We all want to smell good, right? You know that kind of signature scent when everybody is asking you what perfume are you wearing and you only smile in a mysterious way. Scents should be personal. There is nothing special about the fragrance that wears every other woman in your office. Let´s just assume that you have already found your ONE. And by one I mean Eau de toilette, Eau de perfume or better yet – perfume. How to apply your signature scent that will surround you with a cozy cloud of amazing smell for much longer? Well, that´s the question. I am sure we all have struggled with applying just right amount of our favorite fragrance. Really, how can you smell amazing without overdoing it?
1. Mademoiselle Coco Chanel once famously answered the question of a young lady where should one use perfume. She said: „Whenever one wants to be kissed.“ It is actually very romantic, feminine and poetic. But practical? Hell, no! I think that everyone has experienced passionate kissing with accidental licking of skin with perfume applied on it. Yuck! Perfumes are everything but tasty. Why am I mentioning this? Keep in mind that not only how much of fragrance you apply is important. So is where you apply it.
2. Apply perfume right after your shower. When you treat yourself with nice looong hot shower, the pores on your skin are wide open at that moment. Which means it is the perfect time to apply your perfume! Your skin will literally soak up the fragrance and your scent will last so much longer.
3. Make sure your skin is moisturized. Don´t use scented moisturizers. Use only the unscented ones or use moisturizer with the same scent as your perfume. BTW, did you know, that oils work even better than lotions? Oily skin can lock up the fragrance so much better than dry skin.
4. Create a halo of heavenly smell. Are you tempted to apply perfume on your hair? Well, we all know fragrances contain alcohol and alcohol is drying, so it can be quite damaging to your hair. But you can try this little trick. Spray a little bit of your perfume on your hairbrush and then run it through your hair. Every time you move or every time you will flip your hair, you (and everybody else) will be able to smell your perfume!
5. I don´t like to spray perfume directly on my neck or wrists. So I came up with an upgrade of „walking through perfume mist“. I´ve noticed that when you use this method a lot of perfume simply fall on the ground, even before you can walk through it (and therefore goes to waste). So I rather lay on my back in bed and let gravity work for me. I spray fragrance towards the ceiling - that way tiny perfume drops land on a much bigger area of my body (and clothes) – covering me in a pleasant smell - without overdoing it.
