It’s time to trade in the light,
fruity scents of sensuality to the alluring fragrances, once
you’ve found a product that’s pleasing to your senses, you have to know
how to wear it to get the most out of the intoxicating juice.
Check out these basic rules that
will help improve your perfume-wearing experience:
Don’t
Rub Your Wrists Together
One of the biggest mistakes women
make when spraying a scent is rubbing their wrists together. The friction
causes the scent to settle in a different way than the maker intended. Instead,
just spray and let it dry.
Perfume
and Hair Don’t Mix
There are some ladies who are quick to
spritz their hair with a hint of their favorite scent or mix it with their regular hair sprays ! While this is not
completely detrimental to your hair, it could still have adverse affects. There
are several potentially harmful chemicals used to create scents such as dye,
alcohol and blends of different fragrances. In addition, the shampoo,
conditioner and even the natural oils that your scalp produces could alter the
aesthetic of the fragrance.
Focus
on Hitting Pulse Points
More ideal pulse points to target
with your favorite perfume is the base of the throat, behind the ear lobes,
between your breasts, the backside of the elbows and along the collarbones. If
you’re rocking a fab skirt, dress or pair of shorts during a night on the town,
aim for the back of your knees.
Just
Because It’s Right For Your Friend Doesn’t Mean It’s Right For You
Have you ever felt like your
favorite perfume suddenly stopped smelling the same on your skin? Well, chances
are, you’re not hallucinating. Your hormones can affect the way a fragrance
reacts, especially if you’re stressed, menstruating or pregnant. The way a skin
reacts with your skin can be a gift and a curse. It’s a gift because as human
beings we all have our very own unique body chemistry and ph balance, so even
if we all buy the same scent, it will smell different on each of our skin
giving us our own signature smell with every application.
Don’t
Forget Perfume Has a Shelf Life
Perfume has a shelf life of about
three years. To me this is just an industry rule of thumb because I have some
bottles on my vanity that I’ve held onto for a little longer than that. They
don’t smell different to me, but maybe they have changed over time. Also, avoid
storing them near direct sunlight or areas with high temperature.
