1. Everyone has a personal “scent circle”: approximately an arm’s length from the body. No one should be aware of your fragrance unless he or she steps inside your “circle.” Fragrance should be one of the most subtle, personal messages you send to those with whom you come in contact.
2. For a long-lasting effect, fragrance should be layered all over the body, starting with toilet water or eau de parfum, next in strength to perfume, to build the fragrance foundation. Because fragrance rises, spray or smooth fragrance onto skin from the feet to the shoulders. If fragrance is applied only behind the ears, it will eventually rise and disappear.
3. The wearer’s diet can affect the way a fragrance smells and lasts on the skin. If the wearer is on a high fat, spicy diet, for example, fragrances will be more intense. A dramatic change in diet can alter skin chemistry, causing fragrances to smell differently.
4. Skin type will also affect the way a fragrance smells on a person. Fragrance wearers with oilier skin should remember that fragrances interact with the oils in their skin to create a more intense scent. Dry skin does not retain fragrance as long as oily skin, requiring the wearer to re-apply the fragrance more often.
Wedding Tips
1. When choosing a fragrance for your wedding day, wear one of your favorites that he especially likes — this is no time for surprises!
2. But, if you’re determined to wear something new, be sure to start experimenting at least a month before the wedding so that you are certain it is a scent you’ll both enjoy.
3. Apply the same fragrance in all its many forms and layer it — starting with the bathing products and ending with your perfume application to the pulse points (wherever you feel the beat of your heart).
4. For an especially romantic effect, apply fragrance to the palms of your hands. From the moment he slips the ring on your finger…till the last dance…you’ll communicate an exquisite sensory message he’ll adore.
5. If you’re wearing fashionable sheer lacy gloves take a cue from Queen Elizabeth I and accent them with fragrance.
6. Just before you put on your veil, spray fragrance and surround yourself in a halo of scent. Then, spray the same fragrance on your veil to create a magical aura of scented pleasure.
7. Orchestrate your bridesmaids’ scents to complement each other — and you — for perfect harmony. Their scent should be in the same fragrance family as yours — oriental, spicy, floral, floral blend, green, modern blend, citrus.




Fragrance is very clearly set apart from the rest of the beauty sector. After all, perfume has no cosmetic effect on its wearer; it won’t give you a clear complexion, it won’t create glossy, flowing hair, nor help disguise the signs of aging. Yet fragrance remains the most inspirational and glamourous beauty item you can buy, its very ethereal qualities capturing the imaginations of consumers and manufacturers alike.
