Perfume can help complete your outfit, even if it’s just jeans and a t-shirt. With a little perfume, you can rock your date night and seduce your wonderful lover. However, there are some misconceptions about how to use perfume, where to wear it, and which perfume to buy. There’s a big difference between the right and wrong way to use perfume, and this can transform your entire evening. Fortunately, the steps to apply perfume correctly are also simple and easy.

Find the right perfume for you. Don’t use a perfume just because it’s a brand name. Remember that you have to really love the top and bottom notes of the perfume.
- The top note is the scent you notice as soon as you open the perfume bottle. Popular scents are citrus, fruity and herbal. The top notes often fade very quickly, so it’s important to check the base notes as well. [1] X Research Source
- The base notes are usually woody and natural. To find out if you like the base scent or not, spray a little perfume on the outside of your wrist, wait 20 minutes and smell it again. [2] X Research Source
- You can also choose perfumes by going to stores or shops selling perfumes in the mall and asking them for directions. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0a/Apply-Perfume-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-2- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0a/Apply-Perfume-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Choose a day or night fragrance. If you just go for a walk, go to work or go to the beach, use a daytime fragrance. If you’re planning a date or going out to dinner, maybe you should try a nighttime fragrance.
- See the label on the perfume’s packaging. Fragrances “day” or “night” are often listed on the label, but you can also guess by the color of the perfume bottle if you can’t find this information. Usually, bright yellows and oranges suggest spring and are also daytime fragrances. Dark blue, red and purple often refer to night fragrances. [4] X Research Sources
- Night perfumes are usually sprayed on or near the neck area. The reason is because the night fragrance doesn’t last long, plus you also want an immediate impact. In this case, apply a little more moisturizer to the area you want to apply the perfume to to keep the scent longer. [5] X Research Sources
- Daytime fragrances are usually sprayed on the hips or knees. That’s because the fragrance of the day perfume spreads throughout the day and is more fragrant. You should use a little more moisturizer near the place of perfume application to make the scent last longer. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/12/Apply-Perfume-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-3- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/12/Apply-Perfume-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Take a shower. Clean, smooth and warm skin will better absorb perfume. Remember to take a hot shower to open the pores. [7] X Research Sources
- Use an unscented or lightly scented shower gel or soap. Surely you don’t want the scent of perfume to “conflict” with the smell of soap. [8] X Research Sources
- This is also the right time to moisturize the skin. Use a moisturizing cream or oil to make it more receptive to the skin.
- Shampooing also helps if you’re going to put perfume on your hair. Remember to use conditioner to soften your hair and make it easier for the perfume to stay on.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c7/Apply-Perfume-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-4- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c7/Apply-Perfume-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Dry the skin. After taking a hot bath, remember to dry your skin. If the skin is still damp, it will be difficult for the perfume to stick. Pay special attention to hard-to-reach areas like the heels, neck, and hair. These areas are known as the “pulse points,” where perfume is most effective. [9] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/74/Apply-Perfume-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-5- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/74/Apply-Perfume-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Skin moisturizing. If you don’t moisturize in the shower, you’ll need to do this after drying your skin. Perfume will stay better with smooth skin instead of dry skin. [10] X Research Sources[11] X Research Sources
- Oil or body cream will work best. Take a small amount into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together, then massage all over the skin. [12] X Research Source
- Another very good option is Vaseline cream. Perfume will stick to the oil wax molecules instead of the pores, so the scent will stay longer. Take some cream and rub it on your skin. [13] X Research Source
- The trick here is to tap on the “circuit points.” Some possible “pulse points” are the feet, knees, elbows, collarbone, and neck. These are the places where perfume is most effective. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/80/Apply-Perfume-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-6- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/80/Apply-Perfume-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Apply perfume before getting dressed. Perfume sprayed directly on clothes can leave ugly water stains, especially when you’re getting ready for a romantic date night. Perfume will radiate fragrance on the “pulse point” better than on clothes, because the odor molecules will work when in direct contact with the skin. [15] X Research Source[16] X Research Source
Perfume
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/32/Apply-Perfume-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-7- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/32/Apply-Perfume-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Hold the perfume bottle away from your body. You should hold the perfume bottle at least 12cm – 15cm away from your chest/body and point the nozzle towards you. If the perfume wets your skin, you are spraying it too close. [17] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b6/Apply-Perfume-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-8- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b6/Apply-Perfume-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Spray perfume on “pulse points.” These are areas with blood vessels located near the surface of the skin. These spots are warmer than other places, and because the heat rises higher, the aroma will spread more. These pulse points are usually the collarbone, knee, and neck. [18] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Apply-Perfume-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-9- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Apply-Perfume-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Spray in the correct position. Instead of misting perfume and stepping into it, spray it precisely on the “pulse points.” This will increase the efficiency and reduce the waste of perfume. [19] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Apply-Perfume-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-10- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Apply-Perfume-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Dab the perfume on the skin. With a non-spray perfume bottle, you can always use your hands to apply perfume to the “pulse point.” You just need to put a little perfume on the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, then dot it on the skin and apply it gently with a small circle.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1b/Apply-Perfume-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-11- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1b/Apply-Perfume-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wait for the “pulse point” to dry naturally without rubbing. Do not cover the pulse points with clothing until they are dry. Try to wait at least 10 minutes. Heat and natural oils can change the scent of perfume, so you should not rub it on the skin that has been perfumed. [20] X Research Source
- Many people have the habit of rubbing their wrists together after applying perfume. However, when you rub your wrists together, the perfume molecules break down and the fragrance fades. [21] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6c/Apply-Perfume-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-12- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6c/Apply-Perfume-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Do not spray perfume too much. Just a small amount of perfume is already fragrant. Better to spray too little than too much. You can put the perfume bottle in your bag and add more later if you feel it is not fragrant enough.
