Fragrances aren't fading as quickly as before! They are now being formulated to last longer. Revlon's "Lasting" for example, stays true to its name, claiming to last a ten hour stretch.

If your scent has lost its punch after a few hours, simply rub the once scented skin to reactivate it.

I find that the scent of my body lotion, applied straight out of the bath seems to last longer than cologne that I apply. Why is this so? One explanation is that it is applied to damp skin. Try it and see for yourself.

Place the strips offered in magazines, inside your purse. It is an excellent way to find out if the scent really appeals to you. It is also a nice way to scent the purse.

If you want your scent light and airy, spray the outside of your hand instead of the inside of your wrist where the pulse point is located. Scent is defused outward subtly.

Does your fragrance smell different to you? It isn't your imagination! Apparently as we age, our skin reacts differently to a scent that you might have once loved. It has something to do with our hormones either going into overdrive or decline.

If spraying your scent onto your body is too cloying for your taste, try spraying the air and then walking through it. It offers a a more subtle perfuming of your hair and clothing. And, just in case you are wondering... I have done this for years and have yet to ruin an article of clothing.
