How to Wear Perfume

Perfume is a fragrance accent and not an aroma mask. The scent of woman's perfume should be subtle and pleasing. Perfume is a very personal statement. Catching a whiff of a woman's perfume should turn heads and bring smiles to faces. Perfume should be applied in just the right places for proper effect.

Instructions

1. Apply perfume to the pulse points of the wrists and throat. A couple of spritzes from about 6 inches away should moisten the skin slightly. Do not over-apply thinking that the scent should stay strong all day long. Subtly is the key to proper application.

2. Restrain from spraying more perfume periodically throughout the day. The nose becomes desensitized to fragrances and an individual will not be able to smell their own scent while others still can.

3. Spray some cologne on the nape of the neck and shoulder for intimate moments. A woman's partner will be pleasantly surprised by a hint of perfume along the collar bone or on the lower back. The scent should only be as strong as a single flower and not overpowering.

4. Select a perfume to augment the outside world. For example, chose a flowery fragrance for those days when the sun is hidden by clouds and the weather is gloomy. Pick an exotic woody fragrance for cold snowy days. A perfume with a suggestion of spice is a good choice for a quiet time at home.

5. Add just a hint of another fragrance to a different area of the body, such as the back or lower legs. This nearly imperceptible interchange of fragrances will register subconsciously with others and cause them to take notice.

Tips & Warnings

• Exercise caution if applying fragrance to clothing. The aromatic chemicals in perfume can stain clothing and cause spotting and fading.
