There is nothing better than a bottle of perfume or cologne for holiday gifting. When we smell a certain fragrance we instantly connect that smell to a portion of our memory. Certain smells will awaken emotions and memories that are very meaningful to us and even sometimes we forget we had. “Perfume is the key to our memories” said Kate Lord Brown, fragrance expert.
Perfume dates all the way back to the Egyptians. They would use scents for all different types of ceremonies. The Egyptian high society used perfume with the aroma of the flower lily to signify their rank. They would also use it as a body fragrance everyday which is something most people still do as part of their daily routines.
Perfume really became popular in the 17th century, especially in France. Farming of flowers for the use of perfume scents started in the south of France in the town of Grasse. The town of Grasse is known as the world capital of perfume. France has been the top country for the export of perfume, with $4.8 billion.

Black orchids are known to be mysterious flowers that have magical powers. The word orchid comes from the Greek word “orchis” which means testicle; the flower was originally named this because it has a root that has a bulbous shape that looks similar to a testicle. This shape is known to symbolize masculinity. Coelogyne pandurata is the blackest of all orchids.
