for a half dozen. BPAL oils are packaged in small glass bottles with screw tops. These bottles are usually cobalt blue, though sometimes amber bottles are used. General catalog scents have simple black and white labels, but the limited edition labels are often elaborate and colorful. 5ml and 10ml bottles of scents cost from $12.50 to $25. Considering the perfume oil content of each blend is 85 to 100%, these prices make BPAL one of the most affordable perfume lines around. BPAL oils are 85 to 100% perfume oil, as compared to straight perfume (15-25%), eaudeparfum (8-15%) or eaude cologne (2-5%). No animal products are used in any BPAL fragrances. Elements such as civet are composites created from carefully mixed bouquets.

The general catalog is broken down into the following categories: Bewitching Brews, Funeral Oils, Dark Elements, Sin & Salvation, Love potions, Diabolus, Mad Tea Party, Illyria, Wanderlust, ArsDraconis, Rappaccini's Garden, The Salon, Excolo, Voodoo Blends, Tarot Oils, Sephiroth, The Chakras, Panacea, and Somnium. Some categories, such as the Tarot and Chakras are straightforward. ArsDraconis includes several scents using dragon's blood as a base. Illyria contains scents inspired by Shakespeare, and Mad Tea Party is a line influenced by Lewis Carroll's work. Wanderlust showcases perfumes named for cities and places both real and legendary. Many scents in the catalog are inspired by famous and obscure works of fiction or art. Dorian is a hugely popular scent named after Wilde's famous dandy. There's a scent named for Wilde as well. Many scents reference poetry, legends and religious myth. There are scents for gluttony, wrath, envy, sloth, greed, lust and pride in the Sin & Salvation category. It is often surprising to experience how well the perfumes suit their names and descriptions.

Limited edition scents are usually just placed in the Limited category. BPAL has a limited edition series titled "A Little Lunacy" that appears each month on the full moon. Lunacy scents are created around various names for full moons, such as Harvest Moon, Flower Moon, Snow Moon, Hungry Ghost Moon, and Honey Moon. Lunacy scents are only available for 24 hours on the day of the full moon. Other limited scents are often created for the season, such as the Halloween and Yule creations. Sometimes the Lab creates an entire line of limited edition scents available for a few months at a time. One of the first was Springtime in Arkham, a tribute to HP Lovecraft. The second was CarnavalNoir, an intriguing line of scents inspired by a suggestion regarding summer carnival food on the customer forum. one of BPAL's most popular scents ever was Midway, a sugary tribute to fried and sweet foods. Other limited edition lines A Demon in My View and Maelstrom. These limited edition lines allowed the Lab to create complex olfactory tributes to Edgar Allen Poe's short stories and poems.

An enormously popular limited edition offering was Chaos Theory. Each bottle of Chaos Theory was unique and untitled except for a roman numeral. Every single bottle was a different blend. The only rule to the edition was that there was no way to choose which bottle arrived. Chaos Theory was so popular it is now in its third round. in the third round, oils containing common allergens such as nuts were removed so that no bottles would cause any unexpected reactions.

Because scents are not transmitted through the internet, the BPAL customer forum is an essential tool for a shopper when selecting a scent. Most perfumes have a brief description o the major notes or inspiration for the oil. Because BPAL oils are mostly perfume oil and complex, they often react in different ways to the skin chemistry of different people. What smells like a bounty of lily and musk to one person may turn plastic and sour on another. The forum contains reviews written by customers about the oils. It is an excellent resource to use while learning which scents work best with one's personal preferences and body chemistry. Customers of the Lab learn to train a discriminating nose, and many reviews are elaborate affairs with complex analysis of the stages of the perfumes.

When BPAL scents don't work out, there is a lively secondhand market for imps and bottles. The customer forum has a subsection devoted to swapping and selling scents that just didn't work out. this softens the blow for any customer disappointed with their purchase, as it is quite easy to trade and sell on the forum. Moderators make an effort to address any issues with members who don't follow through with swaps, a practice known as "swap-lifting." There are also limits on the forum to prevent the prices of discontinued oils from spiking too high. eBay is another source for secondhand BPAL scents, with more freedom for pricing. However bidding wars for discontinued or limited edition scents can push the price up dramatically.

