The perfume industry is a ten billion dollar industry with new perfumes being added every year. More than 150 perfumes were added to the American market alone in 2007. Famous designers including Tommy Hilfiger, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Estee Lauder and Christian Dior entering the scene, there's a lot to choose from. Besides perfumes, they have also extended the fragrance to companion products like body lotions and bath gels.

Women's Fragrances can be divided as Eau De Perfumes, Eau De Toilettes and Eau Fraiche. The former is the most pure form of perfume, as it contains the highest level of alcohol water. These fragrances are often the most expensive. Eau de Toilettes have a lower level of alcohol water and come in spray bottles. They are reasonably priced and appeal to women of all age groups. Eau Fraiche is free of alcohol water and is best suited for warmer climates.

Signature perfumes are a big hit among today. Movie stars and famous celebrities have coordinated with perfume designers and lent their name to certain fragrances, making them their signature fragrances. These include the likes of Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Brittney Spears, Kate Wins let and many more.

There are different combinations of notes used in women's Fragrances. Some are sweet, some sultry, fruity-floral or musky. The idea is to own one that has a contemporary smell and reflects modern tastes. Perfumes are applied to pulse points on your body, and oftentimes react differently with different body temperatures. So if something smells great on one person, doesn't mean it would smell exactly the same on another.

When choosing a perfume, presentation matters as much as the fragrance. You wouldn't want to own a great smelling perfume in a dull looking bottle. Keeping this in mind, all perfume designers are improvising and coming up with unique shapes of perfume bottles that are extremely attractive. Some bottles even include charms or small giveaway gifts with the perfume.

The downside of the immense popularity of women's fragrances is that many fakes have come up, which can cause harm to the skin. Choose a renowned vendor when you buy women's Perfumes. Many online portals offer discount women's perfumes from designers all over the world.
