Some perfume devotees love to spray perfume on other pressure
points also the neck and inner wrists. Other pressure
points include the
harder-to-reach, oft-neglected spots behind the ears and behind the knees.
Because these spots are relatively hidden, many perfume lovers would argue
against any direct benefits of spraying perfume on these spots. On any given
day, you probably would not encounter a large number of people who would sniff
behind your ears
and behind your knees. So for maximum benefit, most people
stick to spraying perfume on their neck and inner wrists.
The most public way of all perfume spraying practices is to bit
the perfume on pressure points. Once
applying perfume, you want to emphasis on patting it on your internal
wrists and neckline, which are some of the warmest parts of your body. The warmness
of these parts will help diffuse the scent as your body naturally warms up all
over the day. You could select to spray your perfume straight on each pressure
point, or choose to spray the perfume onto one pressure point and then use your
inner wrists to dab and spread the perfume.
Another popular alternative method is to spray perfume directly
onto your clothes. Many people do this unintentionally as they spray perfume
onto their pressure points or into a cloud. Others do it intentionally, and not
without good reason. Here's why: most perfumers today are not primarily
concerned with how a perfume will smell on your skin. Perfumers know that most
people will test perfumes on paper strips as they breeze through department
stores. Thus many perfumes are constructed with the focus on how it will smell
on paper.
Additional general perfume spraying technique is the Cloud
Method. This technique is usually used by the perfume-shy-those scared of possibly
wreaking fragrant chaos in public places with strong stillage or an overwhelming
scent. If this sounds like you, give this method a try. With a spray or two,
create a cloud of perfume in front of you. Walk into the cloud of perfume as it
starts to settle.
The idea is that the perfume is evenly distributed all over your
body and clothes. Then again, if you are perfume-shy you could always just do a
half-spray on one of your wrists and simply dab the perfume onto your other
pressure points, thereby spreading a smaller amount of perfume. Remember if you
use the Cloud Method, your woman's perfume could fade faster as most of it was
probably lost in the air. Also the Cloud Method avoids those pressure points
that help warm and revive your perfume.
Now how does this apply to perfume spraying methods, you ask?
Perfume often smells different on your skin than it does on your clothes. And
now with the current situation of perfume development looking the way it is,
perhaps you might better enjoy the way a perfume smells on your clothes than on
your skin. You could experiment by spraying perfume on your clothes to see if
it lingers longer or simply smells better. Just check before you experiment to
ensure that your perfume won't damage, stain or dye your clothing.
As any perfume expert will tell you, there is no right way to
spray perfume. Spritz, dab or create perfume clouds to your heart's content.
Whatever your perfume application method for applying perfume for women, the
end effect is perfume on your skin-just the way you wanted it!
