Today we dive deeper into a subject that interests every modern man: the correct application of perfume. Perfume is not only a fragrance, but also a statement of personality and style. It is essential to know how to properly apply this work of art. And let's start with the much-discussed topic: should you shake perfume before use?
Should you shake perfume before use?
Let's clear up a misunderstanding right away: in general, it is not necessary to shake your perfume before use. In fact, shaking can do more harm than good. Perfumes, including niche perfume are composed of different fragrance components, and some of these components can be susceptible to oxidation and change when exposed to air and light. Shaking can upset the delicate balance of these ingredients and even lead to altered fragrance. So, quietly leave that bottle in place!
How do you use perfume?
Now that we've cleared that up, let's look at the proper way to use men's fragrances. Remember that perfume use should be subtle; it should entice others, not overwhelm them. Follow these steps for perfect application:
Choose the right areas: Apply perfume to well-flushed areas of your body where warmth helps to gradually release the scent. This includes your wrists, the inside of your elbows, the side of your neck and even a light mist on your chest.
Spray at a distance: Hold the perfume bottle about 15-20 cm from your body and press the spray head lightly. This prevents the fragrance from being applied too concentrated in one spot.
Dab, don't rub: When you have applied the perfume, gently dab it into your skin with your wrists. Rubbing can break up the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
Beware of exaggeration: Less is more when it comes to perfume use. You want others to notice the scent subtly when they get close, not from a mile away. One or two sprays are usually enough.
Timing is everything: Apply your eau de parfum immediately after showering, when your skin is still moist. This helps the scent last longer.
In other words, applying it correctly requires attention to detail and subtle nuances. Let the seductive aromas accentuate your personality, not overwhelm it. As for shaking your perfume bottle, leave it alone. Enjoy the fragrance as the master perfumers intended.
