Apply Perfume

It is important to apply perfume correctly to enjoy its aroma. It has to be applied only on the pulse points namely wrists, bottom of the throat, behind the ear lobs, back of the elbows and back of the knees. It is best to apply it after bath as it is then absorbed in a short while.

Perfume application is an art that must be mastered well as it is one of the key elements of dressing up. It can be for casual, semi-formal or formal occasion. A nice fragrance that follows you have got to be serene and pleasing so that it turns the heads searching for you. It can be achieved if the perfume is applied correctly because the right application doubles the aroma of the perfume.

It is ideal to apply the perfume prior to wearing the dress as it gives amazing fresh and restful feeling. In case it is any evening party or day gathering then prefer to take a quick shower before dressing up because after bath the skin is soft that absorbs the fragrance scrupulously. Perfume is best applied in small three steps that could be followed one after another. It can be over and done with in a jiffy.

Moisturize the Skin – First Step
Scent lasts longer on the greased skin instead of dry skin. Thereby moisturize the skin using a regular moisturizer and blend well in the skin. This would also seal the smell of other cosmetics used such as shampoo, soap or body wash.

Dab the Perfume – Second Step
Apply the perfume on the moisturized skin only on the pulse points. Blindly spraying the scent all over the body is absolutely wrong. The pulse points are wrists, bottom of the throat, behind the ear lobs, back of the elbows and back of the knees. Take a little perfume and dab it on these pulse points. Then very gently merge it with the skin. Do not rub the wrists together or massage it like oil else the fragrance would go off.

Start putting the perfume from the bottom to up. This means first back of the knees, back of the elbows, wrists, bottom of throat and in the end back of the ear lobs. It is applied on pulse points because at these positions blood flow is very close to the skin hence the scent is diffused quickly. Always ensure the perfume is not in excess as too much of scent could lead to skin irritation or mild headache.

Squirt a Little in the Air - Third Step
In case the perfume is in spray bottle then spray a little in the air twice or thrice. Later walk into it. This would make the perfume spread evenly on the body. Allow the perfume to dry. It would take 2-3 minutes and then get dressed.

In summers the perfume stays longer while in winters it evades quite early hence accordingly vary the quantity of scent. It usually takes 45 minutes after application that the fragrance could be sensed. Do not spray or apply it on clothes or jewelry as it might lead to stains. Also take care not to spray it on hairs else it might react harmfully. Apart from these few precaution it is safe to put on the perfumes.

Wearing perfume can be a different style statement so as to make you noticed in the crowd that is following the same fashion trends and statements. Hence, be unique by putting on the perfume correctly and feel the difference!
