Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

I spray it on my neck, wrists and in my hair. I always carry a mini bottle in my bag for touch ups during the day too.

The alcohol in perfume can damage your clothing, and is drying to your hair. I would only spray it on thoroughly moisturised skin.

Hahaha, I've also heard that it's bad to rub your wrists together but don't remember why. But I've always patted since!!
it bruises the fragrance when you rub it together

It makes the fragrance more delicate that way.

When we spray ourselves, we can't tell how strong it is because we're surrounding ourselves with it. But you know when you go out, and you'll smell the cloud of perfume/cologne trailing behind someone and it almost makes you choke? That's what you can smell like to other people if you put on so much.

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

I work in the fragrance industry and I prefer to spray once on my wrists and on my neck below the ear (pulse points). And when I am heading out to somewhere special, I spray twice in the air and walk into as well.
Rubbing the fragrance also disrupts the layers in the fragrance ie. top, heart and base notes. Think of it as bruising a fruit. You don't want to do this! It causes the fragrance to change in scent. It may even effect the longevity of your fragrance. Try to avoid patting as well if you can. HTH

Usually on my neck and chest, I also spray my hair very lightly sometimes too. I know they say to spray and walk into it but I honestly hate doing that lol!

I always was told that rubbing the fragrance was bad, but what about rollerballs? Are they ruining the true scent of the perfume when you put them on?

Once behind each ear, the nape of my neck, on each wrist, the small of my back, behind each knee ... and the inner thigh!

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

I usually spray a little on my hair, it seems to last longer and some on my neck. You can put a dab on the back of your ears too.

I just spray in the air and walk through it

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

wrists or elbows, depending on how strong the perfume is.
And I also spray my hips. That way I don't feel overpowered by the scents
I NEVER dare put it in my lovely hair, so afraid of ruining it

and tip: if you feel like you got too much perfume on, try and pour vinegar on it, and then wash the area with soap and water after. Works for me

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

I spray my wrists and on my chest, then I leave it to dry by itself. People say that you destroy the molecules in the perfume and weakens the scent if you rub the perfume, so I don't. I don't know if that's true though ;D

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

Depends on how heavy the scent. Coco Chanel Mademoiselle is the strongest perfume I have to walk into it. All my other fragrances are I spray 3 times across my chest.

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

I spray each wrist, my neck, chest & back of my neck. I just let them dry on their own, I don't pat my wrists together. I can't do that whole spray the air & walk into it thing lol!

Re: How do you spray your perfume on?

This may seem like a lot but one spray behind each ear, onto each wrist and shoulder.
post #47 of 53

I spray both wrists twice, neck, stomach, and back of neck. depending on what I'm wearing, I'll spray my clothes. LOVE sweet smelling perfume....

post #48 of 53

I usually spray my neck and wrist once each. BUT.... now I've found that spraying a cotton ball and sticking it in my bra works wonders. The smell stays with me all day :)

 

post #49 of 53

It depends on my mood. But usually I spray a bit in my hair, my neck and my wrists.

post #50 of 53

I used to spray once in a day. on pulse.

I also spray twice in the air and walk through it. Some times I'll also spray on my wrists if it's a lighter scent.

I spray my neck (both sides), chest and each wrist once.  I never rub/pat or spray onto clothes/hair.  I do find though that I'm quite lucky and scents stay with me for a long time.
