Other Ways to Wear your Potions

Does a favorite potion seem to hate your skin but your nose craves it? Or does your favorite evaporate so fast that it leaves you scentless within an hour of application? These questions topped the list this month.

So what to do? Well in the case of the disappearing scent, the problem could be related to skin chemistry & your own body heat. The answer to both dilemmas is to keep the perfume near, but off your skin, simply & beautifully. One point to emphasize is that our potions (and natural perfumes in general), do not "evolve" so much when you use this method.  Yes, top notes will evaporate first, but you may find they last longer than with conventional skin application of the perfume.  The great news-without the heat of your skin volatilizing them, they last very, very long. 

Let's start at the top-Why not wear your perfume in your hair. Just dab a bit on the tips of the hair framing your face. Each time you move, the scent will fill the air...method will work with both short and long hair.

Next, why not wear your perfume in jewelry...lockets, earrings, pins, bracelets and rings with "pierced" metal designs or vials that have caps and hold small amounts of your precious potion. This method will give off the scent without any action on the part of the wearer; the scent is always wafting.

And finally,the bottom-your feet. Our feet are the least sensitive part of our body. This says it best... "When you anoint your head with perfume, it flies away in the air and birds only get the benefit of it, whilst if I rub it on my lower limbs it envelopes my whole body and gratefully ascends to my nose."
