At Plowden & Fallow, we're passionate about helping you to harness the magic of fragrance utilising it as a powerful tool for self-expression and personal enhancement. In this short blog, we here at Plowden & Fallow’s share our 5 top tips on how to apply perfume, so you can confidently and elegantly wear your chosen scent.

1. Choose the Right Perfume

The first step to applying perfume is choosing the right fragrance. Plowden & Fallow offers an exquisite selection of fragrances, each designed to cater to various preferences. From the vibrant notes of citrus to the rich warmth of oriental blends, there's a perfume for every mood and occasion in our range.

2. Know Your Pulse Points

Once you've selected your signature scent, it's time to apply it strategically and with care. Plowden & Fallow suggests focusing on your pulse points. These areas emit heat, which can intensify the fragrance and make it last longer. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inside the elbows. Applying perfume to these areas will ensure it subtly envelops you throughout the day. During application near to the head be sure to avoid any patches of sensitive or broken skin, the eyes and mouth.

3. Spray, Don't Rub

One common mistake many people make is rubbing their wrists together after applying perfume. Plowden & Fallow advises against this. Rubbing can break down the delicate scent molecules and alter the fragrance's composition. Instead, lightly dab or let the perfume dry naturally.

4. Layering Scents

For those who want to make a lasting impression, you could explore layering scents. This involves using complementary products such as scented body lotions, shower gels, or hair mists from the same fragrance line. Layering not only enhances the perfume's longevity but also creates a harmonious scent experience.

5. Less is More

When it comes to perfume, less is often more. A light, subtle application can be just as captivating as an overwhelming one. We would always advise starting with a small amount and gradually building up the intensity if necessary. Remember, you want to leave a delicate trail of scent, not a cloud.

Perfume for Every Occasion

We at Plowden & Fallow recognize that different occasions call for different fragrances. We would recommend lighter, fresher scents for daytime activities and deeper, more complex ones for evenings and special events. Matching your perfume to the occasion ensures you always smell appropriate and alluring. Our Luxury British Fine Fragrances can be viewed here.
