Spray on skin and let it dry. Rubbing your wrists together warms the top notes away before you have smelled them, and breaks the heart notes too early.
Pulse points work because they are warm: the inside of the wrists, the collarbone, behind the ears. Two sprays of an eau de parfum is plenty; one of an extrait.
Fabric holds scent longer than skin but changes it less, so a fresh fragrance like Figue Lumière is lovely on a scarf, while a warm one like Ambre Nuit needs skin to open.
