Inner elbow, wrist, ankles, back of hand,neck,and even a mist of spray in the air and walk through it to get a light mist to cover your body so that when you put your clothes on the scent will be on your clothes. I love this because when I remove my blouse the scent is there and lingers. Just one spray in the air is all thats needed.arg1971https://www.blogger.com/profile/05397339424684863389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-14426937719612940332016-06-11T03:51:39.274+01:002016-06-11T03:51:39.274+01:00i have 'roller ball' perfumes, and i worry...i have 'roller ball' perfumes, and i worry that because the roller ball comes in contact with my skin, that will cause a breakdown in the perfume/oil, and change the scent of the perfume. is it best to apply perfume with a cotton ball, or something similar, so the minerals and oils in your skin don't 'contaminate' the scent?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734249086494652011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-65586716242684527672015-12-14T09:10:53.037+00:002015-12-14T09:10:53.037+00:00I think spraying in the air and walking through th...I think spraying in the air and walking through the mist might be one way to avoid that (only a little bit rests on you and your clothes) though it might get costly :/<br />Another might be switching to the parfum extrait version which is almost always a dab on presentation, though that might be costly too (but in a different way, no waste).

Also thanks for the misspelling edits, they have slipped me and now they're corrected, thanks to you. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed and a great question.

Love and frequently use thierry mugler, acqua di gio, joop, azzaro silver black,bvlgari pour homme extreme and one million. They are all fairly strong. I do 2 shots to the large pulse points in front of the neck, 1 to the back of the neck and 1 to the chest.
