When choosing a fragrance, spray the perfume on the vein of your wrist where the skin is warm, as this will diffuse the scent.
You can try out two perfumes, one on each wrist during one trip to the mall, but not more than two.
Never rub perfume on your skin, as you will damage the delicate ingredients.
When applying a fragrance do so before you get dressed and spray the fragrance below your collarbone area and between your breasts.
You can also spray and mist your hair because your head is one of the warmest spots on your body.
Then spray a bit on the insides of your elbows, the backs of your knees and on your wrists.
In the winter, dabbing perfume on your scarf and the lining of your coat is a nice touch.
For people who pass you on the street, it's very sensual.
And when you remove your jacket, you'll release another little burst of fragrance.
How to choose the perfume that would suit you best.
The general rule of thumb states that light skinned people will be best suited wearing a lighter perfume (Floral and Citrus fragrances) and that a darker toned skin would best be suited with heavier fragrances like a woody or oriental type perfume.

Floral 2.
Fougere 3.
Chypre 4.
Leather 5.
Woody 6.
Oriental 7.