Choose the right location
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/27/Apply-Perfume-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-13- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/27/Apply-Perfume-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Brush the perfume on your hair. The scent will stick to the fibers, so the hair is a great place to store the scent for a long time. Perfume also clings to hair care products like shampoo and conditioner, making the scent last longer.
- Just spray the perfume on the comb/hairbrush. You can also use your hands or a towel to dab the perfume on the comb and brush your hair gently. Remember to brush all of your hair instead of just a few spots. [22] X Research Source
- Make sure not to put too much perfume on your hair, as the alcohol in the perfume will dry out your hair.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0d/Apply-Perfume-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-14- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0d/Apply-Perfume-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Dab a little perfume behind the ear. This “vessel point” has veins located very close to the surface of the skin. Take a small amount of perfume on your fingertips and dab behind your ears. A little perfume behind the ear will create an immediate effect and is most effective with night perfume. [23] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Apply-Perfume-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-15- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Apply-Perfume-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Dab some perfume near your collarbone. The neck/clavicle area has hollows because of the bone structure, so the perfume has plenty of places to settle and interact with the skin. You can use your fingertips to dab perfume or spray perfume on your skin from a distance of 12-15 cm. [24] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Apply-Perfume-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-16- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Apply-Perfume-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Spray perfume down your back. The back is not a place where perfume is usually applied. However, this area is completely covered by clothes, so the fragrance lasts longer and is not too ostentatious. You just need to reach behind your back and spray a few times, or ask someone to help if you can’t reach the back. [25] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/85/Apply-Perfume-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-17- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/85/Apply-Perfume-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Put perfume on the heels. The knee is a constantly moving part, so it also radiates a lot of heat. This is a favorable condition for perfume to take effect, and the fragrance will gradually spread upwards. You just need to dab a little perfume on the heels or spray perfume from a distance of 12-15 cm. [26] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/65/Apply-Perfume-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-18- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/65/Apply-Perfume-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Apply perfume to the inside of the elbow. Like the knee, the elbow is a “pulse point” that moves throughout the day and radiates heat. Use your fingertips to dab perfume on the inside of your elbow or spray perfume from a distance of 12-15 cm. [27] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f1/Apply-Perfume-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-19- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f1/Apply-Perfume-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Apply perfume to the navel. This cologne point may sound strange, but it’s a great place for perfume to linger and interact with the “pulse point.” This position is also covered by a shirt, so the scent is not too “sweet”. Take a little perfume on the tips of your fingers, rub around and inside the navel. [28] X Research Sources
Use perfume
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9a/Apply-Perfume-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-20- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Apply-Perfume-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Get acquainted with perfume. Your skin will react differently to different perfumes. Notice if you still notice the scent of perfume a few hours after applying it. You need to check to make sure your skin doesn’t react badly to a certain perfume. [29] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bb/Apply-Perfume-Step-21-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-21- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bb/Apply-Perfume-Step-21-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Reapply perfume every four hours. Even the best perfume doesn’t last all day long. Ask a friend or family member if they think you need more perfume. Sometimes you can get used to the smell of perfume so you don’t know you are still very fragrant. [30] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d5/Apply-Perfume-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-22- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d5/Apply-Perfume-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use alcohol-based wet wipes and hand sanitizer. If you feel that the amount of perfume just applied to your body seems to be too much, you just need to use an alcohol-based wet tissue and hand sanitizer to wash it off, then dry and reapply the perfume. Remember not to spray or dab too much perfume this time. [31] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/23/Apply-Perfume-Step-23-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-23- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/23/Apply-Perfume-Step-23-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Store perfume in a cool place, away from sunlight. Heat and light can cause chemicals in perfume to change. By then, the perfume will change the smell and will not be great for your date night anymore. The best place to store perfume is in the refrigerator. [32] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/01/Apply-Perfume-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply-Perfume-Step-24- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/01/Apply-Perfume-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Apply- Perfume-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Check the expiration date on the perfume bottle. Like any other product, perfume has an expiration date. If you notice a strong smell when you open the bottle, your perfume is too old. [33] X Research Sources
Advice
- Do not leave perfume in direct sunlight, as this will cause the fragrance to fade faster.
- If you don’t like perfume but still want a light scent, try scented body wash and lotion with the same scent.
- Try new scents from time to time. Using the same perfume all the time is boring, and you may no longer feel the aroma when you get used to the scent of that perfume bottle.
- Swap out other perfumes on special occasions like Valentine’s Day or Christmas.
- If you don’t like perfume, you can try a body spray.
- Try a men’s perfume. As odd as it may sound, there are many men’s fragrances on the market that are also great for women.
- Don’t use a deodorant with a different scent, or you’ll end up with an overpowering scent.
- Store perfume in the fridge, and you’ll keep it for two to three weeks longer.
Warning
- Don’t put on too strong perfume that makes people around you uncomfortable.
- Avoid spraying perfume. You only need to spray a few times to smell good.
- Do not spray perfume on clothes. Perfume can stain clothes and just stick to clothes and not on your body.
- Each person has a “scent ring” in a radius about the length of an arm. Your perfume should be just enough for the person entering your ring to notice. Perfume must be one of the most delicate and personal messages you send to your communicators.
- Never rub your wrists together (or rub one wrist to apply perfume to the other). This action does not break down odor molecules or deodorize the perfume, but it can generate heat and cause the fragrance layers to react differently as the perfume evaporates more quickly.
- Many liquid perfumes are made from petroleum or oil. Wax perfumes rarely have these ingredients.
