Tips for Wearing Side Effect
- Spray on your pulse points: the neck, behind the ears and the inner wrists.
- Don’t rub your wrists together after spraying. Rubbing breaks the top notes.
- Two to three sprays are enough. Add one spray on your clothes for longer wear.
- Moisturize your skin with an unscented cream before spraying so it holds the fragrance longer.
How to Care for Your Fragrance
Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, ideally in its box inside a closet, not in the bathroom or the car. Close the cap tightly after each use.
