Dive Into How Blue Fragrances Make Waves in Scent Design
Blue fragrances are unique in the world of fine perfume because their particular qualities fuse both a color with its own symbolism and a distinct scent perspective.
While technically not a fragrance category and more exactly a subset of sea odors, master perfumers rely on their scents to conjure, as if by a magical hand, mental images and feelings about the sea and sky.
Their blue shades fall between cyan and azure, and their symbolism is steeped in the concepts of peace, freedom and harmony that are sourced by the endless panorama of the sky merging with the ocean.
Scents for the everyday man, blue fragrances possess a gentlemanly character. They have a heavy focus on fresh and clean elements, and are ideal summer scents inspired by aquatic notes that replicate the cool and invigorating sensations of the sea.
These facets are found in marine accords such as: salt, sea water and sea breezes.
Citrus elements, as well as mellow lavender and herbs, are sometimes added to evoke feelings of lightness and vitality.

Spare Parts in Uganda from around the World
As Christine cut through a Jackfruit from a tree outside her mother’s home, I couldn’t help thinking about spare parts. I had just interviewed Christine following the completion of her Kiva loan to expand her automotive spare parts store in Uganda, and something about the concept of spare parts kept firing away in the back of my mind. As she showed me how to eat the enormous fruit, by cutting away smaller pieces and pulling out the seeds, I realized spare parts are the fuel that makes Kiva run. Kiva allows people from all over the world to utilize their spare parts to profoundly impact someone else’s life.
Large numbers of people taking the initiative to spare relatively smalls sums of money for a period of time is what makes stories like Christine’s possible. The loan helped her expand her business with the increased profits going towards the completion of her education. Degree in hand, she then added a new stream of income by becoming a teacher. When I asked her what her goals were for the future she said she wanted to continue her education so that she could become a very important person. Her drive was both inspiring and impressive and thanks to the collective efforts of spare parts from around the world it’s that much more real. Have $25 to spare? You might just change someone’s life. For more borrowers like Christine visit Kiva.org and search for BRAC Uganda.
