Why does a fragrance last longer on some people?

 Fragrances are basically oils and they are absorbed through the skin like moisturizers. So the secret to making your fragrance last longer is to pick a matching body lotion or unscented body lotion to apply to pulse points before applying your fragrance.

Why do fragrances smell differently on different people?

Body Chemistry, diet, and age all have an affect on how a fragrance will smell on you. Fragrances consists of many essential oils, certain essential oils may have an affinity to our skin, and they may be absorbed while others are not. This will create a imbalance on the skin and this accounts for the difference in how a scent smells on you and someone else.

How and where should I apply fragrance?

Fragrance should be applied at pulse points. This is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin giving off more heat and these points act act like mini fragrance pumps. Pulse points are the wrist, behind the ear, crook of the arm or knee, base of the throat. Also, for the long lasting fragrance spray at the ankles, it allows the fragrance to blossom up.

Does fragrance need special handling?

Fragrances should be kept away from excessive heat or cold, and to avoid evaporation, the cap must be tightly closed.
