Mistakes To Avoid While Wearing Perfumes

Overapplication: One of the most common mistakes is applying too much perfume. A little goes a long way. Apply perfumes to your pulse points such as your inner wrists and behind the ear lobes as well. (Image Source: Canva)

Storage: Avoid storing your perfume bottles in direct sunlight or on a windowsill in a warm room since this can degrade the scent's intensity and potency. If your perfume has been improperly stored, you may start to notice that it doesn't smell right or has separated or clouded, even if it is still within its expiration date. Keep it in a cool space, shelf or dresser indoors and away from direct sunlight. (Image Source: Canva)

Perfumes last longer on moisturised skin especially elbows and knees in addition to your wrists, neck, and ears. So applying fragrances after a shower is recommended. When our skin is adequately moisturised, it is less likely to neutralise the fragrance, allowing it to fully develop and last longer on the skin. (Image Source: Canva)

Verify the perfume's shelf life: Use the perfume within its declared shelf life, to get the best experience from it. (Image Source: Canva)

Skin-to-skin difference: One perfume may smell different on one person and may smell different on another. This is because perfume interacts with the inherent skin odour of everyone. So one size doesn't fit all with perfumes. (Image Source: Canva)
