How to make your fragrance last

Keep your scents about you -- all day and into the night.

By Anjali Kapoor

Perfume application
There are a few general rules for applying fragrance.

• Dab your perfume on pulse points like wrist, neck, under breasts and behind the knee -- these are all areas where blood flow is strongest and prompts the scent to waft away from the body.

• To lightly scent your hair, spritz the fragrance directly onto fingers and run lightly through your tresses.

• Never dab wrists together after applying perfume. "This can crush some of the layers of the perfume," says Sullivan. Instead dab or spritz each wrist and let it dry.

• Never apply your fragrance after putting on your clothing. "It's not good for natural fabric, and the perfume may take on a different smell on your clothing," Sullivan says.

• For special occasions, try a fragrance that contains silver or gold dust to add a subtle shimmer to the skin.
