There
is no product easier to apply than perfume. Just spritz and go, right? Our biggest
fear, though, is becoming the skunk in the room when we go on fragrance overload. No matter how nice the scent
of floral or citrus is, too much of it is a clear social faux paus. Christine
Luby, the co-founder of Pinrose
(a company that helps you find your signature scent through music playlists),
says women’s biggest mistake is giving in to this fear.
“Just
remind yourself: If you apply it to your wrists, you can always wash
it off if it’s too strong,” says Luby. “It’s nothing permanent. And if you’re
buying a fine fragrance, the composition should never be cloying or
overwhelming. (And if it is, kick that one to the curb!)”
And
as for those claims that rubbing your wrists together actually breaks down the
molecules? They’re bogus. “Many people claim that rubbing your wrists together
will break down the scent molecules and change the scent, but scent molecules
just aren’t that fragile,” says Luby. “I rub my wrists together, just like I
open my mouth wide when I apply mascara. Neither action really does
anything, but hey, it’s part of my beauty ritual.”
For
the best longevity, Luby recommends applying to the hair. “Hair carries scent
very well, and it also creates this sexy, evanescent quality to the scent.
People will get near you and get a glimpse of the scent but not be
overwhelmed.” For overly dry hair, avoid static by spraying the fragrance
directly on your brush before running it through your hair.
