How to Apply Cologne for Maximum Impact

In this short Plowden & Fallow guide, we explore how to apply cologne and fine fragrance for maximum impact, helping you elevate your presence and leave a lasting impression.

Target Pulse Points

Pulse points are areas where blood vessels sit close to the skin’s surface, creating warmth that can help diffuse fragrance. Apply your chosen scent lightly to areas such as:

• Wrists: Apply a small amount to the inner wrists. Avoid rubbing them together, as this can disturb the fragrance.
• Neck: Apply lightly to the base of the throat or collarbone area.
• Behind the ears: This warm area can help release scent subtly throughout the day.
• Inner elbows: Another useful pulse point for longer-lasting fragrance.

Plowden & Fallow fragrances are not artificially coloured. However, care should still be taken when applying fragrance to fabrics. Due to the natural colouring in Ophrys Eau de Parfum, we recommend avoiding fabric application with this particular scent.

Use Moderation

Moderation is key when applying cologne or perfume. A fragrance should leave a refined impression, not overwhelm those around you. Choose a scent that suits your personality, setting and occasion.

Keep a Sensible Distance

Eau de Cologne is generally lighter in concentration than Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum, but a little should still go a long way. Hold the bottle around 6 to 8 inches from the skin and apply lightly.

To better understand the difference between fragrance concentrations, read our guide: The Difference Between Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette and Cologne.
