How to wear perfume to last longer

There are many ways to wear the perfume. Generally speaking, we can say that just apply perfume wherever you want to be kissed.  However, here are a few simple ways to wear perfume so that it can last longer and can stain your personality.

Layer the fragrance - use soaps and body moisturizers which have the same scent as your perfume. It can last longer when you wear together.

Seal the fragrances - apply the perfume before applying the body moisturizer – by applying the cream last. So, that you seal the fragrance in closer to your skin and as it evaporates the cream will trap the essence of the perfume fragrance.

Apply inner part of your elbows and the inside of the wrists are the perfume palce to apply perfume. Moreover, the ankle and behind the knee is the perfect place as well, as the perfumes rises in the heat. This is more suitable for the special occasion like dinner or cocktails party.  In eastern tradition, the navel is a popular place to apply perfume.

Do not apply near jewelery - when you are applying perfume, do not wear any of your jewelery because the alcohol contained in the perfume can remove the coating of your jewellery. So, put on your jewelery after you have applied.

"Always apply perfume in the dip of the collarbone (not behind your ear), because the first thing someone does when they're getting closer and more intimate is to whisper in your ear. This way their nose is directly over the "hot spot" and if your chosen scent contains the necessary aphrodisiac, the magic will be there". by Roja Dove

6 tips to choose the right scent

We have the natural scent which takes crucial role in choosing the perfume for us because it combines together with the perfume and it makes a new scent for us. Therefore, choosing the right scent or right perfume is very personal and depends on our own personalities. Generally, here are 6 great tips when we are choosing the right perfume for us.
  1. Do not wear any perfume when go shopping for new scent.
  2. Do not choose or try perfume after having spicy meal because it can effect our body chemistry as well as our scents.
  3. Do not choose the perfume that smells good on someone. It cannot smell the same scent on you.
  4. Do not judge the smell of the perfume when it is still in the bottle. Our skin is the essential aspect in choosing the right scent because we can only smell the top notes and that may not smell on our skin.
  5. Do try and walk for an hour because we may like the top notes but it is the base that determines the final scent on our skin. It takes as average of hour to develop. So, after one hour, we can make our decision.
  6. Do not smell too many perfumes at one time, just try three to four. We can try wafting coffee beans under our nose to refresh our smelling power.
As Roja Dova said, never go with a friend. Fragrance is so personal and such reflection of our own personality they may well force their own tastes on you. It could be a relationship that lasts a lifetime - the perfume that is!
