3 Things Every Woman Should Know About Her Perfume
Many women partake in the act of spritzing their favorite scent on themselves as part of a daily routine. Perfume can be dabbed on various areas of the body but there are several that can optimize the length and desired reaction of your fragrance. The wrist has historically been one of the favorites and for good reason.
Use Your Pulse Points
Pulse points on the body including the wrists, bottom of the throat, inside the elbows, and behind the knees are areas where blood vessels are closest to the skin. The heat created by the blood causes the liquid perfume to evaporate from the skin and enter the surrounding air. This is the best way to make a little bit of perfume go a long way.
Make Sure a Fragrance is Right for You
Each perfume is made up of different notes (descriptors of scents): top notes, middle notes and base notes. These notes react with the oils on your skin to release certain fragrances. Because each person has different oils on their skin, these notes may not smell the same on you as they do on someone else. The next time you are shopping for a perfume, don't use the paper strips for a final test. Instead, spray your wrist with the perfume and let it sit for about 30 minutes. That will give the notes time to mix with your body's oils, giving you a true indication of the fragrance.
Movement Makes Your Fragrance Better
Instead of spraying your entire body with an expensive perfume (which is costly and wasteful), stick to just the wrists and maybe the insides of your elbows. During conversation your arms and hands move considerably more then the rest of your body. They are used to express emotion and emphasize ideas. During this movement the sweet scent of your perfume is also released with your body’s own movements. Since a handshake is one of the most common greetings it is natural that this is where it should be used.
Although expensive, every woman loves to accessorize with a great perfume. In order to optimize its value and have it lasting all day, it is important to understand where to use it. By placing a dab directly on the wrist, your perfect scent will linger with you all day!
