LAYERING IS THE KEY TO LONG-LASTING FRAGRANCE

Fragrance layering - applying the same fragrance in different forms - is the key to prolonging the scent throughout the day (all fragrance forms needed to accomplish this simple layering can be found on eBay). We generally bathe or shower with a soap or body wash that has one fragrance. We might then apply a body lotion or moisturizer that has a different fragrance. Perhaps we might get ready to face the day with a dusting of powder with yet another fragrance. People tend to forget that most deodorants and/or antiperspirants are scented - if we use a scented deodorant, there's another fragrance thrown into the already clashing mixture. After we have scented our bodies with a mish-mash of fragrances, we then apply our favorite perfume, after-shave lotion or cologne, tossing still another fragrance into our homemade mess of contrasting scents. Then, we wonder why no one notices that we are wearing that fabulous designer fragrance that cost us a month's salary! When we take a look back at the many scents we have applied to our bodies in different forms, it's no wonder that fabulous, high-priced designer fragrance has been lost in the shuffle! If you have a signature fragrance and you would like to have that fragrance last throughout your busy day, apply that fragrance, and that fragrance only, in every form of scented products you use. Let's say that lavender is your favorite fragrance -  start your day with your first layer of fragrance by showering with a lavender-scented body wash, such as Yves Rocher's Captivating Lavender Body Wash.. To keep that soothing scent smoothly sailing, apply your second layer of fragrance and soften and moisturize your skin with a lavender-scented body lotion - again, Yves Rocher's Captivating Lavender Body Lotion is a great choice. Let's keep the ball rolling by using a lavender-scented deodorant as your third fragrance layer- Nature's Gate Lavender & Aloe Deodorant fits the bill. Do you want a dusting of powder to keep you fresh and dry? If so,  use a lavender-scented powder as your fourth fragrance layer. Yves Rocher's Magical Lavender Fluid Talc starts out as a fluid and dries as a soft powder. You're almost at the finish line - just one more fragrance layer and you're done! Don't mess up now - choose a lavender-scented perfume and/or cologne as your fifth and final layer. Give Yves Rocher's Lavender Eua de Toilette a try. Your body is now enveloped in five harmonizing lavender-scented layers. And - that's what you and others around you will notice - the fresh, herbal, floral fragrance of soothing lavender and nothing else! Of course, you can carry this lavender layering further by washing and rinsing your clothes with Mrs. Meyer's Lavender Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener. Use Yves Rocher's Lavender Liquid Hand Soap whenever your hands need a wash. Suave's Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner will give you lovely, lavender-scented hair. Why not use Burt Bee's Lavender Mint Toothpaste instead of your regular brand? Try Yves Rocher's Lavender Polishing Foot Scrub, Lavender Comfort Cream and Lavender Intensive Foot Repair to keep your feet soft, smooth and "lavendery." Toss a few Lavender sachets in your dresser drawers for "lavendery" freshness. You may as well keep your home "lavendery," too, with Lavender room and air sprays; Lavender bath and kitchen cleaners; and Lavender-scented candles, incense and potpourri. Do you believe you can even clean your furniture with Lavender furniture polish? I guess fragrance layering knows no boundaries!
