How To Apply Perfume

At Plowden & Fallow, we are passionate about helping you harness the magic of fragrance, using it as a powerful tool for self-expression and personal enhancement. In this short guide, we share our five 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 vibrant citrus notes to the rich warmth of oriental blends, there is a perfume for every mood and occasion in our range.

2. Know Your Pulse Points

Once you have selected your signature scent, apply it strategically and with care. Plowden & Fallow suggests focusing on your pulse points. These areas emit heat, which can intensify the fragrance and help it last longer. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears and inside the elbows. During application near the head, avoid 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 can enhance the perfume’s longevity and create a more 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. You want to leave a delicate trail of scent, not a cloud.

Perfume for Every Occasion

We at Plowden & Fallow recognise 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. Our luxury British fine fragrances can be viewed here.
