Do Keep Your Fragrances Safe From Extreme Cold or Heat?
Once a bottle of perfume is opened it should be used. Otherwise it will begin to fade or change its character with time. Long exposure to strong sunlight or extremes in temperature can disturb the delicate balance of the perfume and change its scent. Perfume, to last, should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct light, preferably in its beautiful box. Just as books must be read... records played...fragrances must be worn to be enjoyed!
Do make it a rule never to try more than three scents at one time when you are shopping for a new fragrance.
Your
nose will lose its ability to tell the difference. Apply fragrance
directly to the skin when you are testing new scents. You cannot get a
true reaction to the fragrance from the bottle. Apply a few drops to
your wrist. Allow the heat of the body to develop the fragrance on your
skin and then sniff. If you would like to test one or two additional
scents, apply one to the other wrist... wait...and then apply the third
to the inside bend of the elbow. If you want to delay your decision
while you shop, be sure to write down which fragrance you put where, so
you'll be able to refer back to it later on.
Do introduce the enjoyment of fragrance to every young person you know.
It is never too soon for them to experience the fun and benefits of fragrance.
Do use fragrance throughout every day.
It
will increase your feelings of well being...add a special degree of
graciousness to daily living...make life for you and those around you
infinitely more pleasurable and enjoyable.
Don not hoard your fragrance.
Open
each bottle with anticipation and pleasure. Enjoy its fragrant contents
regularly or you may be disappointed to discover it has spoiled or
evaporated before your eyes.
Don not put fragrance directly on furs or fabrics.
It may stain.
Don not make your final judgements on a new fragrance
until
at least ten minutes after you have applied it. By that time the
alcohol will have evaporated and the blending of the fragrance with
your own skin is chemistry will give you a true impression.
Don not choose a fragrance because you like it on someone else.
Fragrance
is never the same on different people. Everyone is created equal until
they use fragrance. It is your individual body chemistry which makes a
fragrance special, unique and flattering for you.
Don not forget fragrances for men.
They
have never been more of a basic part of masculine good grooming.
Colognes, shaving foams, after-shaving lotions, skin conditioners,
soaps, after-shower body rubs, talcs, all add a refreshing and
delightful dimension to the masculine living.

When Tyger first sampled her fledgling perfume (a.k.a. "Ma Femme") developed by DeHavilland Fragrances in Grosse, France, she said "Sexy smelly Good...Its so basic, so primitive. It's breathtaking, romantic and personal. It's got to be...Bare Essence." With a successful prototype, Tyger established Kellerco Perfume Company. |
