Apply:
Apply perfume to the wrists, neck, Inside elbow, Base of the neck, behind the knees and behind the ears. These are the pulse points and will help the scent to last longer as Pulse points emit the most heat, allowing the perfume to diffuse out from the body.
Avoid:
Rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume – the friction and heat increases the interaction between the perfume

True that. Perfumes do last longer when worn on moisturized skin but too often its tricky to find a moisturizer with similar fragrance and when two odds mix up they create disaster!
