It is the most universal means to distinguish yourself. It releases something for everyone. It has a major influence on how attractive you are found by different women, but can also be wonderful to smell yourself.
That smell there are quite a few questions about it. Because how do you let your perfume smell the best and especially the longest? Sometimes it seems like you don't smell your perfume anymore after a few hours. There is therefore the danger that you spray too much. A big letdown and also a waste of your expensive bottle of perfume. Am I wrong? Don't I use a good perfume? We will all answer these questions. After reading this article you will never have to worry about your perfume.
Apply perfume to your pulse points
Puls points are spots on your body where you can feel your heart rate and the skin is a bit thinner. Your skin here is warmer due to the temperature of the blood. These are the best places to make perfume work as well as possible. These points are found by the throat, behind the earlobe, the sleep and the inside of the wrist and elbow.
Do not spray all the pulse points now but choose a few. Apply it with a spray from about 20 centimeters away. And remember: never rub! As a result, the molecules break down and the scent can change or even disappear completely.
Apply perfume just after showering
If only because perfume can cause stains on your clothing. When you get away just under the shower, your skin is warm and the pores are still open. An ideal environment for a perfume to smell nice and strong and above all longer. Use one body lotion Before applying the perfume. A perfume stays on fatter skin for much longer.
Use perfume with strong base notes
Everything perfumes consist of top notes, heart notes and basic notes. They are different layers of scents that make up a perfume. Top notes are the scents that you smell the first when spraying. These are often fresh, fruity or sweet scents. It is also the scents that disappear the fastest. Usually after half an hour. The heart notes now appear more and linger longer.
Finally, you continue to smell the base notes and these will stay by far the longest. Examples of strong basic notes are woody: cedar, pines and musk, or oriental: patchouli, incense and vanilla. Search for strong basic notes and you will find lists of scents.
Turn the quantity to the type of perfume
When you get one Eau de Parfum Of course you need much less than when you have a eau de cologne or eau de toilette used. Read here The blog about the differences between the perfume types. Two to a maximum of three syringes are enough when you use an eau de perfume. A light and fresh scent will also disappear faster than a heavy woody or spicy scent. So be careful with this.
Take the season into account
The temperature in the area has a strong influence on how long a perfume carries the scent. At warmer temperature, a perfume will smell stronger because perfume is activated by heat. That is why a lighter perfume is generally worn in the summer.
On the other hand, a perfume evaporates faster in the summer and it will have to be applied more often when a lighter variant such as an eau de cologne or eau de toilette is used. In the winter the perfume will be less intense, but will remain noticeable for longer. As a result, a heavier scent can be used in the winter. But be careful not to smell like an exploded pot of incense.
Trust your nose (not)
When you spray your perfume and you smell this, others can also smell this. Don't go too far in this. If you wear the perfume for a while, your odor organ will adjust to this. After a while you hardly smell it yourself. This can be very deceptive. Because you now tend to add extra perfume or to come to the conclusion that the perfume is not good. While other people in your area will really smell your perfume. Do you really doubt? Ask someone in your area if the perfume is smelled.
Keep your perfume cool and dark
If your collection of perfumes comes into contact with light and heat, the fragrances are broken down. Even when the bottle is still unopened. It can greatly change the smell. It can even irritate the skin. Keep it in a cool, dry and dark place.
No bathrooms because the moisture can enter the perfume. The best is a cupboard in your room in a dark drawer. Do you live in a very damp environment? Then put it in the fridge.
