Did you know...

There is a proper way to test a fragrance? Begin by spraying the inner wrist from about a foot away. Immediately, drop your wrist and wait about 30 seconds. This permits the scent to settle on the skin and allows the alcohol to dry off releasing the "top note" of a fragrance. Next, bring your wrist to your nose and gently sway it under your nose inhaling with short sniffs. This will give you and initial idea of how the scent smells on your skin. Then, wait about 30 minutes before smelling your wrist again. This allows the scent to meld with your own personal skin chemistry and brings out the "bottom note" or "dry-down" of a fragrance. A scent can smell on one person and rather sharp on another, so if after a hour you still like the scent, buy it. It's the one for you!
