The Art of Perfume Application

Applying Perfume Like a Pro

You've chosen the perfect fragrance concentration, but do you know how to apply it for maximum effect? Proper application is key to making your scent last longer and leave a memorable trace. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Start with Clean Skin

Before applying any fragrance, ensure your skin is clean and moisturized. Perfume adheres better to hydrated skin. Consider using an unscented lotion as a base.

Target Pulse Points

Pulse points emit heat, which helps diffuse the scent throughout the day. Apply perfume to these areas: wrists, neck, inside of elbows, behind the knees, and décolletage.

Don't Rub, Dab

Avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume. This can crush the scent molecules and reduce its longevity. Instead, gently dab your wrists together.

Consider Hair and Clothing

Spraying perfume lightly on your hair and clothing can prolong the fragrance. However, be cautious with delicate fabrics, as some fragrances may stain.

Less Is More

Remember, a little goes a long way with perfume. Overapplication can be overpowering and may even irritate those around you. Start with a light touch and add more if needed.
