Is Your Perfume Too Strong?

[amarock]

Hmm, so the article is saying that walking through a mist of the perfume isn't going to work? But that's what I do! I wear Dior Addict and I worry all the time about applying too much, but I only spray the air and walk through the mist in the morning one and then I'm done for the day (usually I forget to reapply anyway). So, I've got to find my pulse point, huh... well, that's why I like those Body Shop oils, it's easier to control the little dab of oil. Thanks for posting that article! Sometimes I wonder if people have something to hide when they wear too much perfume, ew.

That is good info. I also heard that you are not supposed to rub in the perfume because it breaks up the molecules and makes the scent less potent. I always try not to over do it with perfume because I smell people all the time with that strong perfume and it just gives me a headache.

Yup, I've heard this too... it can also alter the scent as it "bruises" the perfume when you do that - so no wrist rubbing !

ever since i was younger my mother has always told me that when you put on perfume, if after 10minutes YOU can smell it yourself, you're wearing too much.
