Following a few simple tips will help you make the most of perfume application.

• Avoid perfume stains-apply perfume before clothes and jewelry. Allow to dry before dressing and putting on bracelets and other jewelry. Some perfumes may discolor or damage some metals, pearls, and gems. There is an increased risk with costume jewelry.
• Apply perfume to pulse points-wrists, throat base, behind the ears, inside elbows (where the bend is), and between breasts. Apply a dab to the back of knees to take advantage of body heat rising.
• Add an extra dab or spray-for women who have dry or fair skin. Without the natural oils in skin, perfume will wear off faster. Solid perfumes sometimes work best for this skin type.
• Apply to hair-only do this if hair is freshly washed. If hair has natural oils built up, it will change the scent of the perfume. Hold perfume about 8 inches from hair and spray. Perfume can be applied to hands and run through it or to a brush before brushing wet or dry hair.
• Change fragrances with the seasons-cold dry weather or humid hot weather will change the skin condition and will affect scent of perfume. Experiment with different fragrances during different seasons.

Make the most of your perfume scents and keep the scent consistent by following the above tips.
