it really depends on the age and what mixes well with your body chemistry...you shouldn't buy an expensive perfume right off the rip, when I'm at the mall i will spray the perfume on my wrists, the inside of my elbows and behind my knees and in between my cleavage...those are areas of the body that produce the most heat and will give off the sent, opposed to just spraying it on your clothes with will eventually wear off and you'd be spraying spraying and wasting you money because you think you dint smell it but trust me...everybody else does. I will do my usual shopping and if I like how it smells by the time I'm ready to leave I go back and buy it.
