The Art of Wearing Perfume Correctly
If suppose you are told that all these years you have had wrong perfume knowledge, what would be your reaction? Yes, please don’t be amused! You need to keep in mind the right technique of wearing perfumes and in no time, you will be an expert.
Perfumes are used to please your own self and also the social gathering around you but sometimes you end up offending people. Be it the wrong fragrance choice or the inappropriate body part that you have sprayed perfume on; there can be a ton of reasons that can make your perfume experience go wrong.
What to do:
Choose the appropriate perfume based on your body type. It is also suggested to select the fragrance type based upon your errands for the day. You definitely do not want to turn up smelling strong in your office. Women are usually recommended to opt for EDP perfumes.
Taking a shower before spraying the perfume on your pulse points is always recommended. Scrubbing your body during the shower will be like a cherry on the cake. A clean body will absorb and hold the perfume better.
It is factual that moisturized or oily skin tends to absorb the fragrance better. The base notes in a perfume stick to your body for a longer time period if you always prep your skin with a decent moisturizer after stepping out of the shower. You can also rub Vaseline on your pulse points for a good after effect. The fragrance oils of the perfume blend with the natural oil of your body and create a magical envelope around your skin.
Make sure that you spritz the perfume from a distance. This ensures proper distribution of the perfume on your pulse points. A concentrated blot will not give you the desired results.
The heat of your body gradually makes the aroma more magical thus it is advised to spray the fragrance to the bottommost pulse point and continue upwards. Starting with the ankle, you must move up towards your neck or behind the ears. (The hair obviously comes last)
You should let the perfume dry on completely before putting on your clothes. If that is not the case, the perfume will stick to the clothing and you will not be able to get the maximum effect. EDP perfumes are believed to last longer than colognes so you should opt for them if you are always in search of long lasting perfume.
Keep in mind that the other skincare or hair care products that you use on a daily basis can stand as a hindrance between you and the perfume aroma. If the smell of any other product is over powering, your perfume aroma will lose its essence. In order to make up, you should try and use other scented products from the same brand or the same range. This will jazz up the overall effect.
You have to pay heed to the weather conditions when deciding on a perfume to wear. Your best fragrances for the summers will fail to impress you during the winter season.
You might over spray during the first few uses of a newly purchased bottle. Once you are accustomed to the particular perfume, pay heed to the amount that is sufficient for your body. It also depends upon your body and skin type. Two to three spritzes of a particular perfume might be sufficient for your body but it might be less or more for another person.
Last but not the least; you should make it a habit to carry mini perfumes with you while on the go. It is the best way to freshen up and it keeps you energetic all day long.
