Avoid spraying on the wrist where one wears their watch as sometimes the fragrance of a leather strap could alter the fragrance that you are evaluating.\u00a0 Feel free to spray on hands and inner forearm.\r\n\r\nMake sure to wait at least a few minutes after you have applied the fragrance to begin your evaluation. This amount of time will allow the alcohol to evaporate and bring the perfume into clear focus on your skin.\r\n\r\nFor your personal evaluation, we suggest that you test one fragrance at a time.
