Fragrance Application Tips

Are you guilty of the fragrance cloud walk-through? While this application method may look and feel impressive, it’s not very effective!

So, how do you make your favourite fragrances last all day? Keep reading for practical application tips that will have you smelling amazing all day. As experts when it comes to perfume in South Africa, The French Parfumerie knows what we’re talking about.

Apply Fragrance to Your Pulse Points

Pulse points, like your wrists and neck, are naturally warm. This warmth helps with projecting your scent of choice so you won’t have to use as much of the fragrance as you would on other parts of your body.

Always Spray Directly to Your Skin

Avoid spraying a cloud of women’s perfume or men’s cologne and walking through it. Not only does this use an unnecessary amount of product, but your fragrance won’t last as long as it would if you sprayed it directly onto your skin.

Layer Your Fragrance with a Matching Lotion

For longer wear and a deeper scent experience, wear a matching lotion. Your lotion doesn’t have to be the exact same scent as your men’s cologne or women’s perfume, but it should be somewhat complimentary.

Spray a Light Mist to Clothing

Spray a light mist onto clothing items like jackets and scarves to enjoy a long-lasting aroma that serves as the perfect accessory to your outfit! A few, light spritzes should do the trick nicely. 

Bonus Tip: Choose Oil-Based Fragrances

Oil-based fragrances, like the ones offered by The French Parfumerie, tend to last longer— even on the busiest of days. This is because oil-based fragrances contain a higher concentration of aromatic compounds than alcohol-based fragrances do.
