A few tips on how to preserve your fragrances
The worst place to store your perfumes? The bathroom! Frequent
changes in temperature and humidity levels (shower, bath...) have
a direct impact on your perfume bottles...
The best place to store them? Your wine cellar! No joke, a cool,
dark, dry place will give your perfumes a longer shelf life.
It is best to keep your perfume bottle in its packaging.
With time, perfume evaporates and can deteriorate...If the colour
has changed or if it gives off a slightly acidic odour, throw
it out...
Avoid shaking the bottle.

How to apply fragrances
There is no golden rule in how and where to apply fragrances. However,
here are some good tips to follow:
We're not biased, but there are certain spots that should be first
picks for perfume...pulse points, the inside of your wrist and elbows,
behind the knees. These are areas where the body heats up the most and
where fragrances release and linger ever so subtly.
Spritzing you hair with perfume will give off a little scent with
every sway of your locks.
If you want to be totally discreet, spray a little perfume in your
cleavage. The scent will reveal itself oh-so softly...
Contrary to popular belief, you shouldn't rub the inside of your wrists
together just after you've applied a fragrance. Doing this "kills" the
fragrance and makes it evaporate more quickly.
A freshly moisturized skin helps fragrances last longer. You can boost
your perfume's staying power by combining it with a perfumed body lotion
or cream.
Why not spread a little joy and apply perfume to your sexy undergarments?
When you hand wash your frillies, add a drop of perfume to the final
rinse. Make yourself irresistible!
Summer scents
Your best bet is to go with lighter fragrances with floral notes. Here
are a few suggestions...
