While everyone develops their own rituals and preferences there's a few basic guidelines you should follow when it comes to wearing and applying perfumes and fragrances. Granted, you don't want to give your friends and co-workers a headache from putting on too much while at the same time if you put on too little fragrance in the wrong places you won't be able to enjoy the emotional and psychological benefits that perfume has to offer.
Despite popular belief, putting perfume on your wrist and then rubbing them together is probably not the best way to go about it. In fact, some perfume experts state that by doing so you'll crush and destroy precious perfume molecules. Spraying a little bit on our wrists is fine but to play it safe it's usually better to let the perfume dry on its own. You might find the fragrance creates a different feeling and mood than before.
Another topic of debate in the perfume world is whether or not it's better to walk through a misted cloud of fragrance or to spray the perfume directly on your skin. It goes without saying that the overall concentration of the scent will diminish if it lands on your clothes and not your skin. However, if your perfume has a rather strong or overbearing feeling this may be a better method of application. Certain areas you can use to target sprays of perfume include the wrists, behind the knees etc.
If you'd like to get to know a perfume a little better without applying it directly to your skin you can spray your clothing although be forewarned that some perfume can stain fabric. Make sure to test an inconspicuous area first because some of the perfumes also contain toxic chemicals for it to produce that perfect fragrance smell. Avoid using these types of unhealthy perfume products and give your body the reason to reward you with good health and skin care products.
Scarves, gloves, sheets, and curtains are all items that can be used during your experiment. If there's a scent you're totally in love with there's nothing wrong with using it on other things besides yourself.
If for some reason you find a particular fragrance offensive and need to remove it quickly you can try rubbing the affected areas first with unscented deodorant and then washing with liquid laundry detergent.
