Discount Perfume 101

Writing by Cammie on Tuesday, 22 of July , 2008 at 2:04 pm

You purchased a new bottle of discount perfume but you don’t know the proper amount to apply. We have been asked that question countless times and have gone on to research to find the most valuable advice on applying your favorite men’s and women’s fragrances and colognes.

We have compiled a list of dos and don’ts so you can enjoy the most out of your perfume. Get ready to indulge yourself:

1. Apply perfume on your skin preferably after a bath/shower since your skin is nice and clean and can absorb your favorite fragrance more thoroughly.

2. Less is definitely more. Your discount fragrance should attract people to you, not the other way around. Discretion is the key regarding amount. If you are using a splash, moisten your fingertips and dab perfume lightly on your pulse areas.

These are your wrists, dcollet (neckline in French), behind your earlobes and neck, on your chest, elbow area, behind your knees and in your inner thighs. Why these areas? Since blood is closer to the surface, skin is warmer causing the scent to be more rapidly diffused.

3. Heat does rise, so you should perfume yourself from the bottom up. This allows the scent to last longer throughout the day.

4. Less is definitely more. Your discount women’s fragrance should attract people to you, not the other way around. Discretion is the key regarding amount. If you are using a splash, moisten your fingertips and dab perfume lightly on your pulse areas.

5. It is a fact that men and women with dry skin don’t retain scents as long as people with oily skin. This is due to the fact that oils in the skin join with the perfume oils thus making it a slower process of evaporation. Solution: reapply your preferred scent once or twice a day or use a good moisturizer before applying your fragrance.

6. Be aware of the weather. On hot summer days, scents tend to last longer whereas cold weather has the exact opposite effect. So, vary the amount of perfume you wear with each season.

7. Many men and women are not conscious of the different scented body products they use - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, deodorant, after shave balm, etc. - they use them all at once which causes a mess of smells.

It is almost impossible for the perfume to really stand out or even last long when it’s mixed with everything else. So, if you want to make your perfume or cologne last longer, then “layer it”. Use body products scented preferably like your perfume or better yet products from the same brand. Start with a shower gel and then seal the scent with body lotion or after shave and finish by locking it all up with your favorite fragrance.

Solution: reapply your preferred scent once or twice a day or use a good moisturizer before applying your fragrance. That was the list of the dos. Next is the list of the don’ts.

1. Don’t perfume with clothes or jewelry on. Some discount fragrances do tend to stain cloth, metals and pearls, ruining your favorite apparel. Also, you are perfuming yourself, not your clothes.

2. Don’t perfume ALL your pulse points. You might just over do it, so choose carefully. Madame Coco Chanel did say, “Put on perfume where you’d like to be kissed.” Advice from an expert should never be ignored. Three sprays for Eau de Parfum or five sprays from Eau de Toilette perfumes should be more than enough.

3. Don’t rub your wrists together when applying perfume in this area, since the scent does change considerably.

4. Don’t perfume ALL your pulse points. You might just over do it, so choose carefully. Madame Coco Chanel did say, “Put on perfume where you’d like to be kissed.” Advice from an expert should never be ignored. Three sprays for Eau de Parfum or five sprays from Eau de Toilette perfumes should be more than enough.

5. If you did all the right steps and you still don’t smell like you want to, don’t reapply your favorite scent. It is most likely that your olfactory glands are already used to the fragrance, therefore not recognizing it. Solution:

Vary your scent from time to time. Expand your perfume wardrobe. Now go out and show off your favorite fragrance. Now you have learned how to wear you perfume.
