How to use perfume?

The golden rule of using perfume is: do not use the perfume too much.

Apply the perfume where you can feel the pulse,  so apply to your wrist, neck, middle of your breasts, back of  your ears, even back side of elbow and knees, leg wrist and the calf of the leg. These sides are warmer because your blood is close to the up side of your skin and this makes the perfume to spread around better.

Coco Chanel says that ” Apply the perfume from where you want to be kissed. It is worth to pay attention……….

Spray the perfume faraway from 30 cm. The other method which is suggested by Estee Lauder is to spray the perfume on the air and pass through the perfume cloud.

You can also spray a little perfume on your hair brush before brushing your hair.

But do not spray the perfume on clothes. The oil inside the perfume can leave a stain especially on the silky cloths which are fragile. Use the perfume only on the body from where smell can comes out. The better way is to use the perfume before getting dressed.

Eau de toilette lasts about 4 hours and eau de perfume lasts about 8 hours one the body.

Perfumes are less long lasting on dry and light colour skins. . Thats why, they need to be refresh often and be used together with by-product on dry skins.

Do not apply the perfume by finger from the bottle. The oil of your skin can get inside the bottle and can cause the odour of the perfume to be spoiled.

How to keep perfume?

Keep your perfume from the heat and light as it  spoils the colour and odour of the perfume.

The cap has to be placed tightly after using the perfume and the bottle should be kept in the package to protect from the light.

Some people keep the perfume in the fridge but this  can damage the balance of the perfume and also can make difference on odour. Generally the bedrooms are suitable places for perfumes.
