If you are a woman who has had bad experiences with other women over doing it in the fragrance department, you have probably been turned off for life. But don't give up, your soft scent is waiting out there for only you to find. When people drench themselves in their favorite smell, it really can take over your personal space.
An example of this is when Mika was in hospital after giving birth to her first child. Of course everyone wants to be sure that there new born baby is in the cleanest, healthiest and freshest environment possible. The rooms are not exactly large and there were four other women who had new-bourns also. Mika's baby was only twelve hours old when a roommate decides to go to town with her cheap nasty perfume and spray it all over her cubicle. Of course, the rooms soon became a barrage of chocking women and Mika quickly took her baby out of their. She went to the midwife, demanded a room change for herself and her child, and could not believe the women had dared to make that decision for all of them. This is very bad perfume etiquette, and you must remember to remain considerate of those around you. As for Mika, she hasn't been able to stand wearing any perfume since and says she never will.
Pick a fragrance that is appropriate for the occasion, and remember subtle is usually best. Just because you prefer a strong fragrance doesn't mean you have to put a lot on, and you often can't smell it yourself because you are used to it. Others who come into contact with you will notice it much more as it's not a smell they are used to.
When you put your perfume on, don't just go wild and splash it all over yourself, your clothes and accessories. Be discreet, placing a smidge behind your ear, the inside of your wrist or palm and each side of your neck. Because these are your main pulse points the fragrance is said to last much longer, so you don't have to apply heaps thinking it will wear down.
It is a myth that has been created by the movies about rubbing your wrists together and it is not the way proper procedure. Perfumes have layers to them, some are absorbed and some sit on the skin. Rubbing will ruin the desired affect and change the smell.
Unless you sweat profusely, you should only have to apply your perfume once. Alternatively you can spray the air and walk into it, which gives a fine and minimal scent. If are a type of person who sweats a lot, apply another layer of perfume later on in the day. Don't spray it directly onto anything precious as it will stain!

10 Tips On Applying Your Perfume ?
1. Apply your perfume before you get dressed. Yes, you should be in your birthday suit. That means no jewelry either because some perfumes can leave nasty stains on some of your clothing and jewelry.
2. Always apply your perfume to your pulse points. This can be your wrists, your throat, your chest, or your elbows (on the inside). If you apply your perfume to your wrists resist the urge to rub your wrists together as this will actually ruin the scent of the perfume. Just apply and leave it alone.
3. If you want your perfume to last and last in the hotter days apply your perfume to the backs of your knees. This will ensure that when your body heat rises your perfume will still be there.
4. Sometimes applying your perfume to your hair can really get someone's attention, especially if you have long hair. Make sure you only put perfume in your hair after you have washed it and while it is still damp. Just one or two sprays will do it, or you can spray your hands and rub it through your hair. Wash your hair brush or comb after to get the scent off in case you were to use a different kind of perfume next time.
5. If you have dry or light skin you might have noticed that your perfume does not last very long. Those with darker and oilier skin usually have no problems with their perfume lasting. Re spray during your lunch break and you will be lasting, too.
6. Believe it or not (even though it has been proven in scientific experiments) your perfume scents can have an impact on your emotions and your mind set. This does not mean that you should stop using your perfume if you happen to be in a bad mood one day. However, you should change up your perfume from time to time. You should at least change your perfume scents with the season changes ? about every three to four months. Do not be scared to try new scents!
7. Sometimes perfumes can lose their original scent and fade with time as you have it. To keep your perfume fresh and smelling like it did the first day you opened it you should keep it in your refrigerator. Seriously, this will help keep your perfume smelling fresh. Make sure you keep it in an airtight container of your choice. This will be the best for those really hot days, but probably not during the winter months. If you do not want to spray yourself with cold perfume while it is cold out just keep it in an airtight container.
8. Do your best not to apply your perfume where you tend to sweat, even during the cold days. Do not apply perfume to your armpits or your face. Your own smell will mix with your perfume and it will not smell good.
9. If you want to you can apply your perfume at night before you go to bed. Just put a little bit on the back of your neck. This will cut down on any damage the perfume could cause your skin, allergic reactions to the skin and any interactions with sun blocks.
10. Keep your perfume light. Just a little bit will do, and you can always reapply during lunch if you need to. Try new perfumes when the seasons change to keep your scents changing and not the same all of the time.
Use these simple and easy tips to help you properly apply your perfume on a daily basis. Enjoy your perfume!
