Tip: Fragrances last particularly long if you apply them directly to the skin, for example on the wrist, neck, in the crook of the arm or in the décolleté – ideally close to the shower when the pores are open. It is best to put on jewelry after applying the fragrance, as not all jewelry tolerates spraying. And: perfume usually lasts longer than eau de toilette.
