When you purchase a luxury perfume, you are not just making a transaction, you are investing in an experience, a captivating encounter, and a depiction of your personality.

You may own a Gucci Bamboo, indulge in some Xerjoff perfumes, or try a limited-edition luxury perfume, but even the best designer perfumes for ladies can falter in performance due to application or storage mistakes. 

Whether you wear go to fragrances or limited-edition scents, common mistakes should be avoided to get the most value and performance out of your perfume. 

To help you ensure that you take full advantage of every spritz, below are the 7 most common perfume mistakes every woman should avoid. 

Rubbing Your Wrists Together 

Every woman is seen making this mistake. Many women rub their wrists together after spraying perfume on them, reshaping the scent to their expectations and ‘blending’ the way most people are taught applying perfume. 

In reality, this hinders scent development and breaks down the top notes. The best way to let the scent shine is to allow your eau de perfume is to let it dry. 

Applying to Dry Skin 

Perfume is best applied on skin that is slightly moisturized or vaporized. When replenished on dried skin, the intensity may lessen or it may evaporate quicker. In order to ‘lock in’ the fragrance, applying an unscented lotion or a scented body cream works best.

Spraying Too Much

With luxury perfumes, excess is exactly that – excess. Authentic eau de parfums, and high-end fragrances in general, are concentrated and costly due to the lasting nature and deep complexity of their essences. 

Overapplication may not only be wasteful, it may prove to be socially detrimental. Limit yourself to 2 - 4 sprays on wrists, neck, and areas behind the ears. 

Forgetting the Surrounding Weather 

Velvet Orchid Tom Ford may not be appropriated by the guests in the evening event by wearing it at the start as it is too light and can be overbearing when coupled to other fragrances and in the case of lowering through endurance. 

While such scents as Christian Dior Poison also may prove to be too overbearing in morning meetings. Weather, time, and nature have their limits to fragrances. 

Spraying Perfume on Clothes 

Without proper chemistry, fragrances can be found only on the spots which they are applied on. Perfume sprayed on the shirts is beneficial but, it can be lost touch with its original feel. 

However, pieces of clothing can withhold perfumes, revealing only a bit of its beauty. Exposing to perfumes on the skin is also a must. True quality of perfumes is achieved by sharpening with the skin’s oils. Spraying perfumes on skin in moderation ensures maximum sillage.
