Get the Most Out of Your Fragrance

Okay, so I promise I will have more makeup-related posts coming up soon. I also want to start making videos. We'll see how that goes.

For today though I am going to give some more fragrance-related tips. Like the last post, some of these you may already know, but you might find at least one new piece of information or something you hadn't thought about.

Perfume generally will last 3 to 5 years, but it can last longer if the bottle is darker or opaque and has good-quality ingredients in it. I have two big tips for expanding the shelf life of your perfumes:

• Keep them out of direct sunlight and harsh lights. It can discolor the fragrance and change the scent. Many people like to display their bottles in their room, but if the sun is beating down on them, that's not good.
• Don't keep your perfumes in the bathroom either. The frequent change in temperature can also ruin the scent.

I also have five tips to help you get the most out of your fragrance when you wear it:

• If you spray perfume on your wrists, tap your wrists together to get the scent on both of them. Never rub your wrists together! That can break up the notes in the fragrance and change the scent.
• Spray scents on your pulse points. These are the warm spots on your body that intensify the fragrance. These include your wrists, the back of your neck, behind your knees, the small of your back, the inside of your elbows, and your cleavage.
• You do not need to douse yourself in perfume. Don't spray yourself constantly all day. Your nose adjusts to scents after a few minutes and you won't be able to tell how strong it really is on you. If you can smell the scent on you constantly, you are wearing too much. 
• Layering body washes and lotions that match your perfume can help your fragrance stay on longer.
• Be careful with spraying fragrances directly on clothes. Perfume can discolor clothing.