The Black Phoenix Trading Post (BPTP) is also affiliated with the Lab. Here one finds shirts, scent lockets and statues inspired by and for BPAL. Each month the Trading Post offers a shirt to correspond with the Lunacy update. Unlike the Lunacy blends, BPTP shirts usually stay up for sale for one week. There are several regular catalog shirts, as well as several heavy silver scent lockets designed by the Lab. BPTP plans to continue expanding their offerings over the coming year. Orders for BPTP products cannot be combined with orders from BPAL because they are separate entities.

BPAL is a small business, and has experienced a number of growing pains over the past few years. The wait time for shipments climbed dramatically, sometimes topping out at six to eight weeks. In 2006, shipping times have shortened and are now only a few weeks. On the customer forum, one of the most heavily trafficked threads chronicles the shipping notices received by customers. The Lab prides itself on excellent customer service and works quickly correct any problems. Because they are a small business, Lab staff have an unusually personal and friendly relationship with large chunks of their fan base. Lab staff are frequent contributors to the customer forum. Some offhand jokes in the forum have mushroomed into inspiration for BPAL blends, most notably the CarnavalNoir line in 2005, and the limited edition Enraged Orangutan Musk.

For scents to compliment lifestyles from the gothic to the geeky, the Black Phoenix Alchemy lab supplies quality perfumes. Few other companies can provide such nuanced and beautiful creations for such an inexpensive price. With a reasonable price for samples and an active secondhand market, it is easy to become hooked on BPAL oils.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: Introduction

The Britney Spears Curious perfume hit store shelves in 2004 and was marketed by a very sensual commercial in which Britney Spears had starred in. The commercial depicted Ms. Britney Spears fantasizing about a man in the next room. The commercial hyped up the perfume so much that women all over rushed to store shelves to buy the Britney Spears Curious fragrance. With all the hype surrounding the commercial, is the Britney Spears Curious perfume appropriate for all women of age?

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: The Product & Packaging

The Britney Spears Curious fragrance comes in a package that is a black box decorated with metallic blue and pink flowers all over. The fragrance bottle itself is of turquoise color and made of glass. The bottle is very elegant and that it can be compared to antique perfume containers. The perfume bottle is odd shaped, almost like of a spaceship. Pink removable heart charms are added around the spray top of the Britney Spears Curious fragrance. All fragrance bottles are equipped with a silver push down spray top; however, larger sizes of the perfume can purchase an attachment that you squeeze a bulb to make the fragrance dispense such as how antique perfumes used to be. Gift sets for the Britney Spears Curious perfume are available as well as numerous sizes of the perfume. Fragrance sizes vary and mostly consist of 3.4 ounces and 1.7 ounces. The Curious scent line also has a Britney Spears Curious Perfume Body Soufflé and shower gel that are perfect for layering the fragrance.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: The Fragrance

According to the advertisements of the Britney Spears Curious perfume, the fragrance can be described as sensual and romantic. The perfume is created by using Louisiana magnolia flowers, vanilla, musk, golden Anjou pear, and dewy lotus flowers. The perfume is on the lightweight in terms of powerfulness. Thus, the scent wears off rather quickly and must be reapplied within several hours. The Britney Spears Curious perfume is appropriate for all women of age. The scent is neither too trendy or overbearing.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: Conclusion

The Britney Spears Curious perfume is widely distributed in most retail outlets such as: Wal-Mart, Macys, Dillards, and numerous other vendors. The fragrance can also be found online at discount prices. A 3.4 ounce bottle of the Curious perfume will cost between $40 to $50. The fragrance is one of those perfumes that a consumer will either love or hate. I would recommend buying a smaller version of the Britney Spears Curious perfume and trying the scent out for a week until investing in a larger bottle of the perfume.

