According to Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, authors of Perfumes: The Guide, perfume is “a substitute for having an orchestra follow you about playing the theme song of your choice”, which is a lovely, romantic idea. But be careful not to have the orchestra playing too loud! Your fragrance should never dominate your surroundings.
In warmer weather, your body temperature will cause a perfume to expand, so its scent will become stronger. Fragrance also tends to cling to moist skin so, in summertime, less is best. A couple of spritzes should do it. Apply scent to the pulse points: behind the knees, your inner ankles and wrists, at the neck and/or behind your ears.

If you’re planning to treat yourself, have a professional blow-dry or a manicure and pedicure. It’s about grooming, rather than va-va-vooming.
