We’ve all passed that unfortunate woman on the street – the unsuspecting soul who sprayed just a bit too much perfume before going out for the night. Unbeknownst to her, everyone within a 10-foot radius will be wondering why she smells like a French bordello. If you even suspect that this woman was you at some point in your life, it’s time to learn to handle a crystal perfume bottle with confidence and restraint.
Step one is to apply the perfume before you put on clothing or jewelry so as not to stain them. Focus the spray on the body’s pulse points: the throat, wrists, cleavage and crooks of the elbow. Do not spray perfume into your hair unless it’s freshly washed. Otherwise the natural oils in your ’do will change the scent. Bear in mind that good perfume does not last forever – even in a quality container. Oxidization is perfume’s worst enemy as it breaks down the fragrance.
