    Back in the 80s, spraying behind the knees was also mentioned in fashion magazines, because as fragrance tends to rise, a lower point of application helps to cover more of the body in a subtle way.

    I wonder why that perfume tip disappeared?

      Maybe it’s not true?

      I would thinn scents tend to sink, not rise, or best case they just disperse and given the volume of a sphere goes up at a rate of r^3 you just want the scent to be as close to other people’s noses as possible.
