When you buy a luxurious perfume, you expect it to last all day. But in reality, smelling good is more linked to the way you perfume yourself. And there is a way to go about it. An image consultant reveals the ultimate tip for smelling good until the evening.
To put on perfume, everyone has their own technique: most of the time, the person simply takes the bottle and sprays it on their neck or everywhere, all over their body. However, wearing good perfume is in reality an art, and here is the secret.
When getting ready in the morning, the finishing touch is often to add a spritz of perfume. For the chosen fragrance to last all day, you must carry out this gesture in a certain way. There is therefore no point in spraying yourself with perfume, because apart from wasting it, this will not allow its precious scent to last any longer. What is the right method then? Image consultant Jean-Claude Mercier reveals his tip to us, in an Instagram post.
Choose carefully the parts of the body to perfume
The technique that Jean-Claude Mercier reveals comes from Gabrielle Chanel, which is to say a sure bet. She used to place her perfume on specific points, directly on her clothes and in particular:
- Inside his jacket;
- Under his arms;
- At the waist level, whether that of her skirts or her pants.
“By depositing the perfume in this way, the heat of the body will allow the fragrance to further diffuse its notes and thus leave a delicious trail throughout the day. concludes the expert. Try it the next time you pick up your favorite perfume, to smell good all day long!
Another tip, always spray your fragrance on hot spots on the body or “pulse points”: the wrists, in the hollow behind the ears, in the folds of the elbows or even behind the knees. Also remember to hydrate your skin well; and yes, perfume molecules cling better when your epidermis is nourished.
