Perfume is much more than just a scent - it's a way to express your style and personality. But for a scent to really come across and last all day, it's crucial to apply it correctly. In this article, you'll learn the best tips and tricks on how to apply perfume optimally and which mistakes you should avoid. At the end, we'll show you why scent twins are a clever alternative that often stay on the skin longer.
The way you apply perfume affects how intensely and for how long you can smell your favorite scent. There are certain techniques and points on the body that increase the longevity and projection of the perfume. Most perfumes are designed to develop in three phases - top notes, middle notes and base notes. A good application technique helps to bring out each note to its fullest.
The key to applying perfume correctly lies in the so-called pulse points , as these parts of the body give off heat and thus optimally develop the fragrance notes. Particularly suitable are:
These spots increase the intensity of the perfume without you having to constantly re-spray it. However, avoid rubbing the perfume on these spots as this will destroy the fragrance molecules and cause the scent to evaporate more quickly.
Dry skin causes perfume to evaporate more quickly. To extend the shelf life, you should apply an unscented lotion or some Vaseline to the desired areas before applying the perfume. The moisture acts as a base and ensures that the perfume adheres better to the skin and evaporates more slowly.
Even if perfume gives off a particularly intense scent on the skin, it often remains noticeable for longer on clothing. Spray the perfume lightly on items of clothing such as a scarf or jacket - but be careful not to spray delicate materials such as silk as these could get stained. Perfume often lasts all day on cotton and wool.
The best time to apply perfume is immediately after showering. Warm skin and open pores allow the scent to be absorbed better and therefore last longer. Dry the skin thoroughly and then apply the perfume to the pulse points.
There are different concentrations of perfume - Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum. The higher the concentration, the longer the scent will stay on the skin. For everyday use, choose an Eau de Parfum as it is intense but not overly strong. For evening occasions, you can choose an Extrait de Parfum, which has a particularly long shelf life.
Light and heat can destroy the fragrances in your perfume, so store your fragrance in a cool, dark place, preferably in the original box. Avoid leaving perfume bottles in the bathroom, as the fluctuating temperatures can negatively affect the fragrance.
A common misconception is that only expensive perfumes last. In fact, fragrance twins offer a wonderful and often longer lasting alternative because they are made in a high concentration of fragrance.
