Wearing Perfume

Perfume can be wonderful or it can be wonderfully awful! If you wear perfume correctly you can leave a lasting impression on those around you. If you wear perfume incorrectly you can leave a lasting impression on those around you also, but it may not be the kind of impression you want. Here are a few ways to wear perfume that will keep you on other’s mind in a positive way:

1. Most of us have heard this but it is worth repeating: you should apply perfume to your pulse points. To allow your chosen scent to work with your body’s natural heat you can apply perfume on the inside of your elbow, the crook of your neck, the inside of your wrists—but don’t rub together, and on the back of your knees.
2. Spray a cloud of perfume in the air and then walk through it. This will distribute the scent all over your body.
3. One important thing to remember is to not overdo it. I have heard some say that you should layer your fragrance—using the scented shower gel, body spray, lotion and cologne. I say, wow! That is doing way too much! In my opinion, a little of a good perfume goes a long way. When wearing a scent you have to think about other people who might be sensitive to strong smells. Wearing too much cologne or perfume is a turnoff.
