How do we get the most out of our fragrances? The persistence of a fragrance’s scent is rooted in its composition, but also in the good practices that must be followed. Follow the advice of our perfumers who will tell you the mistakes not to make…
Forgetting to Hydrate the Skin Well-hydrated skin is the best support for receiving fragrance. This is also one of the secrets to the long-lasting fragrance. No matter your skin type, it will be perfectly prepared to emit all the nuances and beauty of your fragrance. Conversely, if your skin is too dry or dehydrated, your skin will tend to “absorb” the product and its olfactory ingredients will lack presence. Perfume will have a poor fragrance retention effect on the skin, and it is difficult to express different fragrance notes.
However, be aware of the interaction between the different scents: choose an unscented cream to avoid bad mixing. Even better, choose a scented moisturizer from the same line as your eau de toilette. It’s the perfect way to heighten your arousal. If you’re looking for an understated skin-deep finish, the Fragrance Cream will suffice on its own.
Apply After Applying Perfume Contrary to popular belief, it is strongly advised not to apply perfume on the elbows and inner wrists. Fragrances are composed of fragile molecules that are sensitive to change. Through rubbing, these chemical molecules are heated, a reaction that distorts the scent and its alchemy with the skin.
In order to respect all the delicacy and richness of the scent, and preserve all its aspects, it is necessary to respect good gestures. Just spray on the perfume and let the alcohol in the mixture evaporate. After a few seconds, the top notes can express themselves fully and naturally. For a long-lasting scent, apply a small amount to the hottest areas of the body.
Quitting a perfume when you stop smelling it is a natural phenomenon: the smell of one’s favorite perfume tends to evaporate quickly in our own noses…but not in other people’s noses ! You must have noticed that you no longer smell that familiar smell anytime soon. However, the duration of the fragrance does not change, your own body gets used to it.
This is also a well-recognized fact, called olfactory habit. Result: reflections would be wanted to be added faster. Abstain, despite the temptation. This signature scent stays with you, even if it seems fleeting to you. It’s even one of the signs you’ve found a fragrance: It’s in harmony with your natural scent. A unique synergy with a magical side. For something more fancy, you can of course change the pleasure and choose another fragrance for a few days. When you reapply, you’ll be delighted to discover the full range of your favorite scents.
The idea that perfume can mask odors has come a long way since the courts of kings with widely divergent ideas about hygiene. Then we don’t shower at all and are content to change and wipe ourselves with a damp cloth. Complex perfumes created by perfumers were widely used, both to mask unpleasant body odors and to exploit their medicinal properties.
Today, perfume should never be used to make up for a lack of hygiene. No, perfume doesn’t hide smells, quite the opposite! It tends to make them more present. How do you wear your perfume for maximum benefit? It’s simple: just apply it to clean, refreshed skin. It’s the finishing touch to your outfit, it enhances your personality, and that’s it.
Confusing Deodorants with Eau de Toilettes It might be easy to believe that a product that smells great can be used multiple times…but it’s not! Eau deodorants and deodorants are two very different products, in terms of formulation, concentration, Of course there are uses. While deodorants are meant to mask unwanted sweat odors, eau de toilette is something else entirely. Carefully selected to bring a personal touch. This fragrant signature looks just like you. It carries a meaning, an identity, and has no goal other than sensual pleasure. Deodorants and antiperspirants can help prevent bad odours. There are completely neutral ones, some are 100% natural like Alum Stone, or even essential oil based for a more volatile scent. Two complementary products for two very different purposes.
Spraying Perfume on Clothes or Hair It is natural to want to apply eau de toilette to clothes and hair. However, even though this posture is often a reflex, it’s not the best habit for wearing perfume. When you put eau de toilette on your clothes, it won’t react with your skin. However, it is this subtle alchemy that is sought, and the response to areas of the body’s blood flow such as the neck, nape, or inner wrists. Also, scented detergents may not match the chosen eau de toilette.
For example, if you still want to perfume your scarf or coat, know that it’s best to perfume clothes made of natural fibers, such as cotton or wool. Also remember to use a mild detergent. Likewise, it is not advisable to spray perfume on the hair so as not to mix the fragrances (shampoo, conditioner). For a long-lasting fragrance, there’s no secret: you have to spray it on your skin!
Store perfume hot and perfume in the bathroom do not mix. Add that to the humidity in the bathroom, and you’re avoiding cocktails in order to best preserve your favorite bottle. High heat and changing temperatures can destroy the ingredients of the product. The aroma can then evolve and shift, as well as the color of the juice. Although you want the beauty of the bottle to be preserved, it is strongly recommended that you store your perfume or eau de toilette in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Thus, all olfactory properties will be perfectly preserved and protected. Don’t hesitate to keep the original packaging to store the bottles you don’t use every day.
