Wearing fragrance is like child’s play: just spritz and you’re out the door. But wearing fragrance well requires a little more finesse. Applying fragrance is probably the last step in your morning beauty routine and you may not even think about how you apply perfume. It’s not rocket science, but there is more than meets the eye when it comes to wearing your favourite perfume. Where you spray perfume on your body and how much you spritz on can impact how long it lasts on your skin. Spray your favourite perfume on one (or more) of the 10 spots and your amazing smell will make heads turn.
Where to spray perfume?
Once you find your signature scent, all you want is to smell amazing. Knowing where to spray perfume is more than just giving your neck a quick spritz. There are no less than 10 spots to spray perfume on!
Please keep the following in mind before spritzing:
- Less is more, so don’t spritz them all! If you hit all 10 spots, your scent will be overwhelming and you’ll smell anything but amazing.
- Don’t spray your hair! Most fragrances contain alcohol and will damage your strands. If you insist on lovely smelling manes, you can use a special hair perfume.
- Don’t rub perfume into your skin! Dabbing perfume on the wrist and rubbing them together is a habit many of us have to break. If you rub your wrists together, you’ll force the scent to disappear faster than intended. Also, rubbing causes your skin to heat up and change the scent.
#1 Spray perfume on your clothes
Perfume is not just for the body, it’s for the clothes as well! Clothing fibres can hold in scents for a very long time, even after you wash them. Don’t be shy and simply spritz your favourite fragrance all over your clothes. Just be sure to avoid spraying perfume on fabrics that stain easily, like silk.
#2 Spray perfume on your ears
The oilier the skin, the better it holds scent. The top of your ears is a bit oilier than the earlobes. Spritzing perfume on your ears causes the fragrance to focus around your face. Perfect if you’re heading out the door before going on a date!
#3 Spray perfume on your neck
You probably already know that your neck is the number 1 spot to spray perfume on, but it’s still worth mentioning.
#4 Spray perfume on your throat
Spraying perfume on the centre of your throat will make your fragrance smell extra strong. Just make sure that you keep your mouth closed while spritzing; fragrances don’t taste as good as they smell.
#5 Spray perfume on your chest
You may want to consider spritzing perfume on your chest area since it’ll give you an amazing, all-over fragrance.
#6 Spray perfume on your torso
Spraying perfume on your torso may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it can boost your overall smell. Subtle, but mighty!
#7 Spray perfume on your elbows
One spot you may be overlooking is the inside of your elbows. Yes, it may sound a bit funny, but spritzing perfume on the inside of your elbows allows your fragrance to smell stronger.
#8 Spray perfume on your wrist
Aside from your neck, your wrists are one the of most common areas to spray perfume on. Your arm movements will help your scent go the distance. Just avoid washing your hands after spraying; you’ll wash your fragrance away!
#9 Spray perfume on your knees
Spray your favourite perfume on the back of your knees when you’re wearing shorts or a dress. The scent will travel great distances!
#10 Spray perfume on your ankles
Have you ever sprayed perfume on your ankles? Probably not, but it’s really worth giving it a try when your legs are on display. Spritzing your favourite fragrance on your ankles can help detract from smelly feet as well!
