Demystifying 5 Common Perfume Myths!

Perfumes are a beautiful way to add personality and character to your style. They can also make you smell delicious—but only if you know the best ways to use them. Here are five common myths about perfume busted by Fragrance Company UK: 

Myth 1: Spray Your Wrists

Perfume should be sprayed on the pulse points rather than directly onto your wrists or neck. Your pulse point is where you feel your heartbeat; this is the best place to apply perfume because it will last longer. 

Myth 2: Perfumes Expire

It's a common misconception that perfume will expire. Perfume is made up of alcohol, which evaporates over time and leaves behind a more concentrated scent. The same is true for essential oils—they don't go wrong; they just lose their potency over time.

So while your favorite perfume may no longer smell as fresh or strong as when it came out, this doesn't mean it has gone wrong! It could just be that you've gotten used to how wonderful your favorite scents smell now and need something new to tease your senses with again! 

Myth 3: Keeping It in the Hot Car

• Heat and perfume don't mix.
• If you keep your scent in the car, ensure it's not near open windows or doors. Make sure there are no heat vents pointed toward where you keep your perfume. Also, don't keep your fragrance in a hot car for about 30 minutes at a time—you'll risk melting its scent molecules! 

Myth 4: Only Older People Can Wear Strong Scents

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be old or have a "nose" for solid scents. The opposite is true!

You can wear any perfume for yourself:

• Whether your favorite scent has been around since the 1950s.
• Whether it has notes derived from animal parts or fruit extracts.
• Whether it comes in spray form on your wrist or as a cologne behind closed doors.

The only thing that matters is how much confidence and fun you want to inject into your day-to-day life through this accessory. 

Myth 5: Perfumes Have Always Been Around

This myth is one of the most pervasive myths about perfume. Perfumes have been around for thousands of years but weren't originally made from natural scents. The perfume was initially used as a medicinal remedy in many cultures worldwide. As time went on and science advanced, perfumes changed their formulas to become more effective each year. 

Make sure you are using perfume correctly for the best effect.

You can use perfume anywhere, but it's best to be careful. If you want to smell good, choose a fragrance suitable for your body chemistry and skin type. Your pulse points are the best places to apply the best long lasting perfume for women because they're directly in contact with your blood flow and, therefore, will substantially affect how long the scent lasts on your skin.

In addition to using perfume correctly, make sure that there aren't any ingredients in it which could irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions (such as alcohol). Don't spray too much of any type of fragrance either—if you do this repeatedly over time, then eventually, all those scents will start coming out together instead of just one at once! You might also want to avoid spraying perfumes around people who may not like their cologne/perfume smell as much as others do.
