1.How flavors can influence on results of work.

I chose this topic because perfume is an integral part in people's lives. And I         think it would be useful for everyone to learn more about smells and perfumes.

The value of smell in a person’s life cannot be overestimated. Its range of possibilities is very wide. It extends from a protective, biological function to psychological and emotional impressions that play an important role in the general well-being of people.

The influence of smells also interested in the business industry. It has been proven that labor productivity increases when workers are in a room with fragrant odors. There are examples of some Japanese companies that are successfully using this method today. They simply release some flavors into the building's air-conditioning system so that each person can smell this or that smell at his workplace. One construction company even uses a computer system so that smells can be distributed to all buildings.

In Sumitsu, more than two dozen phytocompositions have been created - plant and flower aromas that contribute to improving the quality of work of typists and programmers. As a result, programmers began to make mistakes less frequently: when inhaling the smell of lavender by 20%, lemon by 54%, jasmine by 3%.

1. In addition, it has been experimentally established that inhalation of the smell of eucalyptus, lemon, musk increases performance, contributes to mental work, has a stimulating effect on the nervous system, removes the feeling of fatigue.
2. Rosemary stimulates memory, improves the process of knowledge.

5. Inhalation of pyridine, bergamot oil, toluene - all this increases the visual acuity of a person in twilight conditions.
6. The smells of camphor and bergamot oil make our eyes more susceptible to green, in addition, they reduce the perception of red.
7. The field of view for green objects is enhanced by the aroma of rosemary, for red objects it is narrowed.

With the skillful use of aromas, aromatherapy allows you to get rid of even those emotions that are hidden deep. This is especially important for those diseases whose cause is emotions that have been suppressed for years. It is necessary to release them and immediately begins recovery.

3.Are these substances dangerous?

However, there are such smells that can be detrimental to human life. These are various perfumes, aerosols, sprays and powders. All of these substances are dangerous, as they are made from chemicals that cause various diseases.

Abuse of your favorite perfume, not suitable for your skin, can result in dermatitis, rashes, urticaria, eczema - and this is not a list of the most serious consequences.

Currently, many people use perfume instead of various essential oils. Each person chooses for himself  his own fragrance, suitable only to him. With the help of a properly selected aroma, you can focus on your individuality, demonstrate refined style and emphasize your own image.

4. What is perfume?

I wondered: " What is perfume? " And, reading articles on the Internet, I found some information.

Perfume - perfumery, perfumery (flavoring) means; alcoholic or alcoholic solutions of fragrant mixtures - perfume compositions and tinctures.

The first mention of such art as perfumery refers to 2900 BC. and find them in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians made flavors part of their culture. They rubbed the body with oils and ointments with the smell of cinnamon or honey. Moreover, such cosmetics were so expensive that they could only allow themselves to know.

New impetus to the development of perfumery occurred in the XIX century due to the development of chemistry. Smells become even more diverse. The demand for perfume has increased. The production of raw materials for perfumes began to develop rapidly. World famous perfumers began to appear. At first they were mostly French. It was the French who founded the first factory for the production of perfumes in Russia. This factory, which later became one of the largest in the world, was named “New Dawn” [11].

One of the "fathers" of modern perfume can be considered Francois Coty. He had the idea to sell perfumes in beautiful bottles, and not in simple pharmaceutical bottles. He first began to combine natural odors with artificial ones. So, in 1917, the fragrance “Chypre” was made (well-known in Russia, and in our “Egret” cologne), which brought Koti world fame.

Now there are a lot of spirits, but there are also brands that have not yielded to their positions for several years in a row.

Fragrance industries are always searching for the next big scent that will attract women and many of them have come up with amazing fragrances that are sure to intrigue. The average perfume scents are pricey, and then, the high end perfumes can run into the thousands per bottle. It depends on how pure and exotic you want your perfume, what company designed and created the fragrance, as well as what kind of bottle they used to hold the perfume. These all factor into what you will likely spend on your favorite high-end scent. Some of the most expensive perfumes in the world are hundreds to thousands of dollars per ounce, and here are the 10 most expensive perfumes available world wide, today.

5. 10 most expensive perfumes.

1. This is a fragrance that was introduced back in 1981 and it is a woman’s fragrance that boasts of a blend of ylang ylang, basil, sweet and herbal, along with splashes of citrus.

There were no fewer than 10,000 jasmine flowers along with 28 dozen roses that were used for just one ounce of this revolutionary parfume. 
4. In the effort to celebrate 50 years of creating fragrances, Caron created Caron Poivre, which is just another masterpiece of a handcrafted bottle that holds an explosive scent; one that is still considered to be one of the most unique scents on the market today.

10.  The famous designer, DKNY teamed up with the famous jewelry designer, Martin Katz to design and create the most elegant, and expensive perfume ever. This is a total, one of a kind that has been designed and it costs a pretty penny.

                                               6.Conclusion.

Flavors are important for us not only in terms of health. Emotional and aesthetic values are equally important. Favorite aromas elevate mood, make us happier, help to feel the other person better. Currently, there are a lot of different spirits, which contain the most amazing combinations of scents: toning, relaxing and even therapeutic.

Consider the time and place where you are going. Those spirits that you use, going to a restaurant in the evening, in no way suitable for a business meeting during the day.

And remember others: do not "bathe" in the perfume. Even the most expensive perfume can be unbearable for people who are close to you.

                                       7. Practical activities.

Working on the theme of the project, and having a public survey, I came to the conclusion that most people believe that perfume really helps them to improve their mood, to feel more confident and to be at their best. The hypothesis put forward by me before the start of work is fully proved.
