Where should you spray perfume and how can you make its scent last longer?
Perfume use is an art, in which not only the choice of fragrance, but also the method of application is key. In order for our perfume to remain noticeable all day and to be optimally effective, it is worth considering which parts of the body we spray it on, as well as using some practices to enhance the effect. It is recommended to use quality fragrances with a high concentration of perfume oil, such as Nichery perfumes .
Where should you spray perfume?
Certain points on our bodies retain and release fragrance better, especially areas where the skin is thinner and blood circulation is stronger. These pulse points are:
-
Wrist – A classic spot because the skin on the wrist is thin and body heat helps release fragrance molecules.
-
Neck and nape of the neck – The scent spreads more easily here, and if someone leans close to us, they can smell the pleasant aroma.
-
Area behind the ear – One of the best spots, as body heat helps release the scent here too.
-
Elbow – Works on a similar principle to the wrist and is less exposed to external influences.
-
Chest – If you want the scent to last discreetly but for a long time, the chest is an excellent choice.
-
Around your waist and navel – A lesser-known but extremely effective body part, as body heat here optimally activates the perfume.
-
Knees and ankles – The scent sprayed on the lower body gradually rises upwards, remaining perceptible for a longer period of time.
Tips to increase the longevity of your perfume
-
Apply to moisturized skin – Dry skin evaporates fragrance faster, so it's a good idea to apply a fragrance-free body lotion to your skin before applying perfume.
-
Don't rub your wrists together - A common mistake people make is rubbing their wrists together after applying perfume. However, this breaks down the fragrance molecules and shortens the longevity of the scent.
-
You can also spray it on your clothes – Although the warmth of your skin helps the scent to develop, the fibers of your clothes will retain the scent for longer. It is also worth spraying it on a scarf, coat collar, or sweater.
-
It can also be effective when sprayed on hair – Hair retains the scent for a long time, but be careful not to use alcohol-containing perfume directly on hair as it can dry it out.
-
Layer the scent – If you have a body lotion or shower gel with the same scent, it's worth using that too, so the scent will be more intense and longer lasting.
-
Store perfume properly – Heat, light, and air can accelerate the breakdown of fragrance molecules. It is best to store perfume in a cool, dark place, preferably in its original bottle.
-
Use Vaseline – Applying a little Vaseline to your pulse points before applying perfume will help the scent last longer on your skin.
