1. Mariana Leung: Founder and Editor of Ms. FABulous Media (http://www.msfabulous.com)
“You want to give just the right amount of fragrance and not let it overpower you. For best application, I find it best to spritz the perfume in the air and walk through the cloud to distribute the scent evenly. Don't splash it on less than a half hour before you walk out the door."
2. Nicole Gordon Levine: Senior Beauty Editor at BeautyStat.com (http:www.beautystat.com)
"Other noses may be sensitive to your smell, (they may actually be allergic) so when spraying, dabbing, misting- go ever so lightly and reapply later in the day if you feel like you need a refresher. I dab a few spots of mine on my wrists and behind both my ears and knees. Just a dab, not a cap full! You may want to be known for your scent, but not for your overbearing waft of scent.”
3. Chennill Proskourine Blogger Behind Pramache.com (http://www.pramache.com/)
"When buying a lighter scent, consider buying the shower gel and lotion variant in order to layer the scent. This will ensure that it lasts all day."
4. Illysia Neumann-Loreck: Fashion Stylist and Publisher Of MadlyChic.com (http://www.madlychic.com)
“Always pay attention to the seasons when wearing perfume. Use a lighter fragrance during the spring/summer and a heavier one during the fall/winter.”
5. Heather Neisworth: Style and Beauty Blogger (http://heatherneisworth.com/)
"Going on a big interview or a first date is a good opportunity to show your personal brand, but not a good time to wear your favorite oriental fragrance. Tone down the intensity, and wear a lighter fragrance like a soft floral or green note to an important event so your personality (and not your fragrance) will be positively remembered."
