It is about more than just giving your neck a quick spritz, and you’re done -
it’s all about strategically placing your fragrance of choice to ensure you smell amazing all day long, no matter the angle.
Pulse points like wrists, neck / hair line, behind the ears, and inner elbows are warmer and help the scent diffuse naturally.
These are areas where blood vessels are close to the skin's surface, which means they naturally emit more heat.
Common Pulse Points:
Wrists: A classic spot, allowing you to sniff your own fragrance.
Behind in the neck / hair line: A good spot for a subtle, lingering scent, when turning your head.
Behind the Ears: Another area where the scent can be easily detected.
Inner Elbows: A less common but effective spot, especially when wearing long sleeves.
Chest: A good area to apply perfume if you want to smell good from head to toe, as it is right above your nose, it is completely for your own pleasure!
Behind the Knees: Can create a subtle scent trail / Sillage*
*Sillage in perfume refers to the trail created by a perfume when it is worn on the skin.
It comes from the word in French for "wake" and can best be described as how a fragrance diffuses "in a persons' wake," or, behind the wearer as they move.
Cool, Dark & Dry - always away from direct sunlight!
Maintaining a stable temperature is the key to longevity; the recommended temperature to store perfume is between a range of 12 and 22 degrees Celsius.