Perfume Spray by kazeeee



The cost of perfume is so astronomically high that many people do not realize how inexpensive perfume can be to make, particularly if you're making several blends. For other people, finding the ideal perfume that doesn't irritate the nose can be a challenge. Making your own perfume at home can be an easy way to make the perfect blend, put it in a beautiful bottle, and get the whole thing cheaper than at a department store. Here's how to do it:

Choose Your Scent
Perfume can be made from either perfume oil or essential oil. Essential oil is extracted directly from the source and contains oils from plants and flowers. It tends to be expensive because it is extracted directly from the source but is generally higher quality and has a stronger scent than perfume or fragrance oils. Conversely, fragrance or perfume oils are highly concentrated blends of scents. Simply put, the perfume is already made for you in an oil form and all you have to do is put it into a carrier. If you're concerned about your ability to get the fragrance just right, perfume and fragrance oils may be a better choice. If you're looking for a very specific scent, though, or are interested in experimenting with different scents, essential oil is likely the best choice. In either case, you can find discount oils on this site and a quick internet search will yield you many other excellent supplier choices.

Experiment with Combinations
The next step is to decide how you want to combine the fragrances. A single note fragrance is one that contains only one scent, like grapefruit, lilac, etc. Most perfumes have multiple notes. Florals often combine different flowers with citrus for example. Try combining your fragrance oils with a dropper in various combinations and when you find something you like, you've found the concentration of oils you want.

Mix Your Perfume
Oils need to be mixed with a carrier that dilutes them. Otherwise they will be too strong and can cause skin problems. Body mists typically mix perfume oils and water. Perfume mixes oils with some kind of alcohol. Perfumer's alcohol is the best choice and can be bought very inexpensively online. Pure grain alcohol can also be used, as well as vodka or even rubbing alcohol. Make sure to smell the combination of oil and alcohol to make sure the scent of alcohol is not overpowering. When making perfume, you will need to experiment with different concentrations of oil. More oil equals a stronger, longer lasting perfume. Never make your perfume more than 30% fragrance oil or it can be toxic and too strong. Most perfumes use only 3-5% but you may want a stronger perfume.

Wait
After you have mixed oil and carrier, you will need to wait for the fragrances to combine together. Most experts recommend waiting six weeks, though waiting only a few days can be adequate time in most cases. Keep your fragrance sealed and in a dark area while waiting, and check it regularly to see if it smells right. When the scent begins to smell like a perfume you want to wear, you're done. All you have to do now is find a pretty perfume bottle and enjoy the lovely smell around you!

Julian Rouas Paris


heady perfume of January by Vol-au-Vent



Delices de Cartier reminds me of cherry pop. When I received a sample of this perfume, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the strongest scent of the fragrance was fresh cherry. This is only the second perfume that I've ever tried that smelled like cherries. The other one was a body spray from Bath and Body Works. The Delices de Cartier is much richer, and in addition to the cherry scent, it has other scents that compliment it. This perfume is very fruity and flower without being too sweet or over bearing.

I was curious to see what other fragrances the Delices de Cartier, so I searched it on Sephora.com to see if they listed the scents. Sure enough, I found that Delices de Cartier has essences of iced cherry, jasmine, pink pepper, freesia, amber, tonka bean, (tonka bean?), bergamot, musk and sandalwood. I love how the fruitiness and sweetness combine with the woodsy hints of sandalwood and musk. The main scents that jump out at me are the cherry, of course, freesia and sandalwood.

I was trying to conserve my sample of Delices de Cartier because I liked it so much, so I was using very wisely and sparingly. I was hoping that the small amounts that I was using would make my sample last for a while. I wore this perfume when I went to a wedding shower. My aunt told me that she loved how it smelled. She was surprised when I told her that I was wearing a perfume by Cartier. She remembers Cartier perfume as smelling very woodsy and rich and not sweet and fruity like the Delices de Cartier smelled.

I reminded her that this was a more contemporary Cartier and maybe geared toward a more youthful customer base. Even though this fragrance is fruity and sweet, I feel that it is appropriate for all age groups, even very mature wearers. Delices de Cartier perfume in my opinion is acceptable to wear during the day or at night. For as light and sweet as it is, it does have staying power. It doesn't fade or change how it smells after I've had it on for a while. This unique perfume stays true to it's original scent all day and I feel it compliments my individual body chemistry.

I would definitely purchase Delices de Cartier perfume when I finish with the sample. In my opinion, I think it is a very versatile perfume that can be worn for any occasion and by any age group. Cartier has been around for years and years and to me, remains very popular with fragrance consumers both young and mature.
