Spring is a time for fun and the outdoors.It is a time when flirty and feminine scents should be in the air. It is time for a fresh, new fragrance for the new season.

When choosing a perfume for spring, you don't have to look for one that is only suited for this season. Choose fragrances that capture the duality and the resonance of this beautiful season. Choose perfumes that can bring about spring at any time of the year.

Apply perfumes to pulse points such as the back of wrists, knees, neck and cleavage. Do not rub wrists together because this crushes the smell. Alternatively, you can spray a little into the air and then walk into the perfume. This diffuses the scent all over your body. Also, put a small ball of cotton wool dabbed with perfume in your bra.

To ensure that the perfume lasts longer, try layering. Use various products of the same perfume in the morning. Begin with shower or bath gel and then rub on body lotion. Finally apply perfume.

The use of body lotion makes you feel really scented and it is probably to do with starting at the feet and applying the scent all over, allowing the scent to rise. It also makes you feel extra special and pampered.

To ensure that perfume retains its scent and lasts longer, keep bottles tightly closed and away from direct heat and sunlight.

When they have gone off, you will not get the same heavenly scent when you spray or dab. The fragrance will also look darker in the bottle.

When choosing a perfume, test it in a store and then walk around for at least 10 minutes before you decide if it is the right fragrance for you. Some perfumes take half an hour or an hour to truly develop.

The time of having a signature scent has long past. Choose a fragrance to match any occasion. The perfume you apply when going to work must not be the same one you use when going out on a movie date.

Finally, dab on a little femininity, put on a skirt and heels and get ready to dance, with beautiful fragrances.
