Like With Perfume, I'm new at this but how can you apply it on you to make it stay longer? And how do you apply it?

Sparingly. A lot of people make the mistake of applying too much. A little bit goes a long way.
If you're dabbing... you would apply it to the pressure points. Commonly, behind the ears, the base of the neck, wrists, or even behind the knees (for some). If spraying...a little spritz to the sides of the neck is good.
Don't make the mistake of thinking your perfume has worn off and you need more. You can get used to the smell...it doesn't mean it's gone.

Ah. It's harder than you think. If you spray it about 6 times (especially with calvin klein products), you are *OVERDOING IT*. I put it in capitals because it is neither sexy or alluring. It just chokes people and puts off potentially good looking hotties. (Not that you are trying to do that, but you'd rather be attracting than *DE-tracting is what i'm saying :p). Take it from the Queer Eye for the Straight guy boys: Spray an arms' width away from you, then walk in the direction of it. Once or twice is enough.

If you have eau de toilette, (you can afford to be a bit more generous), eau de parfum is very strong though. The hint is this though: *less* is more. It is better for you to be sexily suggestive, as opposed to smelling like you bathed in it or just showered in it. One spray, see how it goes. All perfumes are different on different skins :).

Never spray perfume on clothes ,well if you don't have much of a choice then do so but bring the bottle a few meters away from the piece of clothing.
I use to put perfume on my tops then later on i would find little spots left on the top from the perfume even the channel and Britney spears did so.
have fun!

to make the perfume stay longer apply unscented lotion to the places you will apply the perfume. where to apply it depends on how strong it is. if it's a light scent you can spritz both wrists and on the neck, if it's a stronger smell i usually spritz a few sprays into the air and walk into it so the smell is distributed more evenly with out being to concentrated.
for a romantic date you can wear your hair down and spray your brush before running it through your hair.

Lightly wrists then pat your wrists to the sides of your neck

It's a case where less is more. I once new a person who would come into work and as soon as she opened the door you could smell her. She was never able to sneak up on anyone because her perfume arrived 5 minutes before she did. LOL

for day wear-spray a mist in the air and walk through it. Evenings, behind your ears, knees wrists and a dab on the throat. Anything else is tramps, and try to make sure your perfume matches your body chemistry so the scent develops overtime.

is it oil or a spray? for oils, I apply on the pressure/pulse points -- the inside of the wrists and behind the ears/ on neck. For the sprays, I spray pretty far away near my inner forearms and neck. Or I just spray a few times about a foot in front of myself and walk into it. That way it's fragrant but not overpowering.

I read spraying it in your hair is the new thing, but I would advise against this-- I think it's easy to spray too much into your hair.

Spray it on pulse points. One spray on each wrist, then dab your wrists on the sides of your neck. If you want a more subtle way, dab your wrists behind your ears. Lasts longer there and less noticeable unless someone's close to you.

Spray on your neck and wrists for the heat from your pulse will make this smell come out more. Keep it simple and don't over do it because you don't wan't it to be obvious. A few sprays and you will be all good.

A little goes a LONG way. Some like to spray it in the air in front of them and walk through it, like a mist. If you put it on your skin directly, you only need a dab or so.
