Perfume
Guide to making your Fragrance Last
1. Often the best way to make
your fragrance or perfume last is to layer the scent. So begin
in the shower or bath using a your designer fragrance bath
and shower gel or soap. Next use a fragranced body cream,
or for a lighter affect a perfumed body lotion massaged gently
into the skin. After the fragranced body products have been
absorbed into the skin, sprtiz the perfume strength all over
the body.

2.
Many fine fragrance experts and perfume connoisseurs recommend
spraying an EDT, EDP or dabbing a Perfume onto the pulse points.
These include the wrists, behind the ears, neck , behind the
elbow and backs of the knees.
3.
The ultimate Perfume Guide tip to making your fine fragrance
or perfume last a long time is to spray your fragrance onto
your hairbrush and running the fragranced brush through your
hair. This is because the hair is more porous than the skin
and absorbs the perfume quickly and effectively.
4.
Another means of making a fragrance last is to scent your
clothes, as well as your bed linens.
5.
Many designer perfume houses advise that you spray
the fragrance of perfume into the air a few inches in front
of you, then step into the perfumed mist you have created
for a subtle effect.

Perfume
This
is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the
scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and
round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution
represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau
de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance.
Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent
of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest,
and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau
de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means
of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as
highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume
would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils.
This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around
eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate
within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau
de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by
Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different
manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated
in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s
or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin
and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should
be worn as a invigorating spray.
