Who doesn’t love perfumes? We all do! Sometimes we feel naked without it.
We start our day spritzing our favorite scent and instantly feel fabulous, energetic, happy and confident.
Every time we pass by the perfume section of a mall, we just feel enticed to try the different scent and just see which perfume suits us best.
So, before you finally decide on what perfume will you purchase next, here are some interesting facts about perfumes that you might not be aware of.
Some might arouse your curiosity; others might help you make the right perfume decision.
1. Heat activates the scent
Applying a scent to your pulse points (wrists, behind the ears) means that the scent is located on points where the blood vessels are closest to the skin. This means that the fragrance is heated slightly, making the scent radiate further.
2. Scent should be treated gently
When most people apply a scent, they spritz their wrist and then quickly rub it against their other wrist. This is a common error, rubbing your wrists together can impact the top notes. Secondly, it mixes the perfume with your natural oils, which can change the way it smells. Spritz, let it dry and enjoy!
3. Scent differs from person to person
The oil levels in your skin, your diet and the pH or acidity of your skin can all affect how a fragrance smells when applied. Your uniqueness directly affects the scent, making it even more distinct!
4. Moisture helps to maintain fragrance
Applying a layer of moisturising cream or lotion prior to your fragrance each morning means that your scent is likely to hold for longer. Layering your scent with a similar fragranced body lotion will amplify the scent.
5. Scent can improve your mood
A scent can be a wonderful mood enhancer evoking feelings of happiness, joy and certainly more confidence. Special memories are often also remembered through nostalgic fragrances.
