1. Apply to pulse points + air dry – Roll onto your pulse points (wrists, throat, behind ears, inner elbows, behind knees) & let that yummy ish AIR DRY.
2. Resist wrist rubbing – For the love of all that is good & aromatic, RESIST RUBBING YOUR WRISTS TOGETHER. It dulls the top notes – aka the notes you initially fell in love with! – because they’re the most delicate molecules in the formula. It also speeds up evaporation (boo!) & can change the way the fragrance smells (hiss!) from your skin heating up & mixing with your natural oils at a faster rate.
3. Scentless moisturizer – Apply scentless moisturizer to the areas you roll your fragrance – it helps the scent last longer.
4. Remember – cool, constant, dark, & dry
Cool – Perfume is not a fan of extreme environmental changes like going from hot to cold. Big shifts in temperature can set off chemical reactions – especially with essential oils – & age your perfume faster.
Constant – Keep the temperature of your fragrance as constant as possible. 60-70 degrees is ideal AF.
Dark – The bottles are black for a reason. Light contributes to breaking down the chemical makeup of fragrance, so keep it out of sunlight & call it a day.
Dry – As much as we all love to keep our perfume collection in our bathrooms, extreme humidity & temperature fluctuations don’t exactly make the bathroom a dry place. It’s giving no-no. Choose your bedroom or set up a cute fragrance table in a happy (cool, constant, dark, dry) corner of your home.
