How
Should I Apply Fragrance?
When using an eau de cologne, eau de toilette, or eau de
parfum, spray or dab liberally on the skin. These versions
of fragrance are designed to be used all over. Spray in the
air and walk into a cloud of scent for an even, head to toe
experience!
Perfume, the most concentrated version of scent, is designed
to be applied at the pulse points, on the wrists, behind the
neck, in the collet, behind the ears, or even behind the
knees. Your body warmth will radiate your delightful
perfume.
How should I care for my fine fragrances?
Fragrance is made to be used and enjoyed - use it or lose it!
For maximum shelf life, store fragrance away from bright
sunlight, in a cool, dark area, with the cap tightly
secured. Fragrance oils can turn rancid or evaporate if
stored improperly.
How do I make fragrance last on my skin?
It is difficult for dry skin to retain fragrance. Try "layering"
fragrance by using several products in a line. For example,
begin with scented soap or bath oil, follow with body lotion
or creme, dust with powder to set the fragrance, and follow
with perfume at the pulse points, or an all-over spritz of
eau de parfum. Use body me for extra nourishment in cold
winter months.
