Clean Skin and Warmth. Here’s How to Apply Men’s Perfumes.

by Scents Journey 27 Apr 2024 0 Comments
You don’t want to be the person whose scent stays in the room until someone opens a window. You want to be the man around whom there’s an intoxicating yet subtle combination of sensual accords, awakening a desire in everyone to come closer and soak in the scent. All you need to know is the right technique and the best spots to apply men’s perfume.

How to Apply Men’s Perfumes

The right place to apply perfume is the pulse points, i.e. the places where the body warms up the most, enabling a gradual and even release of the individual ingredients. The neck, wrists, chest, shoulders and inner elbows – that’s where perfume develops beautifully, regardless of gender. Men can also use the lower jaw and forearms to make their every handshake an experience. However, if you want to avoid being one of those people you can smell for miles, always choose only two or three spots to apply it.

There are also perfume no-go zones. You should avoid putting it in your hair, on your underarms, or in other sensitive areas (you know where we mean). The alcohol and other substances contained in perfumes do more harm than good in these areas, and dryness, irritation or itching are the last thing you want there.

Men’s Perfumes that Everyone Loves

How Much Is Just Right

We can’t give you universal advice on the ideal amount of perfume. It always depends on the composition, the fragrance type, and the concentration (see the differences between perfume, EdP, EdT and EdC). Also, you’ll find that perfume lasts a slightly shorter time on dry skin than it does on oily skin. And choose the intensity according to the event. Colleagues sitting next to you in a closed office will probably be happier if you limit it to a subtle scent. But you can use a bit extra if you’re going to an outdoor event – and even a drop more if you’re headed to a party.

If you have a new men’s perfume at home, it’s best to try it out first. Start with a small amount on your wrist and sniff it after a few hours to see if you can still smell the fragrance. If not, you can use a little more next time.

Mastering the Technique – How to Apply Perfume Correctly

The ideal time to apply perfume is after showering. You wash all the other smells off your skin, and the heat opens your pores, enabling the drops of perfume to soak into the skin properly. Dry your skin well, treat it to a dose of hydration (use a fragrance-free body lotion), and spray the perfume from a distance of about 10 to 15 cm before you get dressed. A perfume’s ingredients can damage your clothes, jewellery or watch.



Don’t Spray Perfume Into the Air

What else can you do to make the scent last longer – not just on your body, but also in the bottle? Avoid these common mistakes and tips that don’t actually work.

You spritz the perfume into the air and stand under the falling microdroplets. Do you do this too? Then you may as well stop. It might make the floor of your room smell great, but the effect on your body will be minimal. The perfume’s ingredients need to react with your skin.
You probably also know not to rub your hands against your wrists after applying it in an attempt to get the perfume to smell good. This just speeds up the evaporation, and you will miss out on the gradual development of the perfume from its top notes to its base notes.
Store your perfume bottles in a cool, dark place. Rapid changes in temperature or sunlight shorten their shelf life and can even change the fragrance completely.
For the same reason, don’t take the entire bottle on your travels – instead, reach for a travel pack.
Less is more. Even if you can’t smell the perfume after a while, people around you do (just ask!), and you’ll probably find you don’t need to apply more. Spraying it on once a day should be enough.


For a Sensual Fragrance That Lasts All Day

And now you know how to make yourself smell just right, which will help you create an enchanting cloud of fragrance around you with the perfect level of intensity. Which perfume are you going to go with?
