Believe it or not, there is a right and wrong way to apply perfume. And we thought that we can just spray it all over! Some people would spray the perfume, cologne, eu de toilette all over their bodies because they think they would exude the scent more if they do that.
The thing is, you need to have a spray point. If you do, even if you don’t spray much, it does stay longer and exudes more scent. Where are the spray points?
1. at the hollow of your throat
2. behind your ears
3. wrist
4. behind your knee
By spraying on just the spray point, you will smell better, the scent lasts longer, and you can save more.
Speaking of perfumes… what is your favorite scent? I love Banana Republic, Classic. It’s hard to find that perfume in Malaysia because it is US based. Usually Malaysia would sell UK based products. So when Peter went to the US last year, he bought me Banana Republic perfume in which I only got to use after weaning my baby off from nursing.
Another tip is that you must finish the perfume within the year after opening it. They lose essence after one year, even they’re not expired yet… which reminds me to replenish mine. But how? I can only get Banana Republic in the US.
Maybe use another perfume. I am so into Jasmine scent now. There’s Jasmine perfume available at Marks and Spencer’s. And there’s a new range of Jasmine products at The Body Shop. I so wanted to buy… but I was out of budget. After my China trip, I will save so I can buy those. For now, it’s my natural scent I’m wearing… which hubby prefers.
LOL! Great tips and love the final punchline! I prefer Lair d temps from Nina Ricci. Hubby got me Mediterranean from Elizabeth Arden. Also nice, but as you said, after a year… the scent changed….
aggie, i would definitely have a smell of those later. haven’t tried elizabeth arden… or nina ricci. maybe if i do, i’d like them too. no need to find banana republic.
