How a scent unfolds

Notes evaporate at different speeds. That's why a scent can smell sharp on the card and warm on your skin an hour later.

Where to wear it

Pulse points like the wrists and neck are warm, which helps a scent lift. Rubbing your wrists together is fine, but it speeds up the top notes.

How long each stage lasts depends on the perfume and your skin. Each bottle's own notes list says what's in it.
