Applying perfume seems simple, right? Spray a little, rub your wrists, and go. But here’s the secret: that tiny habit might be ruining your scent. 👀
The Common Mistake: Rubbing Your Wrists
Many people rub their wrists together after spraying perfume. It feels instinctive, but what’s actually happening is this: the friction generates heat and breaks down the delicate top notes. Those first beautiful impressions disappear faster, leaving your fragrance fading sooner than it should.
The Right Way to Apply Perfume
Here’s the simple trick for making your fragrance last longer and smell exactly as it was designed:
-
Spray on Pulse Points: wrists, neck, behind ears, inner elbows.
-
Let It Dry Naturally: don’t rub. Just let the perfume settle and develop on your skin.
-
Optional Layering: use matching body lotion or shower gel to gently enhance longevity.
Why It Matters
By skipping the rubbing, your fragrance will retain its complexity and evolve naturally throughout the day. You’ll notice the top notes linger longer, the heart notes bloom fully, and the base notes leave a lasting impression.
💡 Pro Tip: Less really is more, one or two sprays applied correctly can be far more effective than multiple heavy spritzes.
