After much research on the subject of perfume application we have gathered some very valuable advice. We have come up with a list of common mistakes to avoid and helpful hints to use in making good use of of your favorite perfume.
1. Apply perfume on your skin preferably after a bath/shower since your skin is nice and clean and can absorb your favorite fragrance more thoroughly.

3. If your favorite discount women perfume comes in a spray, you may want to squirt some on pulse areas from one foot away to get an even distribution. You could also spray it into the air 2 or 3 times, form a perfume cloud and “walk” right in.
4. Heat does rise, so you should perfume yourself from the bottom up. This allows the scent to last longer throughout the day.
5. It is a fact that men and women with dry skin don’t retain scents as long as people with oily skin. This is due to the fact that oils in the skin join with the perfume oils thus making it a slower process of evaporation. Solution: reapply your preferred scent once or twice a day or use a good moisturizer before applying your fragrance.
6. Allow the scent to dry. Many people put on perfume and immediately dress, which rubs some of it off and prevents the discount fragrance from really being absorbed. It takes about an hour for the perfume to develop with your natural scent.
7. Many men and women are not conscious of the different scented body products they use - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, deodorant, after shave balm, etc. - they use them all at once which causes a mess of smells. It is almost impossible for the perfume to really stand out or even last long when it’s mixed with everything else. So, if you want to make your perfume or cologne last longer, then “layer it”. Use body products scented preferably like your perfume or better yet products from the same brand. Start with a shower gel and then seal the scent with body lotion or after shave and finish by locking it all up with your favorite fragrance.
