The fragrance industry is "growing tremendously," said Tammy Underwood, men's fragrance specialist at for a department store in And there is a much larger selection of perfumes and colognes available now than a decade ago. Even after you make a purchase and go home the questions can still arise as you ponder the best places to apply your new. fragrance.

Resey Johnson, men's fragrance counter manager at one store, said fragrances do have different base scents. She said there are florals, such as Curve by Liz and citrus-based fragrances, like Tommy (Hilfige'r) for him, Tommy Girl and CK One. Vanilla-musk fragrances, suth as CK Be, Obsession, Opium for Men and Black Pearls by Elizabeth Taylor, are growing in popularity, Johnson said, explaining, "people like musk, people like vanilla." So which scent do you Although generally a matter of personal preference, there is at least one factor to consider. Johnson said individuals who are fair-skinned, such as redheads, would probably be better off going with a sandalwood-type scent. The reason, she said, is "a chemical thing." Just as people with fau complexions tend to burn easier than they tan, Johnson said she has found that light-weight floral fragrances don't last when worn by these individuals.

Once a fragrance has been selected, it's time to decide between perfume, parfume, eau de toilet or cologne. What's the difference? Perfume is "pure fragrance, pure oil," Johnson said. Parfume is "the way the French want to label it," she said, explaining this can be put into a spray form and may be five percent alcohol, although it is still a pretty pure fragrance. Eau de toilet can range from 32 percent to 80 percent alcohol, Johnson said. Cologne has about 80 percent alcohol, she said.

"As for staying power, it's the bottom of the list" Applying a spritz or two of perfume sounds obviously simple. But to get the most out of your fragrance, there are some tips to remember. If you apply a fragrance to your wrist, "don't rub your wrists together," Johnson said, explaining this can cause a fragrance to turn "rank." "It ruins the fragrance," she said. "That rubbing is definitely a no-no. Putting a fragrance behind the ear can also turn it rank, she said, adding that fragrance should be sprayed on your body from the neck down.

For men, Johnson recommended applying fragrance to the chest hair, on the legs or on the hair on the head. But, she said, "men should never take cologne or eau de toilet and put it on their face," as this can cause an irritation on the face. For women, Johnson suggested applying fragrance on the back of the knee and ankle, and she said both men and women can apply fragrance on the top of the ear, on the rounded part. "Spray fragrance in your hand and it will keep your palms from sweating," she said, and people will also remember you by your fragrance. "A lot of times when your- fra-.

grance doesn't stay on, you're not doing the body layering," Johnson said. Body layering includes using a shower gel, a body cream or lotion, a talc or body powder and then a fragrance or cologne. Although this may seem like it would be overpowering, Johnson said it is not "You are just preparing the body for the fragrance." She noted your body temperature usually rises about twice a day at about 6 and 9 p.m. and this can cause your fragrance to reactivate. One last tip from Johnson: "You're not supposed to be able to smell the fragrance you have on.

If you smell it, back off that bottle," because you have too much on.
