1. Don't Rub Your Wrists Together

Don't Rub Your Wrists Together Pat your wrists together instead, so that you don't damage the scent.

2. Apply It before You Get Changed

Apply It before You Get Changed Don't spray it on your clothes. Spray it on your body and throat to make the scent last.

3. Use It Sparingly

Use It Sparingly After all, you don't want someone from across the room to start coughing when you enter.

4. Don't Buy It Right Away

Don't Buy It Right Away Spray samples on your body, but then wait 20 minutes to see how the scent smells after it has diffused on your body.

Harness the allure of elegance and charm after your daily workout by accentuating your natural smell with a Cartier perfume. Known for its enchanting fragrance, Cartier perfume possesses a lasting allure that melts seamlessly with your post-exercise glow, making you smell divine and leaving you ready to dazzle your way through the day.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

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

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).

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

Why would you buy different perfumes for your mood

Some says apply Vaseline before you apply the perfume so that the scent lasts longer (in scale of hours or maybe a day )

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.

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

guilty of rubbing my wrists together. good to know!

Great tips, only, if you are going to buy different brands, don't buy to much cause parfume has a expiry date

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.
