How to Apply Perfume Like a Pro
Master the art of fragrance application with these expert tips
Choose Your Pulse Points
Apply perfume to pulse points where blood vessels are close to the skin. These warm areas help diffuse the fragrance naturally.
Apply the Right Amount
Less is more with perfume. Start with 1-2 sprays and build up gradually. You want others to discover your scent, not be overwhelmed by it.
Spray from the Right Distance
Hold the bottle 6-8 inches away from your skin. This ensures even distribution without over-concentrating the fragrance in one area.
Don't Rub It In
After applying, let the perfume dry naturally. Rubbing can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent's development.
Layer for Longevity
Use matching body lotion or shower gel before applying perfume. This creates a base that helps the fragrance last longer on your skin.
Time It Right
Apply perfume to clean, moisturized skin. The best time is right after a shower when your skin is slightly damp and warm.
