Scents (Part Two)...by Vain DIVA

People often wonder how to make their perfume/fragrance last longer. Here are some of my tips... The areas that perfume will linger longest are:

inside the wrists and elbows,
collar bone,
nape of the neck,
behind the knees and
at the naval.

- Cologne, with a lower essential oil content of 2 to 5 per cent, is ideal for those who want a light scent.If you want a scent to last longer, go for an eau de parfum, which is more concentrated and contains 8 to 15 per cent of essential oils.

If it's a fragrance spritz... you can spray and walk through the mist without clothing on. Don't spray on your clothing for it will be stained!


Some Last Tips
If you are sensitive to perfumes, or out in the sun regularly, choose an alcohol free perfume which is less likely to irritate.

To ensure a longer shelf life for your fragrances, keep them in a cool, dry area and away from direct sunlight. Exposure to sun/heat can lead to discoloration, smell alteration, evaporation.Generally, a fragrance lasts two to three years if kept in the right conditions
To prolong a bottle of perfume, place it in a cool dry place..

Don't just spray some Perfume or Cologne and walk away through the door to go to work or anywhere. Always put it on atleast 10 minutes before you leave home. That way the scent will get enough time to settle on the skin rather than just evaporate.

FAQs
Where should I apply my fragrance?
Because the heart has a direct influence on the way a fragrance is enhanced and diffused, it is highly recommended that you apply perfume on your pulse points, and on places of your body where the skin is warmer, like the inside of the wrists and elbows, on the temples, under the ear lobe (and not behind), behind the knees, and anywhere else you feel like!This will enhance the scented trail you leave behind...If you use an Eau de Toilette(EDT), spray it approximately 20 cm away from your skin.



Where can I apply my fragrance, apart from on my skin?
Try spraying a little on your damp hair before drying, or spray it directly onto your hairbrush. Spray onto your clothes. This ultimate seduction move will also intensify your fragrance and make it last longer. Make sure you hold the spray 20 cm away from the garments, and avoid spraying on light fabrics and furs. You can also add a few drops to the water you use in your steam iron. This will delicately scent your clothes. Or, try rinsing your lingerie in water to which you will have added a few drops of fragrance. For a fragranced handbag, spray some perfume onto a handkerchief and place it inside.


Can I wear two fragrances at the same time?
It is not recommended as each fragrance is a complex, balanced and unique creation. When you combine two fragrances, there is a risk that you will disturb the delicate olfactory composition of each, thereby creating a new, less appealing scent.

How can I enhance my favorite fragrance?
Enjoy the pleasure of your favorite fragrance's body range.These products will help not only to intensify your fragrance, but also to make it last longer. It is best to avoid using other body products with a different fragrance.
Last but not least,
To be very honest with the reason we use Perfume or Cologne is not only to smell good but also to attract opposite sex. Men like women fragrance and women like men fragrance and the manufactures know about it.

Basically it is a trial and error process. That's why many people tend to buy smaller bottle to try it on and if it works good with that ..then they buy a bigger bottle and keep enjoying it.
