If you're the bride-to-be, you'll want to look and feel your very best on your wed- ding day. From the minute that special day begins until you fly away on a romantic honeymoon, everyone sur- rounding you will remem- ber "the beautiful bride" . if you follow a few easy tips. Dolores Oison, fra- grance specialist for Par- fums Givenchy offers ad- vice on choosing fragrances and using them to your best advantage. Oison suggests testing two or three new scents by dabbing one scent on each wrist and one at the bend of the elbow. Try only three at a time: dab on, air dry, then sniff later, after your body chemistry has had time to react. Selecting a fragrance that matches your personality and wedding theme is very important, reminds Oison. if you are a free-spirited, savvy bride with a con- temporary wedding, Given- chy III goes with your new married life. If you're so- phisticated and wedding bells are ringing out a tra- ditional tune, pamper your- self with Le De Givenchy, a mingling of woodsy and flo- ral notes. Immerse yourself in L' Interdit if you're a true romantic. It's a most dar- ing, complex and sensuous fragrance! For a lasting effect, use your favorite fragrance in a variety of forms, suggests Oison. "The layering of a fragrance is an excellent method for retaining the scent, especially if your skin is dry. Dry skin loses a scent rather quickly," says Oison. Start the day by relaxing in a tub of foaming milk bath and use a bath gele'e instead of soap. Bath gelée lathers up for a fragrant bath and soothes the skin, unlike soap, which can make skin dry and flaky. Pat dry, and while you're still slightly damp, use a refreshing, shower-bath oil spray.

Follow the bath with splashes of eau de toilette all over. Then, the final, most important touch is perfume. Many women are afraid of perfume, says Olson. How- ever, she adds, contrary to what most women think, perfume is not stronger in intensity, it just lasts longer. Apply perfume only at the pulse points-neck, throat, bosom, wrists, knees and ankles. Olson stresses the importance of applying it on the lower portions of the body, because the scent rises with heat, and the longevity is enhanced. One final hint for the bride-to-be: keep a spray bottle of eau de toilette or perfume handy for fresh- ening up throughout the busy day. And, best wishes!t Happiness is as a butter- fly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. -Nathaniel Hawthorne WHITBY FREE PRESS BRIDAL SUPPLEMENT, WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 1980, PAGJE3 igean iso give clothimg, chima Gitor crystal, perfunie and Wedding Party jewelry boxes if she pref'ers.
