Wearing perfume can be a wonderful way to express yourself, but too much can scare people away and be harmful to others.
We all know someone who uses too much perfume so you can smell it from a long distance. Have you ever thought that you could very well also use too much perfume to irritate everyone you meet on your way? In this blog we will give you a few tips to ensure that you use the right amount, for the benefit of both you and your surroundings.
Cutting down on the amount of perfume you use is not only for the sake of people around you, but also for yourself. In the worst case, too much perfume can cause migraines or allergic reactions. Unfortunately, some people have a worse sense of smell than others, and therefore they are not familiar with the problem either. Others have simply become immune to perfumes they wear everyday. Even if you can not smell your perfume yourself, it does not mean that people in your environment can not. Carrying too much perfume can also be a sign of depression.
It can often be difficult to know if you are using too much perfume. A good way to find out is by spraying the perfume on yourself as usual. Then wait five seconds. Then place a tissue on the injected site. If the tissue is not stuck, then you have not spent too much. If, on the other hand, you have been so unlucky as to have sprayed too much perfume on you, time may be your friend. If you are impatient or just do not have time, you can more quickly cut down the scent by putting alcohol on a cotton swab or pad and rubbing it on the sprayed area.
You can save a lot of perfume by using it more efficiently. Spray perfume in the air and then go into the scent cloud so it can spread on your body. Keep distance from the perfume bottle to the skin. When you need to spray your perfume on, it is important to keep a distance of approx. 25 cm. If your skin gets wet, you're too close.
If you have a heavier scent, use it on the lower part of your body - e.g. behind the knees. When you spray the perfume on the lower part of your body, the scent will not rise as quickly and be a nuisance to others. By trying, you will quickly find the right amount, and your scent will, as intended, attract people rather than repel them.
