Perfume Application Tips

Posted on 27. May, 2009 by Kris Kirkland in Women's Health

After wearing perfume for a long time you’ll find that many people develop their own favorite preference for application locations and techniques. Many in the business think that when it comes to applying perfume there really is no wrong or right way. However, there are a few basic steps that you should follow to make sure you get the most out of your perfume purchase.

If there’s one thing that drives me crazy it’s the woman who wears too much perfume. After a long time you can almost become immune to the smell of your own perfume, giving others in your company a headache and even worse an asthma attack. It’s really important to remember that even though you might not be able to smell it, others will be very sensitive to even a small application.

Instead of spraying the perfume on your wrists and then rubbing them together, most experts agree that it’s better to let the perfume air dry. If you rub or dab the area where the perfume was applied the fragile and tiny perfume molecules are destroyed. This will create a different and perhaps less desirable scent.

You may also wonder whether or not it’s better to apply the perfume directly on your skin or walk through a cloud of fragrance. It depends on which scent you like better. The perfume will smell different depending on the surface where it’s applied. You skin has a different chemistry than your hair and clothes. You may also notice that perfume sprayed directly on your skin will have a more potent fragrance.

Which areas of the body are best to use for application? Popular options include inside the wrists, behind your knees, and even between the breasts. You’ll find that the perfume will take on a different scent depending on which application location you choose.

Some people like to test a perfume before spraying it directly on their skin. A good way to do this is to mist a tiny amount on your clothing. However, you need to be careful because depending on your fabric and the type of perfume there may be some staining. You may also like to smell your perfume even when not wearing it directly. To do so simply mist items like sheets, curtains, scarves, and gloves. Remember that there are more places to wear perfume than on your skin!

Trying to get rid of an unpleasant perfume odor? Try using unscented deodorant on the area or washing with liquid laundry detergent. You can use the laundry soap just like hand soap to wash the fragrance from your skin.
