Staying Power

Q Which lasts longer: perfume or scented body lotion?

A “Ours both last about six hours,” says Jane Hendler of Ajne Rare & Precious in Carmel, California. Whichever you choose, apply post shower to max its lifespan, since fragrance particles cling best to moist skin. Put extra on your pulse points (neck, wrists)—the warmth there helps release the aroma.
