When is the best time to put on the cologne/perfume?

The best time to apply cologne is after you shower. This is due to the fact that once you get out of the shower, your body is clean and hydrated, which will make the fragrance that you put on remain fully impregnated with your body, last longer and be perceived better. Also, if you bathe with hot water it is even better, since the pores remain open, thus allowing the skin to better absorb the fragrance that you apply. Keep in mind that before putting the perfume on your skin, it must be completely dry so that it does not dilute with the drops of water that remain on your body. Like, you should put the fragrance on about 10 minutes before you get dressed, so that the fragrance has time to settle on your skin without being absorbed by the clothes. Using creams or other supplements for the skin that are moisturizing will also be favorable when applying the perfume, since the fragrance will have a more intense touch and a longer duration.

Is it advisable to put the perfume on clothes?

As we have mentioned before, it is advisable to put on the perfume around 10 minutes before getting dressed, so that it does not absorb the fragrance. However, if your intention is to put perfume on clothes, first of all, you must take into account the delicacy of the garment, since irreparable stains can be produced for the clothes on which the perfume is applied. On the other hand, it is best to apply a few drops of the perfume to the steam iron that you are going to use to smooth the garment. In this way, you will not run the risk of staining the clothes.

Areas of the body where NOT to apply the perfume?

Just as there are favorable key points on the body where to apply perfume, there are also areas where not to apply perfume.

For the hair it would be better to put a specific hair perfume, so as not to have to expose the hair to such oils and chemicals of the perfumes that are supposed to be for the skin and not specifically for the hair.

How to apply the perfume?

Then, when applying the perfume, it is best to spray it at a distance of between 10 and 15 cm, and always with the perfume pointing towards you. It's important because what many people do is spray the perfume in the air and walk past it. However, the perfume will be better applied the other way, since it acts directly on the skin. Keep in mind that the products in the bathtub, if possible, are similar or not very different from the perfume that you are going to apply later, otherwise, the mixture between the two could affect the duration of the perfume and take on a different intensity than The expected. Rubbing the perfume once applied could be another very common mistake. This will mean faster evaporation of the fragrance.
