How to Apply Perfume Correctly?

Hoe breng je parfum aan op de correcte manier?

Today we will dive deeper into a topic that interests every modern man: the correct application of perfume . Perfume is not only a fragrance, but also a statement of personality and style. It is essential to know how to properly apply this piece of art. And let's start with the much-discussed topic: should you shake perfume before use?

 

 

Do you have to shake perfume before using it?

Let's clear up a misunderstanding right away: in general, it is not necessary to shake your perfume before use. In fact, shaking can do more harm than good. Perfumes, including niche perfumes, are composed of various fragrance components, and some of these components may be susceptible to oxidation and change when exposed to air and light. Shaking can upset the delicate balance of these ingredients and even lead to an altered smell. So, leave that flask in its place!

 

 

How do you use perfume?

Now that we've cleared that up, let's take a look at the proper way to use men's fragrances . Remember that perfume use should be subtle; it should seduce others, not overwhelm them. Follow these steps for a perfect application:

Choose the right spots: Apply perfume to well-drained areas of your body, where the heat helps to release the fragrance gradually. This includes your wrists, the insides of your elbows, the side of your neck, and even a light mist on your chest.

Spray at a distance: Hold the perfume bottle about 15-20 cm from your body and lightly press the spray head. This prevents the fragrance from being applied too concentrated in one spot.

Dab, don't rub: Once you've applied the perfume, gently pat it into your skin with your wrists. Rubbing can break the odor molecules and change the smell.

Beware of exaggeration: Less is more when it comes to perfume use. You want others to subtly notice the scent when they get close, not from a mile away. One or two sprays are usually sufficient.

Timing is everything: Apply your eau de parfum right after showering, when your skin is still damp. This helps to retain the scent longer.

In other words, applying it correctly requires attention to detail and subtle nuances. Let the seductive aromas accentuate, not overwhelm, your personality. And as for shaking your perfume bottle, leave it alone. Enjoy the fragrance as the master perfumers intended.
