With perfume oil, it's generally good to put 3-4 drops on pulse points. Pulse points include your inner wrists, the crook of your elbows, and that little crook behind your earlobes. I usually do crook of elbow and behind earlobes.
Just a drop will do you. Don't rub your wrists together, it can make the perfume dissipate quicker.
This works well for most of them, but I put a drop
at most of Lust on. Usually half a drop. It's so strong on me. Can't imagine putting 4 drops. :yikes:
I use that drop on one wrist, transfer it to my wrists, the crook of my elbows, and a dab behind my neck. If I do a whole drop I dab it on my chest and inner thighs as well. That tiny amount lasts all day. I wear it all the time and my imp is still more than half full.
I wonder if your monthly cycle can change how it reacts too, like if you're on your period it smells one way and if you're ovulating it smells completely different?
Allie already answered this, but it definitely does. Lust smells bitter on me sometimes, and very sweet at others.
I'm doing a BPAL order today. YAY!
The list:
THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM
Bronze gears spin inside a polished wooden case, and an entire universe dances within. Teakwood, oak, black vanilla, and tobacco.
DRAGON'S HIDE
Flame-kissed, warm, smooth, and highly protective. Dragon’s blood, leather and a hint of smoke.
DESIRE
The overwhelming agony of passion crystallized into a singularly dark and magnetic blend: bittersweet neroli, black patchouli and black musk, gilded by apple, bergamot, blood red rose, teak, and vanilla.
LUST: in a 5ml bottle.
O:
The scent of sexual obsession, slavery to sensual pleasure, and the undercurrent of innocence defiled utterly. Amber and honey with a touch of vanilla.
SMOKESTACK
Grey-brown flue gasses belch from colossal steel and concrete monoliths, forming bloated clouds in the dusk-dark sky. Creosote, coal, and industrial waste.
DRAGON'S REVERIE
Opium-laced dreams of flame, plunder, power and fury: dragon’s blood resin, poppy, amber and ylang ylang.
