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.
