Citrus Perfume

With over hundreds of perfumes to choose from, it can be difficult to determine which scent is right for you. The best way to go about buying a perfume is to go to a department store that have a lot of test bottle perfumes so that you can test it on a piece of paper. After you have determine your favorite scents, spritz one scent on each arm. If a friend is with you, ask to borrow her arms. Try a variation of scents, like a citrus perfume on one arm and a vanilla one on the other. Then shop around for about 20 minutes and sniff your arm; by now the scent should have dried and what you are left with is the heart of the perfume. Also even if some perfumes smell nice on a piece of paper, it could react differently with your body.

Scents are generally broken down to four different categories:

• Floral perfumes: Popular scents include roses, freesia and honeysuckle.
• Citrus perfume: The most refreshing and clean smelling of the bunch, a citrus perfume is perfect for the upcoming hot summer weather. L’instant de Guerlain by Guerlain for Women Eau de Parfum spray is a favorite among perfume lovers.
• Spicy perfume: Cinnamon, ginger and orange peel are usually softened by vanilla to create a sexy, sultry perfume.
• Musk perfume: Soft and subtle, a musky scent can be both sexy and innocent.

Now that you’ve chosen a fragrance, be it a citrus perfume or a sweet one, you should try to make the most of it by learning how to apply it properly. To make a fragrance last long, you must apply it in layers. If your perfume comes with a body wash and lotion, like the Lancome “Tresor in love” set, definitely use it in order to make your perfume last. After a while you will not smell your perfume anymore but that is because your body is used to it, not because the smell has faded.

Where to apply:

1. On your wrists: Dab some perfume on your wrists and touch them together. You don’t really want to rub it as it could effect the smell.

2. Behind the ears: Spritz some citrus perfume twice on your wrists and touch it to the lower area behind your ear. This is a pulse point and having your refreshing scent close to your nose will help you stay awake throughout the day.

2. Behind your knee: If you are wearing a skirt or shorts, the area behind your knees is good because it is a warm area. This will help your fragrance spread over your body.
