Where to Spray Perfume?
Want to make perfume last longer? Here are 8 Amazing Hacks to Long Lasting Perfume.
How to apply perfume correctly?
Keep these 2 points in mind.
1. Spraying perfume in the air and walking through it is so classy and elegant, but it is not. You don’t want to waste your expensive (or even non-expensive!) perfume like that.
This technique of application causes perfume to fade quickly. You should apply fragrance at the right spots for the best result.
2. Rubbing is the classic way to apply perfume. We have seen it everywhere: in movies, dramas, or whatever you binge.
But let me be the bearer of this not-so-good news, rubbing is a no-go. Rubbing perfume is a no-go. There, I fixed it for you.
On the contrary, it eliminates the fragrance faster and we don’t want that because my bottle is expensive.
It would be best if you sprayed separately at all the spraying zones.
One of my girlfriends applies perfume on her ankles and it works for her. She is that feminine character girly we all adore. Meanwhile, I am a sneaker person at most times.
The 7 best areas to wear perfume are listed below.
1. Wrist
As you would already know, the wrist is one of the best spots to apply perfume. Why though?
It is because of the pulse point. Wrists are one of the pulse points and spritzing perfume on the pulse point does the real magic.
When fragrance is applied to any pulse point, it helps to circulate the fragrance into the air. This way the fragrance lingers throughout the day.
We all are tempted to spray perfume, on wrists generally, and rub them against each other for better absorption because that’s how it is supposed to work.
News Flash – Rubbing wrists together intensifies the scent – is a myth. Instead, it actually breaks down the fragrance molecules.
2. Neck Nape
A great spot for your cologne is the back of the neck, right below the hair. Fragrance lingers for long through your hair, no matter if it’s tied up or loose down.
3. Collarbone
Avoid chest area for perfume as it can potentially lead to aging and wrinkles as the skin is sensitive over there.
Instead, go for edges of the collarbone. The fragrance is much more lasting there.
4. Inner Elbows
You want to trap the scent of cologne, instead of it fading away. Inner elbows is a nice perfume spot.
It tends to get sweaty, raising the blood circulation. Perfume works well in such spots and keeps the sweating in check.
5. Waist Sides
Avoid applying perfume near the belly button area.
Got any of those waist cut out bikinis? Yep, that’s another spot for perfume.
Side of the waist is what you should be aiming for. Fragrance lingers long, effectively better than regularly applied, stomach area.
6. Behind the Knees
Similar to inner elbows, behind the knees is another smart place to spritz your perfume if you want long lasting fragrance.
7. Behind the Ears
Now this is considered one of the good perfume spots by some while not so much by others. I say it depends. I am not a fan of this spot personally. Hello, sensitivity. But if this works for you, go for it.
When someone approaches or greets you, they go for a quick hug, and spritzing perfume behind the ears makes sense. It also lasts longer there.
But if you wear shades, specs or have sensitive skin over there, you can skip it.
