A fragrance by any other name will smell as sweet? You betcha; up your perfume ante this spring with RESCU’s favourite new fragrance launches.
But first… Follow these fragrance tips by olfactory connoisseur, Michael Edwards founder of Fragrances of the World, to get the most out of your perfume.
Applying your fragrance: Where the skin is especially warm and where there is good blood circulation. This is because heat helps diffuse and magnify the aroma of fragrance. The “pulse points” on the body (Inside the wrists, inside the elbows, at the temple, below the ear lobes, the base of the throat) are the perfect activators for perfume.
Spray or dab?: Both ways are fine but sometimes you can waste precious drops of perfume when you dab it on. This problem is minimised with a spray that delivers a fine, even application of fragrance. Spray about 20cm away from your skin. An even spray over a wider area will help your fragrance last longer than a generous amount in a small area.
Fragrance myth busted: Do not rub your wrists together, or you will bruise the notes and dull their development.
