The art of smelling good: KNOW YOUR PERFUMES.

Smelling good always is a task. Believe me it's not easy to smell fresh all the time during your day at work or during your college hours and if your day involves travelling in public transport,then God bless you!!
If you can't spare anytime in between then try some of these tips to make your fragrances last longer.

1. TAKE A BATH: Now this goes without saying that you need to wash that stank off.

2. WHAT TO USE IN THE SHOWER:
There are two ways to go about it::
If you can afford, try having same kind of scents for all your products, which includes your body wash, moisturizer etc. So that you are building up on the same type of fragrance instead of using different types of scents which will  not be very flattering OR you can use a normal unscented soap/ bodywash follow it up with an unscented /mildly scented  moisturizer then use your favourite perfume.

3. DEODRANTS AND PERFUMES:
Depending on how much you sweat or how long you are going to be out, decide whether or not to use a deodorant.
Perfumes on the other hand are very important if you want to smell good.
There is a whole new chapter on how to choose and how to apply perfume.

*Know your fragrances. Read the bottles for eau de toilette,
eau de parfum and
eau de cologne.

The more the concentration of oils the more expensive the perfume and the more is the staying power.

Toilette is  considered as aromatic water or refreshing water which lasts for 3 to 4 hours.

Parfum stays on for 6-7 hours and

 cologne is a less concentrated (affordable) version of a perfume.

* Do not buy a perfume just because your friend is using the same type. Test it on yourself first.

*While applying perfume on your body try not to rub your wrists and then use the left over on your neck. This way the molecules get distorted and the scent might not last long.

*Try spraying perfume after you have applied moisturizer, this way the molecules will stick for long.

*Apply a thin coat of Vaseline on the areas like your wrist, behind your ear and spray over it.

*Do not spray on your clothes, you might stain them.

* Apart from the usual you can also spritz some of that goodness behind your ear, on your earlobes and in your hairs for that lingering effect.
Do not directly spray on hairs. Spray on your comb and then run it through.

*Buy a good quality perfume and while you are at it, buy a travel size variant to always keep it in your purse and touch up during the day.

Ever since I started using perfumes properly, I have used ZARA perfumes. Yes they are a bit expensive but I have had skin burns from  the previous ones I used and ZARA Compared to other high end brands have some decent perfumes with decent prices.
Here are some of the perfumes I use

MRP: Rs 1500
Very mild pleasant frangrance, stays for a good 4-5 hours and lingers on for another 2 hours. Your clothes will carry the scent till the day you wash them.
ThOUGH it is a little expensive for me too but trust me this one is worth your money. It doesn't harm your skin in any way and this 100 ml bottle will last for a whole year.

MRP: 800 rps
I mostly like it for it's packaging. It is a fun fragrance which is quite strong for the first 2 hours and then starts to fade.
You can wear this fragrance on a dinner or lunch date and you will be good to go.
For day to night purposes you might want to touch up 2-3 times during the day.

Though Zara is not available in Jammu but you can definitely get your hands on them whenever you are in a city having Zara store.
