The art of perfuming Where and how to apply perfume
Applying perfume correctly not only enhances its longevity, but also allows its aroma to unfold harmoniously throughout the day. Beyond spraying it randomly, perfuming has its tricks—and mastering them will make the difference between a scent that fades quickly and one that leaves a lasting impression. Discover how to get the most out of your Aguas de Victorio & Lucchino fragrance.
Choose the right body areas
Perfumes react to body heat, which is why it’s recommended to apply them on so-called "pulse points", where the skin is warmer and thinner:
Wrists
Neck and behind the ears
Inner elbows
Back of the knees
Chest or décolleté area
These areas help gradually diffuse the scent throughout the day.
Do not rub the perfume
A very common mistake is rubbing your wrists after applying perfume. This action breaks the olfactory molecules and alters the natural evolution of the scent. Instead, let the perfume settle and dry on its own.
Apply it on clean and moisturized skin
Perfume adheres better to freshly cleansed and moisturized skin. You can apply an unscented lotion or one with a similar base to your fragrance to boost its longevity.
Use the perfume cloud trick
For a more subtle application, especially with intense fragrances, you can create a "cloud" by spraying the perfume into the air in front of you and walking through it. This ensures a light and even distribution over your clothes and hair.
Lightly perfume your clothes and hair
Some fabrics (like wool or cotton) hold scents very well. Spray a little perfume from a safe distance to avoid stains. You can also apply perfume to your brush and run it through your hair to extend the aromatic trail.
Adjust based on occasion and climate
Warm climates: go for fresher scents and apply less.
Cold climates: you can apply a bit more or choose more intense fragrances.
Day or night: during the day, use lighter scents and less quantity; at night, you can choose deeper aromas and apply in more areas.
With Aguas de Victorio & Lucchino, each application becomes a sensory experience. Choose your favorite scent and apply it with intention and style.
