"Uncommon Scents": Fragrance Dos and Donts

* DO wear more perfume if you have dry skin. Scent needs oils to last.

* DO wear stronger scents in cold weather. Cold reduces a scent's strength.

* DO wait ten minutes before deciding to buy a new scent.

* DO purchase a new scent late in the day, when your sense of smell is sharper.

* DO try scents on your own skin, as everyone's skin chemistry is different.

* DO choose what complements your natural body odor.

* DO apply perfume right after you shower or bathe. Your pores will be open and soak up the scent.

* DON'T use deodorant soap where perfume is applied.

* DON'T use perfume near pearl or costume jewelry. The alcohol in perfumes can cause pearls to yellow and can strip the coating off jewelry.

* DON'T sample more than two or three new scents at a time. Your olfactory senses will become confused.

* DON'T stick to one fragrance all year long. Temperatures affect the intensity of fragrance.
