Great tips. Also petroleum jelly is suppose to make your scents last MUCH longer

I mos def agree with sampling first before buying. Bring a tester bottle with you and see how your body reacts to it. I've collected over 100 perfumes and 40% of them don't last that long (more than 6 hours).

Spray on neck, wrists and surprisingly behind your knees, the scent will last much longer .. Work it ladies!

Never spray perfume on your jewelry; for instance on your necklace. I heard that the accessory losses its shine.

Why don't perfume makers sell their expensive perfumes in smaller bottles? They would not denature and lose their scent. We would be tempted to buy more because the price would be lower. My daughter and I exchange bottles when half the bottle is used.

Umm... you can't damage a scent by rubbing your wrists together.

Why would you buy different perfumes for your mood

I live for number 5 , how's I wear it doesn't really matter, as long as I feel good, smell good and look good.

That was an interesting tip about rubbing your wrists together. I always do that, but I will try patting them together next time to see how that works too.

I love smelling nice it's the only way to go :)
