How and where to apply perfume for an optimal effect?
Perfume is much more than just a daily ritual. It’s a signature, an emotion you leave behind. But do you know how to maximize its impact and longevity? Here’s a detailed guide to unveil the full magic of your Essentiel fragrance.
1. Where to apply: strategic zones
Perfumes perform best on the warm areas of your body. These pulse points amplify the fragrance notes thanks to your skin's natural warmth.
- Behind the ears: a discreet but effective classic.
- At the base of the neck: perfect for leaving an olfactory trace.
- On the wrists: convenient and timeless, but don’t rub them to avoid altering the fragrance!
- Inside the elbows or behind the knees: great for long-lasting wear.
2. The best time to apply perfume
The ideal time to apply your fragrance is right after a shower, on clean, slightly damp skin. Well-moisturized skin also retains perfume molecules better, so don’t hesitate to apply a neutral cream beforehand.
3. Spray with precision
Hold your bottle about 10-15 cm away from your skin. A light, even spritz is enough: your fragrance should envelop, not overwhelm.
4. Tips for a delicate trail
- Lightly spray your hair to extend the trail, but avoid alcohol-based products that can dry your hair.
- Apply perfume to a scarf or your clothes (test first on a discreet fabric to avoid stains).
5. Less is more
An Essentiel fragrance is designed to last: two or three sprays are enough. Avoid overloading and opt for subtlety.
By following these tips, you can fully enjoy your perfume while optimizing its longevity and impact.
