How many squirts of perfume do you wear?!

I see people putting 4 or 5 squirts but I think that would be too strong for me- especially during the day.
I can never smell my perfume and rarely get people commenting on it so am thinking it could be that I don't put enough on!!Grin

Behind both ears, both wrists, one in the cleavage. I may well reek Grin

valiumredhead · 01/12/2013 22:52

One squirt near each arm pit!

LaurieFairyCake · 01/12/2013 22:52

3 around the neck/cleavage, 1 on the wrists

pumpkinsweetie · 01/12/2013 22:53

Behind both ears, on each wrist, on my cleavage and a spritz in my hair too! So 6 sprays in allGrin

EmpireBiscuit · 01/12/2013 22:53

5, no wonder it doesn't last!

lifesgreatquestions · 01/12/2013 22:56

2 squirts. I think it depends on how good your sense of smell is, smoker friends always smell strongly of scent, in fact after a hug theirs often lingers on me!

3 - one behind each ear, one on left wrist. I must reek of it! I sometimes spray a cloud in the air, and walk through it like a right posh bird

themonsteratemyspacebar · 01/12/2013 23:19

4 - 2 on neck, 1 on wrist (and rubbed together) and one on my general torso area.

Can i ask what this whole behind the ears business is? Isn't that your hair?

Im worried that i'm clearly doing it wrong or missing a trick!

iklFaceOfBooe · 01/12/2013 23:42

Two - one on wrists, rubbed together & one on cleavage area.

MsWinnieBaygo · 01/12/2013 23:47

Three - one on each side of neck & one on wrists rubbed together

treaclesoda · 02/12/2013 00:02

three. one on each wrist and one on the neck/chest

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 02/12/2013 00:04
  1. 2 behind each ear, 2 in the inner elbows (that sounds sexy --not) and 2 on wrists. If it's a date than one extra between the boobs.
DrinkFeckArseGirls · 02/12/2013 00:07

Apparently you're not supposed to rub one squirt between two wrists as it disturbs molecular structure if the perfume and it does'n!t stay on as long.

smellylittleorange · 02/12/2013 00:08

There are a lot of people out there who reek, they obviously wear far too much makes me want to vomit it is so offensive sometimes.

MrsHoratioNelson · 02/12/2013 00:51

One, shared between both wrists and then smeared behind my ears. I never ceased to be amazed by the people who seem to down themselves in perfume, but now I see why. I was always taught that you shouldn't be able to smell your own perfume (because of the getting used to it thing).

Four squirts Shock

Grokette · 02/12/2013 03:44

Oh Lord. Am I the only person who sprays a squirt in the general direction of my arse? You know, so people have a guaranteed naice smell as I saunter waddle away?

buttercrumble · 02/12/2013 06:30

2 , one on neck and other on wrist then rubbed on the other

Morgause · 02/12/2013 06:42

I only use expensive perfume so less is more. A squirt on each wrist then rub wrists behind ears.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 02/12/2013 06:53

Just one and that is from arm's length towards my chest, or in front of me and walk through the mist, even then it sometimes smells too strong on me. A lot of people wear far too much IMO.

CuriosityCola · 02/12/2013 09:00

I do the same as whoknows. Maybe a second spray if its for a night out.

tweetytwat · 02/12/2013 09:02

Usually two. But I used several squirts of an old bottle of Intuition this am and it smells v rankSad

SandyDilbert · 02/12/2013 09:05

2 - apparently the only people to be able to smell your perfume are those you allow close enough. I remember working in a large office and women used to waft in first thing absolutely reeking of the hideous Poison - instant headache and nausea.

Naicecuppatea · 02/12/2013 09:09

Just one on my chest area, otherwise I'd reek!

yegodsandlittlefishes · 02/12/2013 09:11

It varies, but usually one on each side under my clothes.
