Suggestion #12: Dab carefully; Spritz often!

This suggestion refers to the nature of fragrances. Eau de toilette, which is very light, can and should be spritzed on with carefree abandon. The lighter notes will quickly evaporate and soon it will be time to spritz again. Typically less expensive than other forms of fragrance, it is easy to be generous.

Conversely, concentrated perfume should be dabbed on the pulse points more sparingly. Full strength perfume is very precious, like liquid gold, and should be treated with discretion and respect.

Similarly, in life, it is wonderful to share our light-hearted jokes, opinions and funny stories in the proper environment. On the other hand, it is important to be sensitive to the situation. It is best not to be flippant when the situation calls for diplomacy; likewise, one shouldn’t be a wet blanket when the situation calls for joy!

If in doubt, you can ask yourself: Is this an eau de toilette or perfume moment? And having answered that, you are sure to make the right choice!
