How do you make your fragrance last all Christmas Day? Yardley has come up with these top tips. Eau de toilette fragrances should always be applied directly to skin and can be sprayed all over as a faint mist. For maximum staying power, apply perfume after your morning shower; target areas that radiate the most heat, such as the neck, wrists and chest and your body heat will gently emit your scent throughout the day – and don't forget hidden hot spots, behind the knees and around the ankles. Exude your scent from top to toe by applying your chosen fragrance lightly through your hair. The Yardley Heritage Fragrance Collection features Orange Blossom, Geranium and Hyacinth eau de toilette fragrances, each priced at £9.95 for 50ml in a floral gift box. From Boots, stockists on 01276 674 000 or www.yardleylondon.co.uk.

Peter's Andre's new scent Unconditional (for women) would be a great gift for either Team Pete members or for a cherished female friend or relative.

Can't imagine Katie Price wears it, though. It costs £14.99 for 30 ml online at www.theperfume shop.com, from Perfume Shop stores or from other stockists on 0845 601 1950.
