You Stink Good
That’s what my favorite cousin always says to me. It’s because I have favorite perfumes and colognes that have become my signature. Unfortunately, my taste runs to the more expensive, and as you know, I prefer to spend my money on things like travel. So, what’s a woman who loves the finest to do?
Find your signature scents
I hate wasting money…especially on expensive perfumes. One of the things that I do as I walk through the mall is choose a new fragrance each time and give myself a little spritz. I find that I can’t tell just by smelling it as it wafts through the air, and I like to see how a perfume works with my chemical makeup, how long it lasts, and if I even LIKE it after a few hours.
Learn how to use fragrance to make it last
I used to grab my atomizer and spray cologne, or dab a little perfume on my wrists and behind my ears. But, what would happen is that the scent would be SO STRONG at first, and I didn’t notice it within an hour.
- Start with a soap in the same scent or use one that’s unscented. You don’t want a clash of scents. If your signature scent does not come in a soap formula, find an unscented shower gel and add your PERFUME (not cologne) to it.
- Use a body lotion in the same scent. Again, if your favorite perfume doesn’t make a lotion, buy unscented and add perfume to it.
- Alternate by adding your perfume to an unscented oil. I use unscented sesame oil and add drops of perfume to it.
- On days that I’m just running errands I’ll spray cologne immediately after getting out of the shower. The warmth and moisture will lock in the scent.
- Go all out with perfume when you’re going to be in a group setting.
- Spray your brush with cologne before brushing your hair.
Don’ts
- Don’t rub your wrists together after dabbing perfume. It will actually force the top notes to disappear faster.
- Don’t OVERDO your scent. You want subtle and beautiful.
Saving with Fragrance.com
A good perfume can put a major dent in your pocketbook. I may try my scents in the department store, but when it comes to buying I go to Fragrance.com to save money on high quality fragrances. I recently purchased Flowerbomb as my daughter-in-law LOVES the scent. I had priced it out at the mall for around $75 for the small bottle, but found it at Fragrance.com for under $55.

I’m hoping that Allyson is too busy to read this post, because I ordered the Flowerbomb for her. In the future, I think that I’ll just order one of the Fragrance.com gift cards and let her pick out other Flowerbomb products to layer along with it.
