Instructions:
Experience the full effect of Book Expressive by spritzing one to two times directly on your pulse points, such as your wrists, inner elbows, or sides of the neck. These warmer areas of the body act as natural diffusers, allowing the scent to envelop you. After application, allow the fragrance to air dry, as rubbing or dabbing can break down the fragrance and cause it to wear off more quickly. For those who wear fragrance on their wrists, it is recommended to reapply after frequent handwashing. To extend the shelf life of your bottle, be sure to properly store it by recapping after each use and avoiding direct sunlight.

Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum?
The difference lies in the volume of perfume oil. Eau de Toilette (EDT) contains five to nine percent perfume oil, while Eau de Parfum (EDP) contains more, usually eight to 14 percent. EDPs last longer and have a more intense scent, making Book Expressive Eau de Parfum the perfect choice for those who want a long-lasting fragrance experience.

About the Fragrance:
