"Duck into a store and spritz myself with a perfume sample. But not just any fragrance, you see. There are rules to this. Now, first, I&amp;#x27;m not talking about covering up full-on B.O. here. No, more like on those days when it&amp;#x27;s hot and musty and you just smell like outside even in doors. Here are my rules: If I&amp;#x27;m not wearing a perfume already, I can just pick whatever I like and figure, hey, I&amp;#x27;m testing it out, too, so I&amp;#x27;m actually multi-tasking. It&amp;#x27;s when I&amp;#x27;m already wearing a perfume that things get tricky. Ideally, I would try to find a place that sells the one I put on. But that can prove difficult unless I happen to be by a department store. So, instead, I just try to find a single-note perfume that&amp;#x27;ll mesh with whatever scent I&amp;#x27;m wearing. If I&amp;#x27;m wearing a bright floral, I&amp;#x27;ll spray on a light citrus scent so I don&amp;#x27;t end up smelling flowery in a bad way. For softer, powdery florals, I recommend layering on something more musky. And if I&amp;#x27;m wearing something a fruity scent, I&amp;#x27;ll pick something that&amp;#x27;ll add a layer of freshness like a scent that smells like laundry. Oh and another piece of advice: Bath &amp;amp; Body Works and The Body Shop are great for this because they have so many light body sprays and one-notes to choose from. What do you guys do when you need to freshen up on hot days? Do you keep wipes, deodorant or perfumes in your purse? Do you find scented lotion works better? Do you never ever feel less than fresh (luck you, if so!)? Does perfume on hot days give you too much of a headache to care? Oh, and want to know how I freshen up in bars? I ask the bartender for a lime wedge and wipe it on my pulse points. Get Glamour Wherever You Go! Follow us on Twitter. Friend us on Facebook. Add us to your Google homepage.
