Fragrances are made up of alcohol, water, and fragrance oil. Each fragrance has its own specific ingredient added to give it its unique scent. A fragrance can contain anywhere from 10 to 250 ingredients.

You should not spray the fragrance directly to your clothes, as this may leave permanent stains. You can apply the perfume to your bodies pulse points, such as wrist, behind the ear lobes, and inside the elbow bands. Since fragrances contain alcohol that rises with heat, apply some in the back of your knees for maximum effect. In addition, the amount of fragrance applied will differ for each person due to skin structure and surface.

Spray bottle is a little easier to use and is typically available for all fragrances excep for pure perfumes.
