Spray perfume (or cologne) on your pulse points, ideally from 3-6 inches away. These warmer areas help project the scent.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Pulse Points: These are areas where blood vessels are close to the skin's surface, generating more heat and amplifying the fragrance.
- Neck: A classic and effective spot. Apply to the sides of the neck, not directly in front, to avoid overwhelming those nearby.
- Inner Wrists: Another common and effective choice. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after application, as this can break down the fragrance molecules and alter the scent.
- Inner Elbows: A less common but equally effective pulse point.
- Chest: Spraying lightly on the chest can create a subtle, longer-lasting scent.
-
Distance: Hold the bottle 3-6 inches away to ensure an even and light application.
-
Amount: Don't overdo it! Start with 2-4 sprays and adjust based on the cologne's strength and your preference. A general rule is less is more.
-
Clothing (Optional): Some men spray lightly on their clothing, but be cautious as some fragrances can stain. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid spraying delicate fabrics.
-
Avoid These Areas:
- Hair: Perfume can dry out your hair.
- Face: Avoid direct contact with your face, especially your eyes.
- Sensitive skin: If you have sensitive skin, consider spraying on clothing instead of directly on your skin.
Remember that personal preference and the specific fragrance play a role. Experiment to find what works best for you.
