How to Apply and Store Perfume for a Better Experience

A good application routine helps a fragrance develop cleanly and protects the bottle over time.

Apply with intention

Spray from a short distance onto pulse points such as the neck and wrists. Avoid rubbing wrists together; friction can change the opening impression. Start with fewer sprays and add only when appropriate for the setting.

Skin, fabric and sensitivity

Moisturised skin may hold scent more evenly. Fabric can retain fragrance longer, but always test an unseen area first because perfume may mark delicate material. Patch test if your skin is sensitive.

Store it correctly

Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and frequent temperature changes. A drawer or closed shelf is usually better than a bathroom counter or sunny window.
