Be careful about the perfume you choose as your own. Although your clothes, your hair style and your makeup proclaim how you wish to appear to others, your perfume, more immediately, will make an impression. You may not notice your elbows but others will. So keep them soft and scrubbed. Don’t spare the bath brush, and lubricate the rough spots with lotion after you’ve bathed.
