Perfume

[asterroc]

So, um, I got a bottle of perfume from a friend for my birthday. I've never used perfume before. It's a really nice apple-y one, but I have no clue how much to put on or where, or when, or if I'll be allergic to it. Any tips from the more girly on my friendslist?

How's the strength of perfume compare to that of a body spray?

very much stronger. body spray is meant to be sprayed all over...if your perfume is a spray kind, one spray behind your ears and on your neck would be enough, equivalent to a couple drops.

Perfume is *much* more powerful than body spray.

Cologne and body sprays usually have some alcohol in them and that evaporates very quickly and takes away much of the scent. Perfumes (if it is a true perfume) is more concentrated, so it lasts much longer and a little bit goes a very long way. Also, because of the alcohol, a perfume of the same scent usually smells much different than cologne or body spray of the same scent.
