Are you wondering why your favorite perfume doesn't seem quite the same the past few months? It's not your imagination! In the winter, perfume must able to penetrate layers and layers of clothing. So the quick little spritz you used in June before running out the door is not going to have the same staying power in January.
Also, a light floral spray that was fabulous a few months ago is not going to stand out as much in the winter under your wool coat and hat. A heavier scent, like a wood or musk, is much more in keeping with the weather and what you will be wearing to keep warm.
To help the fragrance permeate all the clothes covering your skin, perfumes should be used on our skin's "warm spots." This is where blood vessels are most abundant near the skin and give off the warmth of your body. They are situated behind your ears, under your arms, at the wrists, in the inner part of elbows and near the collar-bone. Think of these spots as small working fragrance atomizers.
Winter perfumes have scents that reflect the scenes of cold days and wintry holidays. It could even have a spicy or woody scent to remind us of desserts or nights in front of the fireplace. Some winter fragrances can have subtle scents that provide sexy warmth.
Wear a fragrance that is for the winter and works distinctly for you. Make sure you apply it in enough quantity to come through your big sweaters and scarves. Put a little extra on your wrists and neck and you'll smell great all winter long.
