Where perfume should be applied?

From cologne to parfum to eau de toilette, we all want our fragrance to make a statement for us. For long-lasting fragrance that can carry you throughout the day, where you spray your scent definitely makes a difference. Pulse points, including behind the ear, at the base of the throat and on the wrists, are regarded as being among the best places to spray perfume.

Pulse Points

Everyone knows the trustworthy saying that spraying perfume on your pulse points makes it last longer. These spots emanate heat, which helps your fragrance release into the air. These five spots are all among the warmest spots on your body. For the best fragrance experience, hold the bottle anywhere from three to six inches away. Be careful to not overspray, as two to four sprays are often enough.

Behind the Ear

Give a direct spritz on the pulse point behind your ear to keep your fragrance fresh around your face all day.  If the top of your ears are a bit oily, spray a little perfume there, too. Oil helps trap fragrance, and will keep the scent around your head for hours.

At the Base of the Throat

A very popular area to spray perfume, the base of your throat is a great place to ensure your fragrance gracefully wafts toward your face all day. Spray the hollow at the base of your neck to trap the fragrance on a pulse point that will keep the scent gently emanating.

Behind the Knees

Applying this may be tricky, but if your legs are exposed it will pay off. The back of your knees are a pulse point, so on days you opt for a dress this will help waft your fragrance around your lower half. To trap your fragrance even more, apply the fragrance right after lotioning your legs post-shower.

On the Wrists

Perhaps the most popular place to spritz your perfume, your wrists can help trap your scent. Simply give a direct spray to either wrist (don’t rub them together—this breaks the fragrance molecules down!) and let the perfume dry down for a fragrance experience you’ll be able to smell all day.

Inside the Inner Elbow

On warmer days when your arms are exposed, this is a great place to ensure your fragrance lasts. Simply spray your perfume inside the crook of your arm, but be careful not to bend your arm until the perfume has dried down to avoid breaking down the scent.

3 Places to Avoid Spraying Perfume

As much as you want to smell like your favorite fragrance all over, there are some places where it’s actually harmful to spray your perfume.

Near Your Eyes

To avoid irritation, steer clear of spraying perfume anywhere near your eyes. Perfumes that contain alcohol and ethyl could do serious damage when they come into contact with highly sensitive areas.

In Your Armpits

Though you want to spray fragrance onto high-heat areas, you should rethink spraying perfume into your armpits. Combining sweat glands with high-alcohol fragrances could result in serious irritation — anyone who has applied scented deodorant to freshly shaved armpits knows the incredibly uncomfortable itching and burning of irritation.

Around Your Genitals

Steer clear of private areas the next time you’re applying your go-to perfume. This could lead to burning, itching and other irritation you definitely won’t want to experience down there.
