1. Strength of the perfume: General preference is to use light scented ones in the day and stronger smelling ones for evenings and special occasions. Eau de toilet (or “toilet water”) has light fragrance and can be used on a daily basis. Eau de parfum is oil based and has stronger smell and will cling on to the clothes of skin. The smell will linger around for hours together. This is best for evening dress.

2. Form of fragrance: Some people prefer to carry a scented sachet in their pocket or purse while others like to dab little of Eau de toilet on the back of the knees, ears or on the hem of the skirt, slacks etc. Some prefer to wear fragrant body cream or lotion before wearing their dress. A combination of these could be tried too.

3. Fragrance Types: Its best to use different fragrance for different occasions. A talc odor would suit professional dress, sweet lilac would be appropriate for every day wear. A strong yet sweet smelling floral fragrance would suit evenings and for exotic occasions, spicy oriental or hint of musk will do the magic. It’s best to keep looking out for new fragrances in the stores and try a sample of it.
