Spray onto dry skin, preferably after a warm shower on your pulse points (wrists, neck, inside elbows, below midriff, behind knees, and on calves and ankles). Applying an unscented oil/ lotion (i.e. Vaseline) before you spray will hold the scent better. Waiting for the scent to dry will give you its true scent as it reacts to your skin, and avoid it rubbing off when you dress. In that vein, NEVER rub your wrists together after spraying- the top notes will evaporate, changing the intended aroma. We strongly advise you keep your fragrance bottle away from humid, damp or bright places. These conditions will degrade and weaken the fragrance over time. Don’t shake the bottle; this can mix air into the scent and affect its quality. Instead of watering them down, those last few drops can be mixed into an unscented skin oil/ lotion, for a subtle scent. A few drops in cotton buds or baby powder can be a great way of releasing the scent more gradually. Both can be applied directly to the skin, while the former can also be strategically placed in clothes drawers and pockets. Lastly, if you want to apply the scent to your hair, NEVER spray it directly as it will dry it out; spray the comb instead.
