Your pulse points, if you cannot tell, are places on your body where you can feel your pulse. If you think about it, applying perfume to them works well as your heart beats, you disturb the perfume, which refreshes the fragrance.

The problem is that as your body gets used to the fragrance, it can make your skin more resistant to it. So, with that in mind, it’s a good idea to vary between your pulse points. Here are some of them:

• Behind your knees
• ankles
• wrists
• crook of your elbow
• cleavage
• the nape of your neck

Of course, if you have Eau Du Toilette then you would have to re-apply it every hour or so. Therefore, it’s a good idea to apply it before going out, after a bath or shower, in one of the pulse points that are not quite as dignified to access! When out, and you have your eau du toilette with you, you can easily apply it to your neck or wrists.

Another area that it is becoming increasingly popular to put perfume is on your hairbrush. Then, when you brush your hair, the perfume smells stick to your hair for the evening, and linger on throughout the evening.

Keep It Out of Strong Heat and Light
A shady corner in the bathroom or inside a medicine cabinet is ideal place for keeping a bottle of perfume. Both the light and the heat can damage the colour and – therefore – the scent.

Keep Upright
Ever wonder why perfume bottles come in boxes? Well it’s to prevent it from shaking about too much. When you are not using it, keep it standing as it should. Plus the bottle looks a lot nicer.

Buy The Right Perfume
If you don’t wear much fragrance, choose one with a higher concentration of alcohol in it. Perfume with a higher percentage of alcohol lasts longer (by about 5-6months longer).
