The 6 Strange-Sounding Places You Should Apply Perfume

posted in Fragrance on 8/2/2016

Behind the Ears:

Like your wrists, the areas behind your ears are considered "pulse points," where the veins are closest to the skin, thus generating more heat and amplifying your scent. Dabbing your fragrance on these points will give you more immediate results.

Hair:

Some believe that your strands carry fragrance even better than your skin—you've just got to be careful about application. Instead of misting it directly on your hair (Remember: alcohol dries it out), spritz it on your brush so that it will be disperse more evenly and subtly.

Behind Knees:

heat rises. So it makes sense to apply fragrance somewhere on the lower half of your body that will evaporate throughout the day. Like the insides of your elbows, the areas behind your knees are pulse points, so it's the most logical part of your lower limbs.

Inside Elbows:

Another obscure pulse point, it's a more tucked away alternative to your wrists. And note: To maximize the diffusion of your fragrance, be sure to moisturize your arms (or any other part of your body) before you spritz on your scent.

Down Your Back

It may seem odd, but fragrance expert Chandler Burr insists it strikes the perfect balance between giving your fragrance a long shelf life and not having it be too overbearing for those around you.

Belly Button:

The belly button, ankles and behind the knees are surprising areas which carry fragrance for a long-lasting effect.
