Learn to Wear Perfume Right

French women say that there are three things that make a woman a woman: an elegant scarf, a fancy bag and a drop of favorite perfume. But if you don't want such powerful female weapon to turn against you, follow experts’ advise to learn your body chemistry and follow some simple rules.
Don't use too much, applying perfume on your clothes, hair, and neck without thinking. Business manager for Etro Fragrances at Bergdorf Goodman, Tom Crutchfield, who has 20 years of experience in perfume business told iVillage: "French perfumer Annick Goutal always said a great fragrance is the secret between one's self and one's self."Once it goes beyond your two-foot to three-foot personal space, perhaps you put on a bit more than you want to."Also remember that after using your favorite perfume for many years you may not be able to feel the smell of it the way people around you do, which makes it easy to overdo the fragrance. It is recommended to apply one spritz per pulse zone – on your neck and cleavage, in the crook of your elbow, behind the wrist and ears. Some magazines advise to spray perfume in the air and walk through it, but Crutchfield says that doesn't really work: "They're just walking through air."You should also differentiate between fragrances that should be used during the day and those applied at night time and for special occasions. Go for light floral or citrus notes for the office and chose more rich and glamorous scents for evening. And here is the last simple rule that Mr. Crutchfield can give you: "Wear something you love."
