The Easiest Beauty & Makeup Hacks Ever

Proper Perfume Application

Perfume is a refined mixture of essential oils, fixatives, and solvents. The fragrance can be mixed with ethanol or water and sold in various forms, such as parfums and Eau de toilettes. A parfum contains pure perfume and up to thirty percent of aromatic compounds. An eau de toilette is a lighter scent and does not contain more than ten percent fragrance.

The proper perfume application begins before you put the product on. It starts when you are choosing a scent. Select a fragrance pleasing to you with the right amount of top and bottom notes. Before you apply the perfume, take a shower to make sure your skin absorbs the scent. Hold the bottle about five to seven inches away from your body and spray. Your skin should not get wet from the spray, and if it does, it means you need to move it further away. Apply the perfume to your pulse points: your collarbones, knees, wrists, and neckline.
