How to Apply Perfume:

8 Secrets to Make Your perfumes last longer

UPDATE:

Applying your perfume is probably the final (and fastest) step in your beauty routine—a spritz here, a dab there, and you’re out the door. You may not even think about how to apply perfume because well, it seems so simple. But there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to wearing fragrances. Where you spray perfume on your body, how much you spritz on, and even where you store it (like a steamy bathroom vanity) can impact how long the scent will last on your skin and in the bottle.

Want to make sure you're applying and caring for your favorite fragrance like a pro? Here are 8 essential tips on how to apply perfume to make your signature scent last.

1. Don’t rub perfume into your skin.
You’ve probably seen your mom, grandmom, or friends dabbing perfume on their wrists and then rubbing them together. It’s one of the first fragrance habits we ever learned (and one of the hardest to break). But rubbing perfume into your skin in this way actually causes the fragrance's top notes to fade and evaporate before they can settle. This means the notes that made you fall for the scent to begin with never truly translate onto your skin (gasp!).

You want your perfume to slowly mix with your skin’s natural oils—it’s what makes your scent last and what can make the same scent smell slightly different from person to person. Rubbing perfume on your skin causes friction, which can heat it up and change the scent.

2. Spray it onto your pulse points.
Wondering exactly where to spray perfume? Focus on your pulse points. These are areas where your veins sit closest to your skin, so you can (literally) feel your pulse. It's places like the inside of your wrists, inner elbows, below your belly button, behind your ear lobes, and the back of your knees. These warm spots on your body emit extra body heat, which helps to naturally diffuse a scent. To apply perfume to your pulse points, spritz or dab it (remember, don’t rub) on a few or all of them, and your fragrance will linger all day.

3. Where you store your perfume matters.
If you’re like us, and you treat your favorite eau de toilette like a statement piece for your vanity—you’re in for a surprise. Storing your fragrance in your bathroom where steam from daily showers can interact with them is a no-no. Water, humidity, and drastically changing temps can change a perfume’s composition and cut short the shelf life of your favorite bottle. Additionally, any form of light (especially sunlight) can break down a perfume’s makeup. Where should you keep your perfume? The answer: a cool, dark, dry place. Before you bury your bottles in your closet, try inside a bedroom dresser or vanity drawer—or simply, inside the box your fragrance came in. Most of these were made to keep your perfume happy and safe for the long haul.

4. Spritz, then walk into your perfume.
Have you ever been within a few feet of someone and found yourself overwhelmed by how strong their perfume smells? Let's not be that person. The key to keeping your perfume pleasant but not overpowering is to diffuse it all over, rather than concentrating it in one (or every) area. When you wear perfume, you want the fragrance to complement you and enhance your natural scent—not completely mask it. Instead of spraying perfume all over, dab it onto your pulse points and then do what we call a “spritz and step”: spray your perfume in front of you, then walk right into it and back out. This will leave a light layer on your clothes, and make sure you’re covered (without overdoing it).
