How to use
- Spray two to three times onto pulse points: throat, behind the ears and on the wrists.
- Allow the lavender-aldehyde-bergamot opening to settle without rubbing the wrists together.
- Layer with a neutral, unscented body lotion to extend longevity.
- Refresh once during the day if needed — typical of Eau de Toilette concentrations.
