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