Carolina Herrera 212 VIP 100ML The warmth of your own body intensifies the scent. For a longer-lasting, richer aroma, rub it into the wrinkles of your knees and elbows. Avoid rubbing or dabbing the skin after application. This causes the scent to break down, causing it to wear off faster. If you like to wear perfume on your wrists, be careful to reapply after regular hand-washing, as this might wash the aroma away.
