How to wear your fragrance.

Wearing a perfume
on your pulse points or where the body is naturally warmer will increase the reaction time of the perfume and the intensity. Perfume should be sprayed about 20cm from the body. This allows the perfume to become a mist and absorb into the skin better. Spraying too close to your body will prevent the perfume from drying naturally to release its various different notes and will have a stronger smell of alcohol at the start.
A few areas to wear your perfume:

Behind the knees
On the wrists
Behind the ears

A Mist of Fragrance

For a light overall scent, try spraying a few squirts into the air to screat a fragrance mist and walk through it. You will be showered with a lovely light mist of your fragrance. Brilliant for a hot day or after a bath when you don't want anything too heavy!

Don't Rub Your Fragrance In

One of the most common errors when wearing fragrance is to rub it in. This will cause the delicate notes of the fragrance to bruise together which will damage the top notes, this will make the fragrance smell different.

Off Out To A Special Event?

If your off to a special occasion you'll need your fragrance to last for the day, and why not treat yourself in the process?
To get the best out of your fragrance it is important to layer. Follow these steps to get the most out of your fragrance.

Start off by using the matching shower/bath gel.
Apply the matching body cream / body lotion while the body is still slightly damp.
Have a spritz of your Eau de toilette.
Then some of the stronger perfume on your pulse points.
This should make your fragrance last much longer on the skin and feel great all day!

Hair Mist

Some fragrances such as Chanel sell hair mists, however using an Eau de toilette can have the same effect.
The idea behing hair mist is to spray a light mist of fragrance into you hair, and the scent will be released throughout the day as you move.

Aftershave

Aftershaves and aftershave balms should be applied to the face and neck area. Men's EDT's should NOT be used on the face as they contain a higher percentage of alcohol and may cause stinging and redness.

How To Store A Fragrance

Fragrances should always be kept in cool places and out of direct sunlight and heat sources. Always try to keep your fragrances in their boxes and unopened until you need to use them.
The more alcohol a fragrance contains, the faster it will evapourate - aftershaves contain the most, and perfumes contain the smallest amount.
