Today we delve deeper into a topic that interests every modern man: the correct application of fragrance. Fragrance is not just a scent, but also a statement of personality and style. It is essential to know how to apply this masterpiece correctly. And let's start with the much-discussed topic: should you shake fragrance before use?
Should you shake fragrance before use?
Let's clear up a misunderstanding right away: generally, it is not necessary to shake your fragrance before use. In fact, shaking can do more harm than good. Perfumes, including niche fragrance, are composed of various fragrance components, and some of these components can be sensitive to oxidation and change when exposed to air and light. Shaking can disturb the delicate balance of these ingredients and even lead to an altered scent. So, let that bottle stay calmly in place!
How to use fragrance?
Now that we've cleared that up, let's look at the proper way to use men's fragrances. Remember that fragrance use should be subtle; it should entice others, not overwhelm them. Follow these steps for a perfect application:
Choose the right spots: Apply fragrance to well-circulated areas of your body, where the 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 from a distance: Hold the perfume bottle about 15-20 cm from your body and press the spray nozzle lightly. This prevents the scent from being applied too concentratedly in one spot.
Dab, don't rub: When you have applied the fragrance, gently dab it into your skin with your wrists. Rubbing can break the scent molecules and change the fragrance.
Beware of overdoing it: Less is more when it comes to fragrance use. You want others to subtly notice the scent when they come close, not from a mile away. One or two sprays are usually sufficient.
Timing is everything: Apply your eau de parfum right after showering, when your skin is still moist. This helps the scent to 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. And as for shaking your perfume bottle: leave it alone. Enjoy the scent as the master perfumers intended.
