Do You Know How to Use Perfume Correctly?

Using perfume is not just about spraying it on the body; it’s an art that helps the fragrance disperse subtly and last longer. Here are some tips from SPPC Parfums to help you keep your favorite scent lingering throughout the day.

Choose the Right Time

Selecting the appropriate moment and occasion to spray your perfume is crucial. Each season and event calls for a different scent. For instance, at work, you should opt for lighter fragrances, while for a stroll, you can choose fresh and energetic scents. On warm days, light perfumes are preferable, whereas stronger fragrances are more suitable for cold weather or parties.

Spray After Showering

The best time to apply perfume is after showering and drying off. At this point, your skin is clean and moisturized, helping the fragrance molecules adhere better and disperse effectively. Additionally, when the surrounding air is still humid, the perfume mist will spread more evenly over the body, creating an enveloping scent.

Moisturize Before Spraying

To ensure that the perfume lasts, your skin needs to be hydrated. A layer of moisturizer will provide a good base for the fragrance molecules. After showering, spray a mist of perfume in front of you and walk into it, then apply moisturizer and spray additional perfume on pulse points. This method helps the scent last longer.

Coordinate Your Care Products

Using a complete care set with the same fragrance will maximize your scent’s allure. From exfoliators, body washes, and lotions to perfumes and oils, coordinating all products will help the scent last longer and prevent different fragrances from blending and altering the original perfume.

Choose the Right Application Spots

Spray perfume on pulse points such as behind the ears, under the neck, inside the elbows, wrists, and behind the knees. These areas have thinner skin and blood vessels close to the surface, which emit heat and help the fragrance diffuse strongly and last longer.

Avoid Rubbing Perfume

After spraying perfume, avoid rubbing it into the skin. The habit of rubbing your wrists together will cause the fragrance to dissipate more quickly. Let the perfume naturally diffuse by waiting about 5-10 seconds after spraying.

Scent Your Hair

Hair is a great place to hold fragrance, but avoid spraying directly as the alcohol in perfume can dry out your hair. Instead, spray the perfume on a comb, wait a few seconds for the alcohol to evaporate, and then comb your hair. This helps the scent disperse evenly without harming your hair.

Spray Just Enough

Just spraying perfume in the right spots and in moderation can keep you smelling great all day. Over-spraying not only wastes the product but can also make those around you uncomfortable. The ideal distance is 20-30 cm, and 2-4 sprays should suffice.

Travel Tips

If you travel frequently and want to avoid carrying multiple bottles, spray perfume on a cotton swab and place it in a small zip-lock bag. When needed, simply take out the swab and dab it on your skin.

By applying these small tips, you will always feel confident with an alluring fragrance throughout the day.
