Ideal way of wearing perfumes

Perfume is an integral part of one’s dressing today. With a variety of perfumes available for men and women, people are spoilt for choice, when it comes to picking the ideal fragrance. Irrespective of the kind of perfume you choose, you should know to carry your scent in style. Not many people are aware of the correct ways of wearing perfume today, which is why it often applied in the wrong method. Here are some points that will tell you the right way to wear your perfume, so that its scent lingers on your body, all day long.

Moisturise your body before applying perfumes

When your body is wet, it tends to absorb the fragrance of your perfume better and makes it stay for a long time – just like what you hoped for! You can apply perfume directly on your skin, immediately after your bath. When applying perfume during any other time of the day, first apply some moisturiser on the area where you want to spray perfume on. Allow it stay on for 30 seconds and then apply perfume to feel the difference. This is a simple trick, which most of us don’t follow.

Choose effective pulse points

Wearing perfumes on pulse points of your body (behind ear lobes, wrists, collar bone, behind knees, elbows, etc.) can make the scent last longer on your body. You will be able to feel the gentle fragrance emanating from you, all through the day. These pulse points are places where your skin is relatively warmer than other areas; therefore, the impact of your perfume will be more, when applied on these areas.

Applying perfume on hair

This may sound a little bizarre, but your hair is one of the effective carriers of fragrance in your body. Applying mild amounts of perfume on your hair strands can create magical effect on your overall fragrance.  Having said this, you should also remember that all perfumes have a certain amount of alcohol in them. So use them sparingly on hair, so that your strands do not become dull or dry. Alternatively, you could spray a little amount of perfume on your hair brush and then use it for your strands, to avoid direct exposure.

Technique of application

One common mistake that most people do while applying perfume is to rub the scent on their skin. If you have this habit, you are damaging your skin and you are nullifying the beautiful fragrance of your perfume as well. Rubbing causes the scent to mix with the natural odour of human skin. This completely distorts the original fragrance. So, you should always remember that spraying is the best technique for applying perfume on your skin.

You must have done lots of research in choosing the right perfume. If you don’t apply it the way it has to be done, the whole purpose of your scent gets defeated. Follow the tips mentioned above, wear your perfume in the right way and watch eyeballs rolling with envy as you pass by them.
