Knowing where to apply perfume can make a noticeable difference in how long it will last and how it will develop throughout the day. Strategic placement allows for the scent to interact with the skin, body heat and movement. This helps the fragrance diffuse gradually instead of fading quickly.
The first thing to note is that when it comes to areas of the body that radiate the most heat, your pulse points are your best bet. These areas naturally generate warmth, which makes them one of the most effective places to apply your perfume, as this will help release the fragrance over time.
The neck and the collarbone area are popular choices for longevity and projection. Fragrance applied here stays close to the nose for your own enjoyment and also radiates outwards, creating a subtle scent trail. For a softer effect, spraying behind the ears or the base of the neck allows the perfume to linger without becoming overpowering.
Another effective but often overlooked area is the pulse points at the back of the knees and ankles. These work particularly well in warmer weather as heat rises and carries the fragrance upward throughout the day. This method envelops you in a subtle but long-lasting presence that moves naturally with you.
Applying perfume to clothing or hair can also extend longevity, but it should be done carefully. Fabric and hair will hold scent longer than skin, though a test on a small area should be done from a distance to avoid straining or drying.
By choosing the right application points, you can make the most of your carefully selected scents. For a scent that is sure to last from day to night, why not have a look at our curated collection at KDJ Inspired?
