Most of us enjoy a whiff of a delicious perfume, either on ourselves or on somebody else. Instead of buying just any perfume for an anniversary, why not get one that directly has something to do with the theme of the celebrated anniversary? There are infinite amounts of options out there, so you do have to know about your partner's preferences. If a woman like musky notes, don't bring home a fruity perfume! To play it safe, I would recommend that you buy the smallest size possible, so it's not that much of a loss if he or she doesn't like it (and people sometimes have adverse reactions to certain scents). Plus that way, he or she will have used it up by the next anniversary and you can go out and buy more!
Anniversary 1 is Paper: We start out pretty lame, since I could not find any perfume that contained the word "paper" in it. But, there are cards with perfumed inserts, which might be most appropriate for women.
Anniversary 2 is Cotton and we have a few more options here. Cotton is associated with the scent of freshly washed linen, so most of the perfumes have a lighter note. For a woman get Cotton Splash Perfume by Marc Jacobs, White Linen Breeze by Estee Lauder or Crisp Cotton Perfume Oil sold in The Body Shop. For men there are not that many options; you could go with Cotton Candy Perfume by Demeter for men and women, or Lucky You by Liz Claiborne, since one of its ingredients is Cotton flower.
What Anniversary Means
Anniversary is a Latin word, which originated from the word anniversarius, which means turning yearly. This word has been a part of English language since the year 1230 and is a day known to celebrate the past events that took place on the same date, day and year. The word anniversary was used first for the Christian feasts to honor the saints. The most common type of anniversaries includes the birthdays and the wedding anniversaries. Both these events are celebrated to share the happiness and love.
The custom of giving gifts on wedding anniversary started in Central Europe. During the medieval times, it was a practice seen in Germans that the friends used to present the wife with a garland of silver when she had been with her husband for 25 years. The silver represented the harmony in a relationship that made it possible for such a long time. This custom carried on to the modern times where the husband and wife both present each other with silver rings or silver ornaments and gold rings or gold ornaments on the 25th and 50th year of the anniversary.
