Before discussing where and how much to apply perfume, let's remember how our sense of smell works. The fragrance molecules from the atomized scent enter the nose - to the receptors of the olfactory epithelium, which send a signal to the brain. And the brain recognizes all this information as a certain smell.

After some time, the molecule adhered to the receptor evaporates, making room for other aromatic molecules. At a low concentration of a substance, the molecules bind to the most related receptors. At high - they fall on less suitable receptors: this is how side effects arise, and many fragrant substances may not smell very pleasant.

How and where to apply perfumery fragrances - rules

1. When sprinkling from a spray bottle, keep in mind: the minimum concentration of aroma is attractive to others. And an obsessive scent of perfume can sometimes be annoying.

2. The more perfume you apply, the faster you stop smelling. This is called olfactory fatigue: over time, we become less susceptible to constant smells, even the most pleasant and loved ones. And the fastest way to get used to those that are not dangerous or of interest.

3. Perfume is usually sprayed on the neck. But if you put the scent close to the nose, particles will constantly get there, and the receptors will quickly get tired. To feel your scent longer, apply it further away from your nose - to the back of your hands and wrists.

4. A good option for summer is to apply perfume between your shoulder blades. The smell will be felt only when moving, and the sense of smell will have time to fully recover. Long-lasting fragrance and moist skin if applied after a shower on top moisturizer or body milk.



5. Behind the ears. Like the wrists, these areas are very popular for applying perfume. These places are ideal conditions for warming up and vaporizing perfumery. The only thing to consider is the decorations. Certain stones and materials in earrings can be altered by perfume.

6. The back of the neck. In this zone, the aroma lasts for a long time and at the same time sounds light and unobtrusive, without annoying others.

7. The inner surface of the elbow. There are really large veins here, so the conditions for applying perfume are even better than on the wrists.

8. The back of the knees. If you like short dresses and skirts, you can put your favorite perfume behind your knees, there are also veins that carry streams of hot blood. The heat evaporates the perfume, and the air flows upward, where it is always hotter than below.

9. Smells on clothes and hair persist longer than on the skin. There, the initial notes of the aroma last longer, which disappear on the skin literally in the first minutes.

Hair retains fragrances stronger and longer than skin, but you need to be careful and moderate, because perfumes contain alcohol, which can damage hair. To minimize harm to our hair, we can use special fragrances created for hair or apply perfume to a brush and then brush her hair.
