Targeting Pulse Points
Body spray is our trusty partner, but it’s all about the job we give it. The secret’s in aiming for pulse points—our body’s warm spots that amp up the scent. Here’s a little map:
| Pulse Point | Location |
|---|---|
| Neck | Right under the ears |
| Elbows | Where they bend |
| Ears | Lobes and behind them |
| Wrists | Inside part |
| Throat | Under the chin |
| Chest | Middle of the chest |
| Torso | Above the waist |
Focusing our spray on these spots lets its magic spread gently all day (1). But let’s not get carried away—we’re avoiding the ‘walking flower shop’ effect by being picky about where we spritz.
Considering Clothing for Perfume
Our clothes can play a big role too. Turns out, fabrics are scent savers, hugging onto our fragrance longer than skin (1). So when we’re picking out our wardrobe, here’s the scoop on fabric and fragrance:
| Type of Fabric | Fragrance Retention |
|---|---|
| Cotton | So-so |
| Silk | Really holds it, but watch for stains |
| Polyester | Super grippy |
| Wool | Pretty good |
| Blends | It’s a wild card |
It’s a good idea to avoid drowning our outfit in spray—certain fabrics might not be too happy about it. Instead, we’ll aim for spots that make the scent pop without the worry of stains. By combining pulse points with smart clothing choices, we’ll carry that lovely aroma with us wherever we go. Want more advice?
