A Guide to Wear Fragrances

A Quick Guide to Wearing Fragrance

Maximise Longevity + Create a Memorable Sillage

Where and how you apply perfume can significantly affect how long it lasts and how it projects.


Best Application Points

Apply fragrance to your pulse points—areas where blood flows closer to the skin’s surface, naturally warming the scent:

  • Wrists
  • Inner elbows
  • Base of the throat
  • Back of the knees
  • Behind the ears

🌬️ Pro tip: Try applying scent to the back of your neck to create a “fragrance scarf.” This releases subtle wafts throughout the day without overwhelming your nose.


🚫 Avoid These Common Mistakes

  • Don’t rub your wrists together. It damages the delicate top notes.
  • Avoid spraying directly on the chest or décolletage if exposed to sunlight—fragrance plus UV light can irritate the skin.
  • Don’t overspray behind the ears if you have sensitive skin or wear jewellery.

💧 Apply to Moisturized Skin

Fragrance clings better to hydrated skin. Apply your scent after a warm shower, when skin is:

  • Clean
  • Warm
  • Slightly damp
  • Nourished with a fragrance-free or complementary-scented lotion

This helps anchor the fragrance and improve its longevity.
