The correct way to use perfume

Many people prefer the wrist as the place to apply perfume. The reason for applying perfume to the wrist is that it is where the pulse beats. Since fragrance rises from bottom to top, it is best to apply long-lasting perfumes mainly to the lower body, whereas for lighter perfumes, applying them to areas with higher body temperature and pulses allows the scent to spread subtly and last longer.

​

It is said that spraying on the outside of the wrist when wearing sleeves prevents it from getting dirty quickly and allows the scent to be effectively transferred to others. When wearing short sleeves, the outer part of the arm where the elbow is exposed is ideal. This area maintains a consistent pH level and does not sweat excessively, making it a good location.

Perfume should be applied directly to bare skin before putting on clothes to prevent it from mixing with other scents or body odor. Also, it is best to avoid spraying it in inappropriate places or on areas prone to sweating, as this can result in an unpleasant scent. If you plan to spray it on your wrists again, it is recommended to wash them with soap beforehand.

While the longevity of perfume is not proportional to temperature, lowered body temperature and dry skin can affect the scent and its duration.

Especially in summer, use a light perfume because the volatility of perfume particles decreases, which can make the scent feel strong. On the other hand, in winter, we use concentrated perfumes because the scent can easily evaporate.

For long hair, I recommend lightly spraying perfume onto a brush and brushing your hair. This is effective because the scent diffuses as the hair blows. That is why spray-on perfumes are so popular these days! However, please note one thing: if you blow-dry your hair after applying perfume, remember that the airflow should be cool.
