How To Wear Perfume Like A Pro
Our Panel Of Insiders Reveal All…
Our in-house team of fragrance experts are here to show you how to get the most out of your beloved scent (with a few eye-opening pointers along the way!); from the best time of day to test out new fragrances to how to make them last longer.
Start Soul Searching
Fragrances are deeply personal. Try asking yourself a few questions like, ‘‘Where will I wear this – every day or for an event?’’ and ‘‘How do I want to feel? Glamorous, relaxed or holiday-ready?’’
Take Your Time
“My number one rule’’, says our Senior Brand Manager, Fanni Varkonyi, ‘‘is to always test the fragrance on your skin for at least a day before committing. Testing it on a blotter gives you an idea of the general vibe of a scent, but every fragrance can differ from one skin to another, and they develop over time.’’

Tips For Long-Lasting Perfume
Layer First
…With our matching Bath & Shower Gel and Body Lotion. This is because ‘‘scent holds better on clean, hydrated skin’’, explains our Fragrance Expert, Gemma Pinnock.
Where Do You Spray?
We all know about our wrists and neck, but Gemma says spritzing your ankles will help the fragrance to diffuse upwards with your body heat to create a scented veil. ‘‘Other key pulse points include inside the elbows and behind the knees, projecting your fragrance as you move.’’
The ultimate accessory: spray a silk scarf and tie it to your bag to leave an enticing, lingering fragrance trail, also known as ‘sillage’, as you walk by. We promise that heads will turn.
