9 Places To Apply Perfume...continued


5. In Your Belly Button
Your navel is useful for more than just belly piercings. Dab a few drops of perfume on the spot if you're wearing a midriff-baring crop top or bikini. "Any area on your body that radiates heat will enhance a scent, and your belly button does just that," says Caisse.

7. Behind Your Knees
The soft area behind your knees is another one of those pulse points perfect for perfume. Throughout the day the scent will kick up as you cross your legs and move around, especially if you're wearing a dress. "Knees are great for summer since they're exposed," says Caisse. "The back of knees are warmer and softer and therefore capture a strong scent."

7. Down Your Calves
If you’re wearing shorts or a leg-revealing dress, spritz fragrance along the inside of your thighs and calves. The friction between your legs as you walk will create warmth and reinvigorate the scent throughout the day.

8. On Your Ankles
Before you slip on your favorite pair of stiletto heels, give your feet a blast of perfume. "Your ankles are always in motion, so it helps project the fragrance wherever you go," says Caisse. "It continues the scent from head to toe."

9. On Your Clothes
Caisse recommends applying your scent on your body before putting on your clothes, so that the fragrance can absorb into your skin. However, spritzing your wool and cashmere clothes with fragrance can help achieve a longer lasting scent, too.

The Origins of Beauty in Modern Days

For much of the Western world, notions of beauty date back to the ancient Greeks. Classicist David Konstan, says we owe our healthy and unhealthy notions of beauty in many cases to the artists and geniuses of Athens. The key to understanding it all ultimately comes down to a single word. For many years, Konstan says, scholars didn’t think that the Greeks had a specific concept of beauty. As far as they knew, there was only the all-purpose word kalós , which was often used to mean good. It wasn’t until Konstan began studying the similar and lesser-known word kallos that the real notion of Greek beauty became clear. “When God created the world, he looked at the world and he said it is good. In Greek, that's translated to the adjective kalós . God didn't mean it's beautiful, he meant it's a fine piece of work,” Konstan says. “Whereas kallos does, interestingly enough, have a corresponding word in Hebrew, which also refers very specifically to physical att
