Dos & Don’ts for being Scent-sible
Do enjoy your fragrance. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Fragrance will evaporate and change once it’s exposed to air, even sprays as those bring in more air with each spray. So enjoy it while it’s at its best.
Do keep fragrance away from extreme heat or cold as this can alter the scent. Keep it fresh by storing in a cool dry place, away from the sun…which by the way is not your bathroom.
Do create a wardrobe of fragrance for different seasons, occasions or moods. Choose a lighter scent in warmer weather and stronger scents when you’re bundled up in winter. Softer scents are great for a day at the office, and a sultrier scent for a night out.
Do apply directly to skin, focusing on pulse points. Allow your body heat to develop the fragrance for a true impression.
Don’t spray too close to skin. To avoid dripping or too-heavy application, spray from 6 or 7 inches away.
Don’t rub your wrists together when applying your fragrance. This actually “bruises” the fragrance notes and alters the scent.

Don’t sample more than 3 scents at a time. After that your nose can get overloaded and you won’t get a true sense of the fragrance. You can clear your palette so to speak by sniffing coffee beans if you want to continue sampling.
Don’t base your choice of personal fragrance on the scent right out of the bottle, or how it smells on a friend. Fragrance is affected by our personal body chemistry so try some on, and wear it for a day so you can get a true sense of how it will react with your personal chemistry.
Do obey the arms length rule. Only those within arms length of you should be able to smell your fragrance.
Do reapply…after borrowing a friend’s nose. Fragrance typically last 3-4 hours depending on what formula you use and your personal chemistry. We do get used to our own scent after about an hour though so check with someone close to confirm that it really has faded.
