We have often witnessed a friend of ours first applying perfume to his wrist and then rubbing it vigorously with his other hand. This method, although familiar, is incorrect. Therefore, here we will talk about how and where perfume should be applied.
How to apply Eau de Toilette correctly?
Now let’s back up and first explain how you shouldn’t do this. Do not rub the perfume water in immediately after application. This method violates the integrity of the aromatic substance molecules and therefore the entire aroma. Therefore, a perfume composition may differ from what the author originally intended.
Where should you apply perfume?
There is a famous quote attributed to Coco Chanel. She suggested applying the scent to the areas you want to be kissed. But we still return to theory.
Typically, perfume is applied to areas where the skin is thin and the veins are close to it to provide warmth. It is believed that the aroma applied to these places appears brighter and lasts longer. Classic points are behind the ear and on the wrist.
But there are other areas – the inside of the elbow and the back of the knees. It is believed that women make facial expressions more often than men, so the scent applied to the inside of the elbow will spread around while talking. The back of the knees is an unusual area for applying perfume. However, since all odors evaporate upwards, the aroma applied to this part of the body will be felt by others.
Another area where the scent will be applied is the hair. They absorb odors faster and retain them longer. However, since perfume contains alcohol, it can dry out the hair strands. To preserve their structure, first apply the scent to the comb, then apply it to your hair.
