Hygieia Health

Health is a precious thing, and the only one, in truth, which deserves that we employ in its pursuit not only time, sweat trouble and wordly goods, but even life....As far as I am concerned, no road that would lead us to health is either arduous or expensive. -Michel de Montaigne

And... perhaps because we are getting more health conscious and perfumes can be poisonous!!!
Like red roses and heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, perfume has traditionally been one of the fail-safe offerings of Valentine’s Day. But this year, as couples sit down to romantic dinners, a small but growing cohort of American women will emit scents that are more corporal and less Chanel. At a time when the number of perfumes on shelves has dramatically increased, consumption of fragrances is declining, industry analysts said. Last year, department stores carried 1,160 different fragrances for women compared with 756 in 2002, according to NPD Group, a market research firm that tracks consumer product sales.
