The art of perfume application is done completely wrong by many women, who cover themselves head to toe in a misty cloud of the substance. In fact this is one area where women should take a hint from men, who are not over-generous with the application of their cologne; they dab a little on their wrist area, a little on their neck, and off they go. Women should apply to the same areas, in addition to a little dab behind the ears, in the crooks of their arms and knees, and on their ankles. These are the areas of the body where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, and act as pumps for the perfume.
