Dos & Don'ts
[How to wewr perfume well?]
Usually, we tell "to "wear" a perfume. As a general rule, " extract of perfume ", product extremely concentrated, « eau de parfum » should put itself in dotted line, and as if one drew a line on the skin. As regards " eau de Cologne ", one can put it on one more large surface of skin.
If you garden, avoid wearing of the perfume at the risk of surrounding you with small insects.
Do not put perfume before a sun exhibition to avoid the pigmentary tasks.
It is preferable not to use the perfume to disinfect a wound. The alcohol contained in the perfumes is not neutral, it contains gasoline, conservatives and dyes which can irritate or infect the wound.
The sense of smell is easily saturated
The fragrance of a perfume puts approximately 20 to 30 mn to fix itself on our skin. When you wear perfume again , make moderately because the scent of the first application lasts longer than you think it.
It is preferable not to test more than 3 fragrances under only one test because our nose saturates quickly and beyond that, it does not make any more a difference when you choose a perfume start by testing lightest. Deposit one or two drops with back of your wrist or on the back of your hand, far from your nose, and move the hand gently. To compare two perfumes, try the first on a hand and the second on the other hand. Avoid smelling the perfume directly in the bottle, because the strong alcohol odour masks the true scent of the perfume. If you are still undecided, trust you later with the basic note present on your wrist.

Where can one scent oneself?
Very of access the perfume must "be related" to a clean skin and in particular, there, where the temperature of the body is highest.
Behind the ear: the perfume will be diffused better because this zone is hottest of the lobe of the ear.
The nape: of the neck but attention, if you have the sensitive skin because this place can be sensitive.
Interior of the arm: scent the hollow of the elbow because it is a hot and mobile place.
The wrist: scent the back of the wrist, at the place of the pulse.
Size: scent the turn of your size before a dinner, the scent will diffuse slowly.
Behind the knees: pose some drops of perfumes close to the point of pulsation.
Legs: to delicately scent the internal face of the thighs, knees and ankle.
The hem of the skirt: the fragrance will diffuse when you walk.

There are zones to avoid, for example, the armpits, because of perspiration and the triangle located between the ears and the chest, because one can then irritate the skin, sensitive around the nose and of the throat.

The perfume cannot be preserved intact more than three years, mainly for extract of perfume. Indeed, this one is very sensitive to the light. It is thus preferable to store it in a dark and fresh place.
A perfume, badly preserved, can then deteriorate in a few months attention with the variations in temperature. Buy your perfume in minimal quantity is: 15 ml for the extract, 25 ml for perfume spray and 50 ml for toilet water, that limits the risks of deterioration considerably.
Avoid vaporizing your perfume on your hair because this one could make them dull and possibly their give a rather unpleasant odour. Indeed, it can occur a chemical reaction of sebaceous glands in contact with the perfume.
We find easily in the department stores of pretty sprays provided with a pear. These sprays are not tight and support the oxidation of the perfume. It is thus preferable to keep them for decoration or to fill them only for a few days of perfuming.

On the other hand, there is no problem with the sprays that the large marks propose to us, they are of a perfect sealing because they diffuse the perfume without air but with only one propellant gas added in weight equal to the scented solution.
