Doing your homework can help reduce first-meeting-nerves. If you’re meeting a potential customer, try Googling their name or looking them up on Facebook beforehand. This will help you prepare some topics for conversation and to identify interests you may have in common – a great starting point for an impressionable first encounter.

DRESS TO IMPRESS

Make sure you dress to suit the occasion. Check to see if there’s a dress code to avoid looking over- or underdressed. And, wear clothes that you feel comfortable in – shoes that make you wince will only distract you!

SMELL YOUR BEST

The sense of smell is closely linked with memory, so if you want to be unforgettable (for the right reasons!), select your scent carefully. For a first meeting, choose something subtle that won’t overpower and apply it sparingly. We love Women’s Collection Innocent White Lilac for their delicate aromas.

ARRIVE ON TIME

Being punctual demonstrates that you are respectful of someone else’s time, so get to that first meeting at the prearranged hour!
BE ENGAGED

Instead of starting a conversation by talking about yourself, focus on asking questions – you should have some prepared in advance. Make eye contact, avoid interrupting and offer encouragement by nodding your head. These small gestures will show that you’re engaged in the conversation.
BODY LANGUAGE

Your body language says a lot about you. In fact, research suggests that as much as 90% of all communication is done nonverbally. Make sure you stand or sit up straight, greet with a firm handshake and maintain eye contact while speaking with others – and don’t forget to smile! You want to convey a relaxed confidence.

STAY CALM

Wearing the right scent can help you relax before a first meeting. Lavender, geranium rose, bergamot, ylang ylang and jasmine are known to sooth and calm nerves; they’re also found in some of Oriflame’s most loved perfumes!

BE PRESENT

There’s nothing worse than speaking to somebody who keeps glancing at their phone, or looking over your shoulder – it implies they’d rather be elsewhere. Turn your phone off (or on silent) and give your company your full attention.

Possess Eau de Parfum

Timeless, sparkling yet intensely seductive, Possess Eau de Parfum embodies the provocative allure of Cleopatra, whose legendary powers of seduction brought Mark Antony to his knees. Laced with intoxicatingly tempting notes of ylang ylang, this sexy, luminous fragrance leaves no one indifferent as it casts a hypnotic spell of attraction.

The Making Of Essenza

How do you create a truly unique scent? We speak to Fabrice Pellegrin, the creator of Giordani Gold’s newly launched perfume, Essenza, to find out.
Fragrance is in Fabrice Pellegrin’s blood. He inherited this passion from his father, who was also a perfumer. He grew up in France completing his schooling at the acclaimed “House of Robertet” before joining fragrance group Mane and later HERMÈS. Pellegrin proceeded to create world famous fragrances for the likes of Thierry Mugler, Diptyque, Giorgio Armani and, of course, Oriflame.
His most recent creation is Giordani Gold Essenza, a perfume that he says, “smells like sunshine and happiness”.

"And in the development, we realised that at some point we’d managed to introduce this sublime orange blossom quality... That's the magic of perfume..”

Inspired by Italy, the fragrance captures the smell of the native orange blossom, a delicate flower with a sublime scent. But extracting the note was by no means easy:
The note was a co-extraction of the orange blossom, and its development was a long process, Pellegrin explains. Once a week, my technicians and I were in front of the machinesto set the correct temperature and pressure so we could bring out the prettiest part of the orange blossom.”

The technique that Pellegrin and his team adopted is a highly complex one; so complex in fact, that it’s normally only practiced by the highest-end perfumeries.

"This note will never be used in any other fragrance than Giordani Gold Essenza."

Creating a perfume is a lengthy process that requires craftsmanship. Perfecting the orange blossom scent alone took several months. Although the orange blossom sits at the heart of the perfume, it’s peppered with top notes of citrus, and bergamot, and pays further homage to Italy with base notes of Tuscan wood.

But, it is the discovery of the orange blossom that Pellegrin describes as “the magic of perfume.” So magical, that this accord will only ever be used in Essenza.

Party Essentials: 5 Make-up Must-HavesN BY ORIFLAME

Party Essentials: 5 Make-up Must-Haves

Party season is upon us! Up the glamour stakes with the make-up products guaranteed to wow!

1- Red Lipstick
No other colour has the same impact that red has. But you have to work to find the perfect shade – it’s all about your skin tone.
Tip: When lining your lips, skip the red pencil and enhance your pout with a nude lip pencil like Giordani Gold Lip Pencil – Nude.

2- Concealer
Concealers are the most indispensable products of our make-up routines. Apply a concealer and take your make-up game to a whole new level!
Tip: Draw two “C” shapes in the corners of your eyes with Giordani Gold Secret Concealer and using your brush, tap to blend – never rub! This will make your party make-up pop.

3- Foundation
Feeling party-ready is all about having perfect, dewy-looking skin.
Tip: To create a luminous finish, use a lightweight foundation with medium coverage such as The ONE Illuskin Aquaboost Foundation and apply a cream highlighter like Giordani Gold Radiant Complexion Cream Stick on your cheekbones.

4- Lip Balm
Put a bit of lip balm on before applying your make-up, so your lipstick takes better and stays longer. Our winter favourite: The ONE Lip Spa Intense Lip Balm

5- Something Metallic
Metallic make-up can flatter everyone as long as it’s applied correctly. Give your make-up a full-on party feel with a sprinkle of sparkle.
Tip: Add a hint of The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eye Shadow to the centre of your lids. It will make your eyes look bigger and brighter.

Bonus: Perfume
Find a scent that warms on your skin and evolves throughout the night. If you want something exuberant, check out: Miss Giordani Intense
