Over-douse
yourself. S pritzing
yourself over and over
in the m o rning doesn’t
make a fragrance last all
day. Instead, reapply
sparingly at 6-hour
intervals. A nd as a rule,
perfum e should never be
noticeable beyond an
arm ’s length.

Combine your scents.
M ix up your fragrance
wardrobe by layering

original scent may emerge.

■ D O N ’T
Buy a fragrance
because you liked it on
someone else. Scents smell
differently on each person,
depending on her body
chemistry, how d ry or oily
her skin is, and even what
she ate for dinner the night
before. T ry it on your own
skin if possible.
■ D O N ’T
Buy perfum e on the
street. You can’t be sure o f
the source or even if it’s the
real thing, turning a bargain
into a blunder quickly.
