Everybody wants their scent to stand out, whether cologne, parfum, or eau de toilette. No matter what dosage of fragrance you use or where you spray it, it makes a difference in how long it lasts and how you feel throughout the day. People say pulse points are some of the best places to spray cologne. If you use perfume correctly, it will last longer, and you will need to reapply it less often.
Whether you choose a soft, floral scent or a heady, spicy one, these tips will help you put perfume on in the best places, including your hair and places you might not think of, like your pulse points.
What Are Pulse Points?
Pulse points are places on the skin where blood vessels are close to the surface. This makes heat that helps scents spread more evenly. Your pulse spots are the back of your knee, inner elbow, wrists, neck, and behind your ears. These places give off more body heat, which helps fragrances spread better and last longer. Depending on how strong your formula is, you may decide to apply perfume directly to one or two of your pulse points.
Where To Spray Perfume To Last Longer?
All five of these places on your body are very warm. Hold the bottle between three and six inches away for the best scent experience. Just two or four drops should be enough. Be careful not to use too much.
Behind the Ear
If you want your scent to stay around your face all day, spray it directly on the pulse point behind your ear. Spray some perfume on your ears if they are a little oily. The smell will stay on your head for hours because oil helps hold on to scents.
At the base of the Throat
Spraying perfume at the base of your Throat is a popular way to ensure your scent flows smoothly toward your face all day. Spray into the hollow at the base of your neck to keep the smell on a pulse point where it will slowly spread.
Behind the Knees
Even though it might be hard to use, this will help if your legs are showing. Since the back of your knees is a pulse point, putting your perfume there when you wear a dress will help it spread around your lower body. To make your scent last even longer, put on the fragrance right after you moisturize your legs after a shower.
On the Wrists
People often spritz perfume on their wrists, which can help keep the smell there. Giving each wrist a straight spray of perfume and letting it dry will give you a scent you can smell all day. Do not forget to rub perfume in! When you rub perfume into your skin, the molecules break apart, making the scent disappear faster.
Inside the Inner Elbow
This is a great place to ensure your scent lasts on hot days when your arms are out in the open. Just spray your perfume into the bend of your arm. Do not bend your arm until the perfume is dry so the smell doesn't fade.
Exceptional Areas To Apply Perfumes
If you want your perfume to stand out and last longer, try spraying it on a body part that you wouldn't normally use. Marilyn Monroe once said, "Wear perfume wherever you want to be kissed!" Find new and interesting places to spray your perfume next time you're getting ready, from your head to your toes.
In the Hair
People often forget that spraying perfume in their hair can make the smell last a long time. But be careful about how much alcohol is in your favorite cologne. Putting perfume with alcohol on your hair could hurt and dry them out. If your hair gets dry easily but still wants it to smell nice, try spraying your favorite scent on your hairbrush or comb.
Never spray perfume directly on your hair, especially eau de parfums that have a lot of alcohol and ethyl in them. Also, remember that the natural oils in your hair can change the way perfume smells, so only put it on hair that has just been cleaned.
On the Chest
If the top of your dress shows your chest, use that to your advantage by giving yourself a light scent boost. It won't last as long as a well-placed spray on your wrists, but it will still leave behind a soft, seductive scent.
On the Torso
Make the most of any belly exposure by spraying it quickly before you head out the door, just like you would with your chest. If you plan to tear up the dance floor, this could help you smell great through anything a night out offers.
Where To Spray Perfume On Clothes?
You can increase the sillage (the smell you leave behind) by spraying your clothes with perfume after spraying it on your skin. If you want your perfume to last as long as possible, spray it on natural fabrics like cotton, cashmere, silk, wool, or linen. If you don't want to stain your light-colored clothes, spray a cloud of perfume in front of you and then go inside right away. It has a very comfortable feeling and doesn't get stained.
How To Make Your Perfume Last Longer?
Everyone spends money on perfume, and they don't want it to run out after a few hours. By learning the best places to spray, you can ensure your perfume lasts a long time and makes you smell like your favorite scent from morning until night.
Apply Perfume Directly After a Shower
It's important to put on perfume after a hot shower. Because your skin has natural oils, they get in the way of the fragrance and smell. That's why it matters where, when, and how you put on cologne. When you put on cologne, you must ensure your skin is clean and moist.
Apply Lotion Before Spraying
To get more use out of your perfume, apply a light layer of lotion that doesn't smell good in the area where you want to use it first. Because it's oily, the smell stays in longer, so your favorite perfume will last longer.
Spray instead of rubbing
It might be tempting to spray perfume on one hand and rub it on the other, but this makes the perfume last less long. To make your perfume last longer, carefully spray one oiled wrist and then the other.
Don't Mist
We've all seen it in movies and TV shows: a stylish woman sprays her perfume into the air and then walks through it with style before leaving. Even though this looks fancy, it doesn't help your scent last longer. Spray your perfume right on your skin (pulse points are best!) to smell as fancy as this looks.
Consider Your Environment
Keeping perfumes in the bathroom while you do your morning routine could be bad for your expensive perfumes. Light, heat, and humidity can all weaken the strength and quality of your scent, so don't keep your scents on windowsills or in bathrooms. For better storage, put perfumes somewhere cool, dry, and dark, like a closet, vanity, or dresser.
Use Matching Scents
Buy lotions, body washes, or creams that match your perfume if they come in a set or have a smell that goes well with it. Having these sets that go together will make it easier to carry your perfume and help it last all day.
Is It Better To Spray Perfume on Clothes or Skin?
It's best to put the smell on your skin if it has a lot of alcohol in it. If the perfume doesn't have a lot of alcohol, you can spray it on clothes to make the scent last longer and be less strong. Remember that your scent reflects who you are, so wear it where it makes you feel good.
What Is The Best Distance To Spray Perfume?
Hold the bottle about six inches from your skin and spray the perfume on your pulse. If you rub it in, the scent molecules can break down. Instead, dab it on. This will help the scent spread widely and work at its best.
What Is The Best Place To Spray Perfume?
Some places on your body give off body heat, like your arms, neck, chest, and behind your ears. It is suggested that you spray your perfume on these areas because they give off heat that will help the perfume last longer.
What Are The Places To Avoid Apply Perfumes?
It's not a good idea to spray perfume near your eyes, armpits, or genitals. For example, perfumes with alcohol or ethyl can irritate the skin, as can scents with a lot of alcohol. The risk of itching and burning makes armpits a bad place to do it. Due to the chance of burning and itchiness, genitals should be avoided. Do not spray perfume in private areas to keep yourself safe.
Final Thoughts
Whatever fragrance or perfume you own, you want to be sure you're using it to its fullest potential before it runs out. Now that you know where to spray perfume, your best smells will follow you for hours, no matter what you do!
