- èst elope perfume - shelf life is 4 years at 7°C (standard fridge).Outside a fridge is 2 years. This is the glorious nature of the perfume - you will be amazed at the purchase and you'll be forever associated with the scent. As the perfume has settled in the bottle in transit, please shake before use.
- Always consider the temperature around you when applying perfume. If it is cold, your fragrance will need to be renewed every three hours or so. In a hotter climate, the scent will last much longer. Don't try to transfer a scent to a plastic bottle for travelling - it tends to evaporate through plastic and you may lose it all.
- Always travel with a purse spray or a small sealed bottle that's not plastic.
- Please keep perfume away from heat and direct sunlight and make sure the lid is on firmly to keep it at its best. This is because the photosensitivity of the perfume can cause sunburn and leave permanent marks on your skin. The brown spots on your neck from sun exposure may alarm you unduly. The less you expose the perfume to the air, the longer it will last. This includes on and off with the container's cap. Store perfume tightly capped in a cool dark place, such as the fridge especially during hot summer months. By doing so, you slow the process of oxidation, which breaks down the scent and inhibits bacterial presence. Increased volume of air in a perfume bottle, as the when the bottle is used up, tends to also weaken the scent by allowing more empty space for oxidation.
- Èst perfumes are preferred over refillable bottles for this reason; the cap is seldom removed. Sunlight can also cause chemical reactions and change the nature of the perfume.
- Avoid applying perfume directly on clothes. It can damage certain fabrics, especially silks or furs.
- Please do not use perfume internally, such as taking perfume as a medicine.
For social occasions, you may feel you are “competing” with several other perfumes in the room. You can apply èst perfume to your body's pulse points (where the heartbeat is apparent): inside your ankles, on your wrists, behind your knees, at the nape of your neck (base of the throat), behind the ear lobes, the bend in your elbows, and the décolletage area.
Applying èst perfume to the back of your neck helps when you're wearing your hair down, as your hair soaks up some of the scent and makes it last longer. If you apply it to the backs of your knees a little scent escapes as you walk. Try not to apply to all pulse points: try one wrist, and the décolletage area. One quick dab èst perfume equals 0.2 ml or a small drop. Two quick dabs for a day means 0.4 ml per day. For amazing results and dreamy attraction, just focus on your décolletage area. Put a quick dab on a cotton ball and place it in your bra. Daily activity will generate sweat and heat between your breasts which brings out the aroma of the perfume. Careful, because too much perfume and you will be overpowered all day long!
