A persons skin undergoes constant change depending on various factors that affect it including those of weather conditions, dietary habits, mood (yes you read that correctly) and even cigarette smoke which is detrimental to the skin.
A rise in stress levels too can bring about a change in the skin which will have a knock-on effect on the perfume a lady is wearing. Due to the rise in body temperature caused by stress, when the heat is eliminated mainly through the skin as perpiration, at the same time there is an increase in the aroma of the ladies’ perfume. If on the other hand there is a lot of perspiration then that aroma quickly disappears entirely.
Thus not only does the body affect the potential of a perfume but the condition of the skin does also. If you have dry skin then you will find your perfume does not last as long as somemone with moist skin. In which case its wise to moisturize your skin before applying your perfume.
Regardless of a moisturizer being used though, there are few perfumes that will last the whole day and into the night, so you will generally need to re-apply at least once in the day.
Where to put perfume on the body for best effect? Most ladies dab the perfume behind the ear lobes and on the wrists, which is fine and works well. There are though other places that work equally well because they are warm areas, which aids the aroma of the perfume to be at its full potential. You can also try behind the knees, in the crooks of the arms, at the bottom of the throat and between the breasts.
If you lightly apply petroleum jelly first to the area where you are about to put the perfume and then apply the perfume you will find that your perfume will last longer than it normally would.
Its unwise to put your perfume into your hair or onto your clothing. This is because with regards your hair, the perfume will usually not react well with the shampoos and conditioners you use, and as for clothing – perfume does not go will with detergents that have been used to wash the clothing.
You can successfully add perfume to clothing by gently soaking your undergarments in water that has had some drops of perfume added to it.
