Don't rub it in
Resist the temptation to rub your wrists together after spritzing. Perfume doesn't work like your skin care product and rubbing can actually break the notes and disturb the scent. Just let it sit on your skin after applying. You can also tap or dab lightly — but only if you really need to.

Properly store your perfumes
Perfumes are made with oils that are sensitive to direct sunlight — these oils will degrade over time if exposed to light. Keep your perfumes away from sunlight and store them in their original boxes when not in use. You should also avoid leaving your perfume in the bathroom — humidity is another factor that will break down the oils.
