There is no point in buying fine perfumes and colognes, even at a discount, if you do not know how to apply them. Typically, a fragrance will last six to eight hours. However, that can differ from person to person based on the condition of his/her skin. Fragrances tend to last longer on oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the scent, as small amounts are released throughout the day. People with very dry skin may want to use a fragrance-free moisturizer prior to applying their perfume or cologne to extend the life of their designer perfume. PH levels, or amount of acidity in our skin, also vary from person to person. Individual PH levels will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react with your body chemistry. That's why it is so important to find your signature scent!
Napoleon Bonaparte reportedly used eight quarts of violet cologne each month! While you may not use quite that much designer fragrance, it is important to apply your perfume at the right places so that it will last throughout the day. Fragrances react with heat so apply your cologne to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. As you wear your perfume throughout the day, it will continue to emit your signature scent because the blood vessels closest to the skin give off heat and act like mini scent diffusers. Do not rub your wrist together, as this will crush the scent. Make sure to apply perfume not just to your neck; apply your fragrance from bottom to top, spraying at the ankles (yes, the ankles!) to allow the scent to rise and conquer, as your perfume scent won't be lost as quickly.
Oh, and don't forget to apply behind your ears - another lovely pulse point! Ladies, you can wear a small cotton ball infused with your favorite womens perfume inside your bra for a long lasting scented impression. A light spray of your favorite eau de parfum on the hair can go a long way. Another method for application is spraying your womens and mens fragrances into the air and walking into it, which helps to distribute the scent over your entire body. A common tool for remembering where to apply perfume is a famous tip by Coco Chanel -- apply a fragrance in places you want to be kissed!
One way to ensure that your scent lasts through the day is to layer fragrance products. Many fragrance manufacturers offer fragrance gift sets that contain a perfume or cologne in a variety of forms including soaps, lotions, shower gels, bath powders, deodorants and aftershaves. Start off with a shower gel or bubble bath, then apply body lotion in the same scent and finish it off with a spray of the cologne or perfume. As you wear your fragrance, you'll continue to smell sweet from morning to night!
