A step by step guide for the perfect application.

How you apply your fragrance effects its scent and longevity, while also being able to save you money. Find out why below.

1. Choose your area of application. The best spots are the hotter areas of your body, as your body heat naturally aids the release of the fragrance aroma. These include the neck, chest and wrists. Pick a maximum of two areas.

Heat Areas — Spray Here!

2. Make sure your skin is dry. Wet skin only goes to dilute the fragrance, and can make the oils evaporate quickly.

3. Spray six inches from the skin. Spraying too far from the skin wastes fragrance, as most of it falls to the floor. Spraying too close can also concentrate the fragrance on too small of an area. Six inches is the perfect balance.

4. Spray onto the skin, not clothes. Your natural body oils will aid the release of the fragrance and create a lasting sillage. Also, fragrance oils may stain clothing.

5. Don’t use too much. Heavy spraying means the fragrance will be overpowering, and all the notes won’t come through. Between one and three sprays for Sharp fragrances is best. Lowering spray count can also save money.

6. Don’t rub. Rubbing fragrance actually makes the scent weaker as it breaks the fragrance molecules. Spray and leave.

Follow these tips and get the most out of your fragrance. We are sure you will immediately notice the difference!

Have a productive day.
