Perfume Tips - Tips for using Fragrances and Perfume
Below we offer a selection of tips for wearing and using Perfumes and Fragrances:
- Don't use more than one perfume at the same time. Two different fragrances can distort each other.
- Don't but a perfume without testing it because it "smelt nice on someone else". Due to differences in the peoples diet, skin balances and makeup, identical perfume will smell slightly different and last for different amounts of time on different people. When choosing a new perfume you haven't worn before, its a good idea to try it on yourself before purchasing.
- Keep perfume bottles away from sources of heat and light to preserve them. Unopened perfumes if stored is this way can keep for four years or more.
- Do not store your perfume or fragrances in the bathroom, as the frequent differences in temperature and humidity can degrade the scent extremely quickly. Storing perfumes away from the bathroom will extend their lifetime, and perfumes should idealy be kept at room temperature.
- Try and limit the perfumes exposure to air (this applies to dab on rather than spray on perfumes), as exposure to the air can quickly degrade ingredients of the perfume.
- If you're skin is sensitive to perfumes and fragrances, you should apply the perfume to your clothes, rather than directly on to your skin.
