In your hair If you have sensitive skin, hair mists make a nice alternative to alcohol based eau de parfum as they’re less likely to irritate. They’re also a great option if you have a winter sun holiday on the horizon, as traditional perfumes can react badly to strong UV exposure. Try V05 Rose Remix Hair Perfume, £2.95. 1

Pop a balm in your bag Solid perfumes are perfect for on-the-go as they’ll sit happily in your handbag without leaking and have pleasingly subtle silage (perfume jargon for the trail the fragrance leaves behind). Try spicy and woody Crabtree & Evelyn Solid Perfume Balm in Femme de Force, £22, on your pulse points. 2

Mist it on Much like a full face of make-up, some days you just don’t feel like wearing a heavy perfume. Instead, spritz on beyonddelicious Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Fragranced Body Mist, £18, Space NK. It smells nutty, sweet and sexy but won’t knock out whoever sits next to you. 3

WEAR perfume 10 ways to

Work some fragrance into your life with these fun updates

Pick & mix If you’re looking for a signature scent and don’t want to smell like everyone else, why not layer up single note perfumes to create something totally unique? We love H&M’s singular scents, like Vanilla, Peach and Petals, £4.99 each. 4

Try a light touch If you like the idea of fragranced body creams for a subtle hit of scent, try The Body Shop’s Body Yogurts, £8.50. They have a light and refreshing texture that plumps and smooths and are quickly absorbed by thirsty skin. There are lots of delicious scents, but classic British Rose is particularly nice. 5

Oil up High-end fragrance brands often create body oils at friendlier prices than their perfumes. Diptyque Satin Oil for Body and Hair, £36, John Lewis & Partners, smells and feels like pure luxury, leaving your skin ultra-soft and deliciously scented all day. If you have time, slather it on liberally after a bath then lounge around in a robe for half an hour for perfect spa vibes. 6
