Wearing perfume is not only spritzing a scent you like on your skin and going on with your day. Wearing perfume the right way is more than just that, it requires more finesse. Choosing the best fragrance depends on the environment in which it is worn and the outfit it accessorizes.
Did you know that the tendency of spraying your wrists, and then rubbing them together, is a very bad habit?
Here are a few more tips from our Fragrance Room experts to set you back on the right olfactory track and get you to leave a lasting impression:
Environment is key
Perfume is like a living organism and is very sensitive to environmental changes. Shifts in temperature set off chemical reactions that age the perfume faster. So while your Light Blue fragrance by Dolce & Gabbana looks like the perfect addition to your bathroom vanity, the steam in the bathroom will affect its freshness. UV rays also alter a perfume’s color. The best place to keep a fragrance is in its original packaging, at room temperature.
Spritz, don’t rub
Don’t rub perfume into your skin! This very bad habit crushes the molecules of the fragrance and weakens its scent. Where you apply your perfume matters as well. Mist your wrists, chest, behind the knees, behind the ear lobes and inner elbow and let the product sink in. These pulse points emanate heat, which activates the scent throughout the day.
Moisturize before spritzing
Scents fade faster on dry skin. Make sure to moisturize with either a complementary lotion to your fragrance, or an unscented moisturizer, to prevent interference. The best way of making your favorite perfume last longer is to use beauty products of the same range. Doing so will help you stand out with your signature fragrance.
Always keep it nice and subtle, do not overspray.
Choosing the right perfume and wearing it to the best of its ability is what matters most. Your fragrance will last longer and offer you the quality and satisfaction that you deserve.
