Perfume Q and A

Storing a bottle in your lingerie drawer will make your most intimate garments smell incredibly alluring. Try Vera Wang PRINCESS for a playful touch.

Wearing the same fragrance every day can often make you immune to the smell- and prompt us to wear too much. To keep this from happening build a fragrance wardrobe that includes a fresh, clean floral like GLOW by JLo.

When choosing a fragrance consider its bottom notes especially-as these are the heavier ingredients that linger the longest like the sexy musk, vanilla and white wood notes of DAISY by Marc Jacobs.

While you may have two favorite scents, never mix them together. The result can be intrusive - not intoxicating.

If you like a fragrance but you think it might be a little too overpowering, opt for a lighter version on the same line. Eau de Toilettes are the lightest. Followed by Eau de perfume, and perfume or parfum classic.

Always use an unscented deodorant- the smell can clash with your perfume.

Business meeting? Use a light version of your scent. Try a scented body lotion or perfumed shower gel. Or stick to something light and modern like the floral bouquet of VERA WANG by Vera Wang.

On hot days, high temperatures may alter your fragrance. Opt for a lighter scent, such as LOVELY by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Scent may react differently on different skin. So while you may love the way your best friend smells, try her perfume on your skin before you buy it.

Splash bottles feel luxurious, but exposure to air can alter a fine fragrance over time. Decant it into a small, airtight atomizer to spray anywhere-anytime.

Store fragrances always out of direct sunlight. The sun can take your scent from sweet to sour in no time and evaporate it.

Apply the fragrance to these points: pulse points behind your knees, wrists, behind ears for longer-lasting scent.

Don't keep your fragrances in the bathroom. The heat and humidity can alter them.
