Al Oud Black Velvet

1. Apply After Showering

The best time to apply perfume is immediately after a shower, when your skin is clean and slightly damp. This allows the fragrance to bond more effectively with your skin’s natural oils, enhancing its longevity and strength. Gently pat your skin dry with a towel, and then spray the perfume on key areas. Clean, moisturized skin holds fragrance longer, so consider using an unscented lotion beforehand to lock in the scent throughout the day.

2. Spray on Pulse Points

For maximum effect, apply perfume to your pulse points—these are areas where the blood vessels are closer to the skin, generating gentle warmth that helps diffuse the scent. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows. Spray lightly—usually 1-2 spritzes are enough for each area. These spots allow the perfume to gradually release its aroma, creating a consistent scent trail that is noticeable but not overpowering.

3. Don’t Rub, Just Dab

One common mistake is rubbing the perfume into the skin after spraying it. Rubbing can disrupt the fragrance structure, causing it to fade faster or change its scent. Instead, allow the perfume to air dry naturally, or gently dab without pressure if needed. Letting the fragrance settle on its own will preserve its top, middle, and base notes, allowing you to experience the full depth and character of the perfume.

4. Refresh as Needed

While quality perfumes are designed to last, reapplication might be necessary depending on the fragrance type (e.g., Eau de Toilette vs. Eau de Parfum) and your daily activities. For long days, reapply every 4–6 hours to maintain the scent. Keep a travel-size bottle or perfume solid with you for convenience. Light touch-ups behind the ears or on the wrists are enough to keep you feeling fresh and confident all day long.
